My thought was concert tickets. An artist could set an absolute maximum for how much a ticket could be resold for, and the energy costs of maintaining the blockchain would be time-limited to after a show or tour completed.

Of course, Ticketmaster would never allow that because it effectively nukes the scalper market, which they also run through stubhub.
