I love going to concerts and love going to sport events. Ticketmaster is awful, but most of the ticketing platforms are. I always talked with fellow friends how we would love to start a new startup for this, for selling tickets, a fair one, etc. But of course people in the industry wouldn't want it. Really a shame, because it would be one of those cases where I'd be working on somethign that excites me so I would give it all.

I doubt you'd have much luck getting investors on board with a pitch that amounts to "we don't want to screw customers for additional profits"

But what do I know, I'm better with computers than people.
