Editorial Standards

The one rule that overrides the others

We never invent a fact to fill a gap.

If a capacity, price, policy, doors time, or date isn’t confirmed, the page says so and points you to where you can check it. This isn’t only an ethics position — it’s the entire competitive basis of the site. Two other domains covering this artist carry hundreds of purchased backlinks between them and receive essentially no search traffic, because they’re thin and unverifiable. The moment we guess at a number to make a page look complete, we’re the same thing with better typography.

How we grade a fact before publishing it

Every factual claim on a show page falls into one of three tiers, and the tier determines how it’s presented:

Confirmed — stated by the venue, the artist’s official channels, or another primary source we can link. Published as fact, with the source cited at the bottom of the page. Example: BECU Live’s 5,000 capacity, which Northern Quest states in its own venue promotion.

Estimated — a figure that appears consistently across ticketing sources but that the venue itself doesn’t publish. Published with an explicit “est.” label and a sentence in the body naming where it came from. Example: the roughly 8,000 capacity at Hayden Homes Amphitheater, which Bend Concerts doesn’t state on its own site.

Unconfirmed — we couldn’t establish it from any source we’d stand behind. Either omitted entirely or shown as “TBA,” never filled in. Example: doors and set times for the Modesto show, which the venue hasn’t published; we don’t infer them from other dates on the tour because the three Pacific Northwest shows ran doors at 5:00, 6:00, and 6:30 PM respectively — there’s no pattern to extrapolate from.

What we deliberately don’t publish

No predicted setlists presented as real ones. Writing out a likely setlist and letting a reader assume it’s confirmed is one of the most common tricks on tour-content sites. We describe which albums a tour draws from and point to Setlist.fm’s crowd-sourced entries for what was actually played.

No song lyrics. Lyrics are licensed content. We write about a song’s background, recording, and chart performance and link to a licensed provider or streaming platform for the words.

No net worth figures. The only estimates we found for this artist trace to low-quality aggregators with no sourcing. We won’t repeat a number that has no primary basis.

No relationship, dating, or appearance content. Ty Myers is 19, and was a minor for most of his public career to date. This is a firm boundary across the whole site, including any future tagging or related-content feature — not a stylistic preference we’d revisit for traffic.

No live ticket button on a dead show. A past, cancelled, or postponed date never renders a buy button, regardless of the fact that a click would still earn a commission. Cancelled and postponed shows get an explicit notice instead.

No fabricated significance. If a tour stop has no genuinely notable story, we say something true and specific about the venue or region rather than manufacturing a reason it matters. “His first headline show at Red Rocks at 19, named in the tour’s own announcement” is a real hook. “An unforgettable night in a city that loves country music” is filler, and we’d rather leave the space empty.

Source hierarchy

When sources disagree, we resolve in this order:

1. The venue’s own site for anything operational — bag policy, parking, age rules, accessibility, cashless status.
2. The artist’s official tour listing for dates, cities, venues, and support acts.
3. Established music press (Billboard, and trade outlets that publish tour announcements in full) for tour structure, album dates, and career facts.
4. Reference works (Wikipedia, AllMusic) for biography and venue history, cross-checked against at least one other source where it matters.
5. Ticketing aggregators only for capacity estimates, always labelled as estimates.

Where a low-quality source contradicts several better ones, we discard it rather than presenting a false balance. A single aggregator claiming a different birth date than Wikipedia, AllMusic, and Billboard all agree on isn’t a live controversy — it’s one wrong page.

Corrections

If something here is wrong or out of date — a venue policy that’s changed, a lineup update, a broken link, a capacity we got wrong — tell us and we’ll fix it. Corrections to a factual error are made on the page itself and the verification date updated, not quietly overwritten as though the error never happened.

Venues change policies without notice, and we’re not always going to catch it first. If your experience at a show contradicted what this site told you, that’s the most valuable message we can receive.

What we are not

We’re not Ty Myers’ official website, and we’re not affiliated with him, his management, Columbia Records, RECORDS Nashville, Seated, any venue, or any promoter. We don’t sell tickets, set prices, hold inventory, or process orders or refunds — those happen entirely on the marketplace you buy from, under their terms.

Details of how the site is funded are in the affiliate disclosure, and the broader legal position is in our disclaimer and terms.
