Is there a way to get meta data from the Event post itself, for example, I don’t want the whole venue address, but just the City. These are not custom fields.
Have you looked at the tribe_get_city() function? If you are within the loop on an events page it will assume the current event, or alternatively you can pass in the post ID of an event:
Many are documented in the Template Tags & Standard Functions section of our docs.
We’ve also got a handy link in our Useful Resources widget over on the right of this page that you can use to visit the technical docs if you can’t find any useful posts or snippets in the forum.
