Frequently Asked Questions
What is Do317?
It's the place to find out what to do in Indianapolis. We list more events than any source in town. Find out about thousands of music, art, theater, film, and special events event happening around town including great food and drink specials. Do317 is also a social networking tool - build your crew, recommend events you like to others, view others' picks and they can view yours. Do317 also has a "Weekly Top Picks" newsletter featuring the highest-rated events of the upcoming week.
How are events ranked?
Rankings are based on the number of people recommending an event, combined with the recommendations from Do317 "Tastemakers" (bloggers and local media). You make a recommendation for an event by clicking "I LIKE IT!" The number next to the title of the event represents how many people have recommended it.
Where do Do317.com events come from?
The events on Do317 come from a number of places. We pull shows from band and venue websites and users add their own events or send us press releases. We also scour the internet looking for unique events. One delightful aspect of Do317 is the ability for you, our users, to add and update events yourself.
How do I add an event?
It's as easy as clicking “Add an Event” at the top of the Do317 homepage and filling in the blanks -- who, what, where, when. You can upload posters or pictures associated with the event too. Please contact us at jb@do317.com if you would like to advertise your event or need help with adding it.
Can I show my friends (and enemies) my recommendations?
You sure can. Once you register you have a profile page that shows all the events for which you've clicked "I Like It!" It also shows the comments you've made about events, bands, and venues. You can share recommendations by clicking the "Email Your Friends" link, or add events on Facebook, Myspace, and more. You can even embed your own customized calendar showing all of your recommendations on your blog or Myspace page. Add some personality to your profile by including a picture, a link (to your website, blog, myspace page, whatever), and a blurb about yourself.
Can I view events by type of event?
Yes! You can search under Concerts & Music, Art & Galleries, or Drink Specials. Within each category you can choose to see only the events your crew has recommended, or the events recommended by "Tastemakers". To make your life even easier you can simply click on Top Picks and see only the most popular events for that day.
What is an Tastemaker?
These folks are the back bone of all the great stuff there is to do in this city. They are the local media, the bloggers, the DJ’s, the artists, and promoters that we are so happy are making it their jobs to get us off our couches and out on the town. They’re so good at it in fact, that we decided to give them a voice on Do317 for you to follow. Tastemaker votes and comments on events are featured below the listing for perusal as are links to their websites. You can find the full list of Tastemakers under the Big Stuff tab on the main page. Follow them, friend them, be one with them, and they will make sure you are in the know!
What about guestlist spots and ticket giveaways?
GUESTLIST:
We here at Do317 want you to have the hookup so occasionally we’ll set up guestlist spots for some of the best events in Indianapolis. If you see an event with a guestlist offer, (you can see all of them at once though the link in the “Big Stuff” tab) click it for IMMEDIATE free entry to the event listed. Be aware however, this only guarantees a spot for you alone, no plus ones. So make sure your friends get on there too!
TICKET GIVEAWAYS:
If you enter to win tickets on the Do317 site, you will receive notification via email no later then 48 hours before the show. If you have won a contest via our Facebook page or Twitter page, we will tag you in the winning post no later then 48 hours prior to the show. Please reply to this post confirming/telling us we’re awesome. It helps that we know you’re coming!
Where do the photos come from?
We figured it wasn't fair to ask you to upload photos to yet another site, and there were already so many great photos Flickr.com, that we decided to pull them from there. If you already use Flickr and want to make sure your photos are available to Do317.com - just tag them Do317 (along with the band or venue name) and we'll find them. Note: You can see the tag for a band or venue by visiting its page on Do317.
