# Saturday Seat Scout Event Intake

Use this when adding a new event to `src/data/events.ts`.

## Required Research

- Confirm event name, venue, city, state, date, and time from a reliable public source.
- Create a short, readable slug ending in tickets.
- Pick the category and tags that match buyer intent.
- Write a specific buyer angle instead of generic ticket copy.
- Add seat, parking, and timing notes that answer real buyer objections.
- Set a conservative demand score, then revise after checking search volume, sellout status, or resale movement.
- Include sourceLabel and sourceUrl before using the page for paid traffic.
- Run npm run build and review /dashboard/ for source gaps, thin markets, and placeholders.
