The Scalper Tax
Australia's first anti-scalping levy. When scalpers try to profit on Burratix, we take their cut and give it to the artist.

Scalper profit on Burratix
How it works
Three steps. Zero tolerance for scalpers.
Scalper attempts to resell above face value
Our system detects it instantly via dynamic QR codes and price monitoring.
The Scalper Tax kicks in
50% of any markup above face value is automatically charged.
The tax goes directly to the artist
Not to Burratix — back to the person whose work made the ticket valuable.
See it in action
A scalper buys a $100 ticket and tries to sell for $200.
The $100 markup triggers a $50 Scalper Tax — paid directly to the artist.
The scalper nets $150 — barely above face value. Not worth it.
The tech behind it
Three layers of protection that make scalping technically impossible.
Dynamic QR Codes
Regenerate every hour so screenshots can't be resold.
Verified ID Transfer
Tickets only move between real, verified people.
Price-Locked Resale Marketplace
Face value only, or the Scalper Tax applies.
