I would not claim that www.events.com represents a Place, if it in fact,
does not. It will confuse anyone reading the markup and lead to a bad
experience for all.

I am not sure the intended use of the URL. If it is to watch the event,
something like a WatchAction may be appropriate, but it comes down to
figuring out what you intend to say with your markup.
