Discord Inc., a social network favored by gamers, is testing a program to let users sell tickets to virtual events, a move that could open up a new revenue stream for the chat company that has seen a surge in participants during the pandemic.
The company has opened the ticketing service to a small, invitation-only group and is still determining whether it will take a cut of the fees, and how much.
