[OSM-talk] Tagging concert / music hall

[Jóhannes Birgir Jensson]

Hello Peter.

I found this same issue 2 years ago, when tagging Salurinn 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/180359924#map=19/64.11188/-21.90910

We achieve this by using the correct tag, in this case 
amenity=music_hall (both classical and smaller pop concerts are played 
there). There is no ultimate judge, use it and it becomes a standard.
