About
A free collab for the corridor.
Newcastle–Maitland is a non-commercial board for what's on between the coast and Maitland: gigs, shows, markets, clubs. No ads. No paid listings. Nothing on a free tier gets upgraded to a paid API.
The point of this pass is the lock. Each venue has the exact public URL the site will draw from, what that URL is allowed to contribute, and what happened when it was opened on 9 Nov 2026.
Seven listings were already checked by hand. This pass added Sunday Muster at Mortels in Thornton, because two official pages agree on Sunday 15 November, 9am to 2pm, free entry. The December date does not agree, so it stays off. The promo filter is now on for Beresfield Bowlo and Club Maitland City: raffles, bingo, meal deals and untitled “Live Music” stay off. Kisstory, Loaded Limo and Red Dirt Country Band made the board because the show page stated the night. The Years and Code Red did not — their pages returned no date. The locals forum is separate: someone signs in and writes their own night or indie promo. Those posts are not checked, and they never join this board. A blank price there is still not free.
Rules that do not bend:
- Never invent a year.
- A price is not proof of currency, and it is not proof tickets are on sale.
- Empty price is not free. Free is only when the page says free.
- Two official times means the event is held, not averaged.
- Raffles, bingo and meal deals are not what's on.
- Facebook-only diaries stay manual. Ticketek, when it blocks, stays blocked.
- Weather and surf numbers are an Open-Meteo model, not a Bureau forecast, not a wave buoy, and not a rating.
New rooms locked this pass: Flamingos Live in Lambton (formerly Lizotte's), the Great Northern, NEX at Wests City, Wests New Lambton, Wests Mayfield, Club Maitland City, Newcastle Art Gallery and Newcastle Museum. Cambridge Hotel and Maitland Gaol are locked as closed.
One feed is actually pullable: the Newcastle Racecourse calendar. Club Maitland City's iCal answered a header check and then blocked the download, so it is not treated as ready.
