It's already there. There's a Buy Ticket button on concert mentions.

Google vs iPhone and Facebook 16 years ago
Ever think that maybe you didn't understand it?
Apple had a personal computer OS before Microsoft did. Did they try to lock Microsoft out of the personal computer OS business? No.
Apple had a graphic operating system before Microsoft. That time they did try to lock them out, but it was half-hearted and didn't even begin to work (and that wasn't Jobs anyway).
Not sure what to call the iPhone, what category it is, but did they erect any barriers to keep Google out of it? When Google entered did they do anything to try to take the market Google was going after? (They would have had to license their OS to do that.) No. They didn't care. As long as they control their own platform they're happy.
You guys ought to think a little. When you hear something that strikes you as totally wrong, consider the possibility that you're not looking at it from the right angler, as you did in this case.
