Hi Tekin, You make good points about duplicates and ownership; we receive event data from many different sources, and sometimes it takes some real work to resolve duplicate events.
Eventful does have a program for giving venue owners special tools to manage events at their venue. Each owner can 'claim' their venue at Eventful.com (for example, on the Band on the Wall page you listed), and that gives them much of the access you're looking for. I'll have someone get in touch with you to talk about how you might set up all your venue clients this way.
