I think number 2 could be huge, especially with Facebook rolling out it new credits/payment platform. Political campaigns and non-profits would love it for fundraisers. I ran a Congressional campaign and something like this would have been great.

I also now a bunch of people in the music/event promotion business locally that would be the perfect fit for this kind of app.

Some of the issues I think of at first glance for this kind of app regard around the physical ticket.

The process of selling the ticket digitally is simple enough but, getting actual physical tickets that work at the door is another task; especially if you take into consideration fraud prevention and some sort of pos mechanism(QR Codes by phone??) to verify the ticket in the case of larger events.

I'm surprised no one in the online tickets space is making a move to integrate the Facebook platform into their current ticketing offerings. Or are they?

I've got experience with events through politics, music, and some work on a web app for handling event registration for car shows on a car enthusiast social network. Feel free to touch base with me at schaecher.michael at gm if you want to bounce anything off me or whatever
