As the Mainstream Media denies Iran poses any threat to the free world while they test-fire missiles in defiance of said same free world that can reach Israel and its neighbors, it occurred to me that Iran is likely to now get a bad rap, even from the Mainstream Media, because even the most ignorant and/or liberal American can figure out that Iran possessing long-range missiles while refusing to give up its nuclear program cannot be a good thing.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to point out why Iran should NOT get a bad rap, especially when it comes to choosing a venue for your next event.

The following are the Top 10 reasons you should consider the country (or if you aren’t into the whole brevity thing: “Terrorist Sponsor Nation”) of Iran as your next event venue par excellence:

1 - No need for fireworks or pyrotechnic specialists - pyrotechnics in the form of missile tests are ongoing

2 - Comic entertainment provided by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad free of charge

3 - Plenty of parking

4 - Plenty of cheap fuel, including Nuclear

5 - Your Promotional Items can be inscribed with “I survived an Event in the Axis of Evil”

6 - No Jews to ruin your day

7 - No Dissidents to ruin your day

8 - Catering includes all-you-can-eat Hummous

9 - No chance of war according to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

10 - Security is top-notch

There are a ton of Event Planning sites (here is a list of top Event Planning Websites), and a lot of them have gone belly-up or have been bought out. Some of them offer event tickets and managing the process as part of the slew of services they provide.

However, a couple online event planning sites that include event tickets as part of their offerings have a model whereby they take a percentage of the ticket sales. This model seems to be working. Evidence of this is in the venture funding these sites have attracted according to the story below.

This means event tickets can be still be done online along with all of the other event planning and marketing functions, but it looks like paying for this part of the service is the only viable way for this service to continue to be offered.
