You should create an EVENT PROMOTER page if you host or manage various shows and events at numerous locations - such as band managers, dance companies, non-profit organizations, or club promoters .  You can select several different event types that best describe the activities you are involved in, as well as upload photos, flyers, information, and link to the websites where your tickets are sold.
