Hehe, I'm sorry if I came off as critical. I really respect what you have achieved with Ticketstumbler.

Yeah, people go to concerts to listen to good music. But in the same way you don't typically go to a bar just to get drunk, people don't typically go to a concert just for the music. Socializing with friends is a very strong force that compels people to actually drop $50+ on a concert ticket.

Also, it probably won't be beneficial to try to help find new friends for people to go with. IMO, it would be kind of creepy to stand next to a total stranger for an hour if it "felt like" we should be talking and getting to know each other. :)

Actually, the only reason I ever go to a bar is to get drunk. Perfect record!
