In our opinion, event discovery via a directory isn't that effective. Real discovery comes from social proof and recommendations from friends/connections.

We're working on some things to assist with this, but we're also looking into other channels of mobile commerce (beyond ticketing) that we can monetize.

But how do you then monetize it? Is your paid promotion program something like you get a percentage of the sales that a directly attributed to your promotion (aka "social proof / recommendations") like for example bandsintown? I guess what I'm still saying is it's unclear if I pay you X what is the value you are providing me. The service is very cool just trying to understand the premium service.
