&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/logo_amiando.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-95207&quot; title=&quot;logo_amiando&quot; src=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/logo_amiando.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; height=&quot;46&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It might not seem like there&amp;#8217;s much room for cool ideas when it comes to selling tickets, but the executives of a startup called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amiando.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Amiando&lt;/a&gt; disagree. They&amp;#8217;re rolling out some smart new features that should make it easier to promote events.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like competitors &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eventbrite.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Eventbrite&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.regonline.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;RegOnline&lt;/a&gt;, Amiando (which is a sponsor for our &lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/mobilebeat-2008/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;MobileBeat 2008&lt;/a&gt; event on July 24) allows you to create a page where users can register and buy tickets for your events. Amiando has a strong package already &amp;#8212; among other things, it sold tickets for the Crunchies Awards that we co-hosted in January &amp;#8212; and just launched &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amiando.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a completely redesigned site&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Co-founder and chief executive Felix Haas tells me there are two new features in particular that stand out, and which are unique to Amiando. First, the company has enabled &amp;#8220;viral&amp;#8221; ticket sales &amp;#8212; namely, when someone buys a ticket to your event, you can give them a special code that they pass on to their friends. If one of those friends buys a ticket, both the original and new ticket buyers get a discount, so people have more incentive to hype your event to their friends.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Second, event pages can now be designed through a modular interface that Haas calls &amp;#8220;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netvibes.com/#General&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;NetVibes&lt;/a&gt; for events.&amp;#8221; Like customizable news aggregation site NetVibes, Amiando&amp;#8217;s event pages are now built from modules, so that you can quickly add elements like directions, a comment wall and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt; videos, then move them around and resize them through a drag-and-drop interface. The modules aren&amp;#8217;t limited to the events page, either &amp;#8212; you can include them as &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFrame&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;IFrames&lt;/a&gt; on any Web page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-5.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;alignnone size-full wp-image-95208&quot; title=&quot;picture-5&quot; src=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/picture-5.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Munich, Germany startup has focused most of its marketing efforts in Europe &amp;#8212; so far, at least. &lt;a href=&quot;http://venturebeat.com/2008/06/04/event-ticketing-companies-amiando-and-eventbrite-get-european-backing/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Amiando raised an undisclosed first round&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a class=&quot;fund&quot; href=&quot;http://www.wellington-partners.com/wp/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wellington Partners&lt;/a&gt; and Adinvest last month.&lt;/p&gt;
