Eventbrite probably wants to sell tickets to every event on the planet [and take a cut]. That doesn't sound so un-sexy from a business perspective. (I don't know anything about their numbers, just saying.)

Businesses that create value in physical world with stuff customers can touch i.e.: architecture, civil engineering, car companies or even weapon industry for sake of argument. I still believe that physical objects have more value than "virtual stuff".
