Frequently asked questions

How were these events checked?

Each row was read on the organizer’s or venue’s own page, not copied from a listings site. The link in the first column is that page and the check date is in the log. See our editorial standards and verification log.

What if a price says “not published”?

It means the organizer’s page did not show a price when we looked, often because tickets sit behind a booking widget. We leave it blank instead of guessing; use the event link to see current prices.

What is the next event in the Knoxville Area region?

Knoxville Ice Bears home game: KPOP Night vs Fayetteville, Oct 24, 2026, in Knoxville. Dates shift, so use the link in the table.

Where do I report a wrong date or price?
