For venue owners
Verifying your venue
Verification is not a gate in front of value — it’s a shield around your venue. Here’s how it works, what you can do right away, and why it protects your business.
Verification protects your venue.
Claiming connects you to your venue. Verification confirms you’re authorized to manage it — so no one else can claim it, change your information, or misrepresent your business. It’s free and takes minutes.

Frequently asked
Why do we verify venue ownership?
Because we want to protect your business. Without verification, anyone could potentially claim a venue they don’t own or operate and submit incorrect information. Verification helps ensure:
- Only legitimate venue representatives gain owner access.
- Venue information remains accurate — hours, address, and details stay correct.
- Customers receive trustworthy information when they discover your venue.
- Your business reputation is protected from impersonation.
- Unauthorized users cannot make changes to your venue profile.
What happens after I verify?
Verified venue owners get full ownership authority:
- Manage all venue information, including name, address, and canonical details.
- Receive venue insights and analytics.
- Promote events.
- Display the Verified badge that signals trust to customers.
- Access subscription features and participate in future venue tools and programs.
Can I start using paid features before I'm fully verified?
Yes. If you subscribe, you get value right away — you do not have to wait days to use the platform. While verification is pending you can:
- Access your dashboard and analytics.
- Manage your marketing settings and promote events.
- Submit changes for review.
- Receive priority support.
The only things that wait for verification are the high-impact, hard-to-reverse controls — changing the venue’s name, address, or canonical data, and the Verified badge. This protects you (and the venue) while we confirm ownership: a subscription proves you’re serious; verification proves the venue is yours.
What if I'm not ready to verify?
No problem. Your venue will continue to appear on ThatEventSite.com as part of our discovery network — exactly as it does today. Verification simply unlocks ownership features and protections; it never removes your venue from discovery.
How do I verify?
Verification confirms you represent the venue — typically via a venue-domain email, a phone/listing match, or a quick manual confirmation. It’s free and designed to take minutes, not days.
Does verification cost anything?
No. Verification is free and separate from any subscription. You can verify ownership without paying, and you can pay without being fully verified — they’re two different things, and we keep them separate on purpose.
