Ask Ashe is where people in Asheville go when they’ve already decided to go out. They ask what’s on tonight or this weekend, and the answer is a list of real events with ticket links. Sponsors get the first row of that list, their name on the guides, or their venue page dressed up — in front of people at the exact moment they’re choosing.
Everything is Buncombe County only, updated three times a day, and built mobile-first for someone standing on a sidewalk deciding where to go next.
Ways to sponsor
Tap one and tell Ashe about your place — a human replies with rates and dates, usually the same day.
Featured spotlight (3 days)
Your photo and your pitch on Ashe’s home screen before anyone asks a question, the top row of the first answer, the top of the landing pages and a block in that week’s Weekender — for three days, one business at a time. Tours, rides, attractions, restaurants, shops.
Weekend Sponsor
The first row of every 'this weekend' answer, Friday through Sunday — the most-read spot on the site.
Tonight Sponsor
The top of every 'tonight' answer, seven nights a week.
Category Sponsor
'Comedy, presented by…' — your name on a whole category page and at the top of every answer in it. Comedy, live music, sports or theatre.
Guide Sponsor
One of Ashe's guides carries your name at the top for as long as it's online — and the guides are built to rank.
Venue partner
Claim your venue page: your photo, your ticket link first, your shows pinned, a 'buy tickets' button that goes straight to your box office.
Ashe's Coffee
Ashe holds a coffee in every picture on the site. It could be yours — one local coffee shop, your name on the cup.
Venues and promoters
Your events are probably already listed — Ashe reads venue calendars and the local listings every day. Claiming your page puts your ticket link first, pins your shows, and adds your photo and phone number. Claim your venue page →
Submitting a one-off event is free: email events@thingstodoavl.com with the date, venue and ticket link.
Deals on Ashe’s Pass (free)
Not an ad — a show-your-pass deal at your place, seen by everyone who buys Ashe’s Pass. No fee, no contract, you set the days and hours. How it works and the form →
