Overview
Multiple options are available for specifying the location of a POI in the
product feed. The preferred method is to provide the Place ID of a POI as this
method has the highest degree of accuracy. The other two available options are
to use the name and address of a POI (less preferred) or latitude & longitude
information (least preferred). However, in these cases the resulting mappings
are more ambiguous and mismatched locations are more likely.
The new Find Location Matches tool in Action Center lets you to:
Explore and verify potential location mappings for POIs based on Place ID,
name or address and helps to resolve ambiguities concerning your products.
Obtain the Place ID of a POI without having to use the Places API.
Learn about the eligibility of a POI (see below).
Free listings eligibility
Only POIs that have a certain touristic relevance are eligible for displaying
ticketing information of related products on surfaces like Google Search. The
Free listings eligibility field denotes whether a returned POI can be shown
as a Free Listings Admissions and Experiences.
Usage
Use the free-form input field to enter information identifying a POI. The
supported information includes Place IDs, POI names and address information.

You can use the file upload feature to research multiple POIs at the same
time. The input file should be a plain text file without formatting information.
Each line of the file input corresponds to one search term in the free-form
search field. See the following for an example.
