Agreed, I see this site failing hard. The traction is going to be very very slow and they've been in business for 2 years already.]]>

I don't think you understand the crowd-funding aspect here. Customers do not risk anything. The promoter only risks their time in attempting to get it set up.

Have you used Kickstarter before? The premise is the same. If the promoter doesn't sell X tickets by a certain date, then the event does not happen, and all the customers get refunded. So you risk nothing by buying a ticket.

Read a little before you mash your keyboard.]]>

What don't you get about the name Picatic? 

pic-a-tic. 

Get it?

PICK A TICKET 

Seems pretty straight forward... at least you were able to recognize the actual problems with this start up.]]>

I'm building a Time Machine but can only start if I get enough funds. Buy your ticket to ride now! Don't worry money back guaranteed* if I don't have enough interest.

<title>what_risk</title>
<description><![CDATA[
I'm failing to find the risk to buyers.
Says right there under the third question:

"If the preset number of tickets are not sold, funds are returned in full to buyers."]]>

another crash and burn start-up.  i see two problems;   

1. how do you pronounce the freaking name? why not simplify it like PTic or Peetik. golden rule of startup names use 2 syllables.

2. if you need to watch a 15 minute video on using an app, before using it then it's an instant FAIL.  

honestly, how is this idea going to make a dime.  when you're screwing customers on taking all the risk instead of promoters.  i certainly wouldn't want to buy tickets for an event that might be cancelled.  this idea is so laughable. ]]>

Not a bad idea. As someone involved with a lot of smaller shows, this might make people more willing to put them on. Assuming of course the site actually works well, and becomes popular.]]>
