Thanks for the support so far, I think the leisure key doesn't fit good in the case, the event-destinated area is not a place where people generally go during the year in their spare time when there is no events, so it is a pretty specific land used and reserved for events. Also, the leisure tag would conflict with other leisures inside the event area (pitches, dance halls, stadiums, tracks, etc.) or even with the area the used land is in, for instance a park, which is the example I've given before, of an area inside a park where I live ( http://binged.it/19kxgU2, the circus/event area is part of a park). So, I think landuse best describes it. I know the conflict the landuse key may cause with meadows or parking lots, but it is "mainly used for describe the primary use of land by humans", by its definition at its wiki page; If it's primarily not used for events, it is not properly an event area. Any place can receive events, but not all of them are designated for it. As for recreational grounds, I think what I said here applies to, as its use is not for necessarily for events. Event lands are therefore really designated for that, even though it may be just a ground area (then we can tag landuse=events + surface/landcover/natural). For the value "events", it does describe a dedicated place: used for events; It is a general but also specific tag :). If the event comes to be necessary for its mapping, then we could create, as I said before, some tag like "event_type" with values ranging from corn festivals to world's fairs. "Event_space/place" would come redundant with the key landuse.
