But from the consumer side, I haven't seen this in an online (or for that matter paper ticket) medium. And that makes it brilliant. I organize events all the time and the per-ticket fees are always an unpleasant surprise. The opportunity to NOT have that confusion, to offer a discount to friends and to receive any sort of a gratuity for my efforts would *hugely* impact my interest in repeating the usually thankless (and often abused) task of organizing. The details may need to be refined but the idea is solid. I can’t speak from the venue/artist perspective.

They only excel in two areas. Automobiles and S&M bondage devices. When it comes to software and business models, it's apparent that Germany ranks right in that meaty part of the curve. Not falling behind and not showing off either. So what's new here... uhhh... not seeing anything new. What's viral here? Certainly not the service. Trying to claim some sort of viral appeal would be like Ticketmaster claiming to be responsible for the popularity of Coldplay. Why would German engineers be smarter than any other engineers?

I'm native Spanish but left for Australia decades ago. We organize quite several meetups here with their site and I'm glad to hear about their success. Met one of the cofounders some time ago, and they are really passionate about what they do. Will try this viral ticket thing, guess we start with around 5% to 10% discount and see how it goes.
