I tried setting up a platform exactly like this a few years ago, and launched it in Australia.
I think you have no idea how deep the hole goes here.
I can only speak of my local experience, but it was so hard getting off the ground. Convincing artists and promoters to use an unknown site, convincing users that they should place fair bids (no, you don't want to pay $9999 for a ticket...)
The number of venues that had exclusive deals with Ticketmaster or Ticketek to be the sole seller of tickets for the venue also made selling tickets in larger venues impossible.
I ended up winding down the platform after running it only for a few months. Maybe if I had more capital, and some better connections inside the entertainment community, things could have been different.
