Body: <p>I guess the answer is probably "No" but I have read this "relate anything to anything" feature here <a href="http://buildwithcraft.com/features/relations" rel="nofollow">http://buildwithcraft.com/features/relations</a> and I was wondering how powerful is that.</p>
  
  <p>I want to create an Events website</p>
  
  <p>In my project users should be able to:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Enter records via a form (Events)</li>
  <li>Change their own records </li>
  <li>Choose an event and say they attend it (subscribe)</li>
  <li>Enter or choose how the travel to that event (by car, bus, plane)</li>
  <li>To rate and add a comment to those events.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The Events should show for instance how many people attend to that event, who are those people and how they travel there.</p>
  
  <p>Ideally users should be able to sell their own even tickets but that will need some custom developing for implementation.</p>
  
  <p>I could reach that kind of functionality with an SaaS database online solution like knapp or Caspio, create their a relational database and embed their database views in a CMS like Craft but I would prefer to use just Craft for the whole project.</p>
  
  <p>Would be that possible to build all that in Craft?</p>
