Real-time alerts for events at specific venues like Wembley Stadium: SKIP, 35/100 | Ideas Lab

A notification app for venue events that solves a problem venues and ticketing platforms already solve better.

The pain

Fans occasionally miss events they want to attend at major venues. They have to remember to check websites or social media, or they find out too late.

The gap

Venues, ticketing platforms (Ticketmaster, AXS), and social media already send notifications about events. The gap isn't real, it's a symptom of user behavior (not following accounts, not enabling notifications) rather than a missing product.

Build angle

If you built this, you'd need venue partnerships to get event data, then compete on notification timing and UX against platforms that already own the customer relationship. You'd be a middleman extracting no unique value.

Strengths

Clear, understandable problem statement
Large addressable market (millions of sports/concert fans)
Venues are identifiable and reachable for partnerships

Risks

Ticketmaster, AXS, and venue apps already send these notifications, user problem is behavior, not product availability
No defensible moat; any venue can build this themselves or use existing platforms
Requires venue API access or data partnerships; venues have no incentive to send traffic to a third-party app
User acquisition cost will be high because fans already have notification channels they ignore
Revenue model unclear, venues won't pay, fans won't pay for notifications they can get free elsewhere
Retention will be low; users open the app only when they remember, then leave

Lack of comprehensive subscription platform for Pokémon TCG guides

TCG players love reading guides but hate using Metafy; they desire a Sixprizes-style website offering $20-30/month access to all articles plus strong community interaction.
