The category of location is provided to us by the venue and is not a specific description of the location.   

  
12. Mobile tickets. Certain venues require mobile tickets for admission to an event. If you have purchased an event ticket for such a venue, you must have a smart device that can display a QR or other bar code at the admission gate or you will not be allowed into the facility.
