Event page checks
What our checks find on event pages
Around Lex lists Lexington events from their official pages, and every listing carries the date it was checked. The same checks can look at a venue’s own pages for it, and say what is wrong and how to fix it.
What we check
- Dates and times: the day, the start and the end, and doors when the page lists them.
- Prices: admission, fees and day-of prices, as the page states them.
- Ticket links: whether each one opens a working ticket page for the right show.
- Addresses: the store or venue and its address on every page a visitor uses, including RSVP and checkout pages.
- Past events left up: dates that have passed but still sit in the list.
- Pages a plain read can't see: calendars that load their events with a script, so a plain read of the page shows no events.
How a check works
- We read the venue’s own page: its events page, the event’s page and the ticket or RSVP page it links.
- We record the time of each read, to the second.
- We compare what the pages say with each other and with the last read. A page that disagrees or answers with an error is read again before we report it.
- Each finding names the page, the read times and one fix. A problem we could not confirm is left out.
Two things our checks found
Both come from our own reads of public pages, made while keeping the Around Lex calendar current. We were not working for either business.
Joseph-Beth Booksellers: an RSVP page that named another store
The RSVP page for the Lexington Children’s Theater preview of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! (November 14, 2026, 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM) named the Cincinnati store. Its checkout and event data showed Cincinnati and an address on Madison Road, while the store’s events page listed the same preview as a Lexington event.
Read November 9, 2026 at and again at . Both reads of the RSVP page showed Cincinnati. A browser check of the events page at 13:16:22 UTC the same day saw the preview there with an RSVP link.
The fix: change the venue on the RSVP page to the Lexington store, or, if the event is meant for the Cincinnati store, fix the events page instead.
What we did on Around Lex: we held our own listing of the preview out of our event lists until both pages name the same store.
The Burl: a ticket page that returned a server error
The ticket page for Maggie Rose on November 20 answered with a server error (“500 Internal Server Error”) instead of a ticket page.
Read November 9, 2026 at and again at . Both reads returned the 500 error. The shows page loads its list with a script, so a plain read could not show whether the show is listed.
The fix: open the Get Tickets link for this show from the shows page, and if it fails, ask the ticket host to restore the page or take the link down until it works.
What we did on Around Lex: we held our own listing of the November 20 show out of our event lists until the venue’s pages confirm the date.
