Considering their competitor is LYV(Live Nation) at a market cap of 10 Billion... Who wouldn't want a piece of that pie? Hopefully they will be able to raise enough capital to bring lawsuits against LYV for their anti-competitive and monopolistic practices.

That's the context I was missing :) [my initial comment now also applies to LYV]

LiveNation owns venues, promotion houses (booking agencies), festivals (brands), and so on.

And they can easily force their own venues and festivals to use their own system. (TicketMaster)

I hope Eventbrite can make a serious dent in this monopoly.
