Editorial Policy — Catch Movement 2026
Catch Movement is an independent live-events discovery platform. This page explains exactly how we decide what to publish, where our data comes from, who writes and reviews our content, how we handle mistakes, and how our affiliate relationships are disclosed. Transparency is not a legal box to tick — it is the foundation of our readers' trust.
Editorial mission
Catch Movement exists to help fans find live events they will actually love — concerts, sports, comedy, theatre, festivals, and cultural events — across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Ireland. We publish content when it helps a real person answer a real question: Is my favourite artist touring this year? How much do front-row tickets cost? What venues are near me? Which shows are sold out and which still have availability?
Every page on this site serves a specific informational intent. We do not publish vanity content, keyword-stuffed filler, or pages designed to rank without genuinely helping readers. Our editorial bar is simple: if a page would not help a live-event fan make a better decision, it does not belong on the site. This applies equally to artist bios, city guides, genre directories, and evergreen how-to articles.
We cover Punjabi concerts, K-Pop tours, Latin live music, and dozens of other genres and scenes that mainstream ticketing platforms often surface poorly. Representing diverse audiences accurately — with correct artist names, correct venue details, and culturally appropriate context — is as much a part of our editorial mission as covering arena rock or major-league sports.
How we research event and ticket data
Event listings on Catch Movement are sourced directly from the Ticketmaster Discovery API, the official primary-market feed for live events across North America, the UK, and Europe. This feed is ingested on a rolling refresh cycle — typically every three to six hours depending on the page type — so availability status, price floors, on-sale dates, and sold-out indicators reflect Ticketmaster's own live inventory as closely as technically possible.
We do not scrape secondary resale marketplaces, manufacture synthetic price estimates, or fabricate event details. If the Ticketmaster feed returns no confirmed dates for an artist in a given city, the page states that clearly rather than inventing a placeholder date. When a show sells out on Ticketmaster, that status propagates to our listings on the next ingestion cycle.
For evergreen editorial content — artist bios, venue histories, genre guides, and FAQ answers — our writers consult multiple independent sources: official artist and venue websites, verified press releases, Setlist.fm for historical concert data, local venue capacity databases, and published music journalism. No factual claim in our editorial copy relies on a single unverified source. Where a piece of information cannot be independently confirmed, we either omit it or explicitly flag it as unconfirmed.
Evergreen pages are reviewed on a minimum six-month refresh cadence. Any page that contains time-sensitive claims — tour year labels, ticket prices, venue capacity figures — is prioritised for review at the start of each calendar quarter and whenever a major tour announcement triggers a content audit.
Author and reviewer process
All editorial content published on Catch Movement is produced by a small in-house team working under the Town Media Labs banner. Writers are assigned to content categories based on domain knowledge — our Punjabi and South Asian music content is written by team members with direct cultural familiarity; sports content goes to writers who follow the relevant leagues; venue and city guides are written by writers who have verified location details against multiple authoritative sources.
We operate a mandatory two-person review for any page that makes factual claims about specific events, dates, prices, venue capacities, or artist biographical facts. The first reviewer checks factual accuracy against primary sources. The second reviewer checks tone, editorial neutrality, and consistency with site style before publication. Neither reviewer is the same person who wrote the draft.
AI-assisted drafting tools may be used to accelerate research or structure initial outlines, but every sentence that makes a factual claim is verified by a human editor before it goes live. We do not publish unreviewed AI-generated content. We do not publish fabricated setlists, invented ticket prices, or synthetic fan reviews.
Author bylines appear on longer-form guides and opinion pieces where editorial perspective is present. Static data pages (artist tour schedules, city event listings) carry a "Catch Movement editorial team" byline rather than attributing routine data curation to a named individual. Where a named author byline appears, the attribution reflects the actual human who researched and wrote the piece.
Corrections and updates policy
We take accuracy seriously. When a reader, artist representative, venue, or promoter reports an error — wrong date, wrong venue, wrong price, incorrect biographical detail, or factual misstatement — we investigate immediately and correct verified errors within one business day. The correction is made in place on the live page; the page's dateModified field in our schema markup is updated to reflect the correction date so search engines pick up the refreshed version promptly.
For minor corrections (spelling, formatting, stale price floor), we update silently and note the change internally. For substantive factual corrections (wrong event date, wrong venue, misattributed quote or statistic), we add a brief correction note at the bottom of the relevant section explaining what was changed and when, so returning readers understand what has been updated.
We do not delete correct historical content to make past inaccuracies invisible. Transparency over convenience is our operating principle.
To report an error, use our contact form or email corrections@catchmovement.com with the page URL, the specific claim you believe is incorrect, and a source or evidence you can share. We respond to all correction requests.
Affiliate disclosure
Catch Movement is an authorized affiliate partner of Ticketmaster via the Impact affiliate network (publisher ID 7072456). When a reader clicks a ticket link on this site and completes a qualifying purchase on Ticketmaster, we may earn a small commission. You pay nothing extra. Prices are identical whether you click through us or navigate directly to Ticketmaster.
This commercial relationship does not influence which events we cover, how we describe them, or whether we recommend them. We surface all events that appear in the Ticketmaster feed for the cities and genres we cover — not a curated subset chosen to maximise commission. Our editorial rankings, guides, and recommendations reflect genuine editorial judgment, not affiliate economics. Full disclosure details, including compliance with FTC, Competition Bureau, and EU consumer protection guidelines, are on our Disclaimer page.
Sources we cite
Catch Movement relies on a defined set of authoritative sources for editorial content. We cite primary sources wherever possible and clearly distinguish between confirmed facts and contextual commentary.
- Ticketmaster Discovery API — the canonical source for all event listings, ticket availability, on-sale dates, price ranges, and venue identifiers. All data ingested from this feed is treated as primary-market information.
- Setlist.fm — used for historical setlist research, typical show length estimates, and song-by-song concert reporting in our artist guides. Setlist.fm data is community-contributed; we cross-check high-stakes claims against other published sources.
- Official venue websites — capacity figures, accessibility information, parking details, and house rules are verified against each venue's own published materials.
- Official artist websites and verified social channels — tour announcements, presale codes, and biographical statements are sourced from the artist's own platforms where available, not from third-party rumour or fan speculation.
- Published music journalism — for biographical context, we reference credible published interviews and reviews from established music media. We do not reproduce copyrighted text; we paraphrase and attribute.
