Startup Idea : Event promotion app

This would be a bit like the current events functionality on facebook but would work better as it would be specifically designed for people to promote and learn about events of interest to them in their area. People could sign up as either venues (not necessarily physical venues but events organisers) or punters. Venues would pay a subscription to upload a certain number of events per month (there would be different scales for different numbers of events, as well as the option to pay per event, the idea being to make it accesible for both large scale events companies and small collectives organising gigs etc). Punters could follow venues that interested them as well as connect with their friends and see who they are following and what events they want to go to. Punters would be able to search for venues in their area as well as local events on specific dates with both a calendar and list view. Punters could also organise private events for free which would only be visible to their friends.
