Concerts have fans and performers, but they also have venues. The venues need to be a part of this as well. What's your pitch to them? Why would they give you a cut? Who gets what cut of the pre-purchases?

I think an app should focus on connecting bands and venues, not bands and fans. One uncommon, but useful problem to solve is when a band, say they're travelling from DC on Friday night to Gainesville, FL for a Sunday show, wants to perform somewhere in between the two dates (maybe their show in Asheville, NC got cancelled for some reason). There's a club in Wilmington, NC that wants some live music on Saturday. In that way, you help everyone. Even if we're not talking about touring bands, clubs can post open nights, bands can say we're available in this radius, etc.
