   1    | Venue1    |  1      | Event1 
   1    | Venue1    |  2      | Event2 
   2    | Venue2    |  2      | Event2

Answer 1

Try this:

SELECT
    v.VenueID,
    v.VenueName,
    v.EventID,
    e.EventName
FROM
    VenueTable v
INNER JOIN
    EventTable e 
    ON (v.EventId = e.EventId)

UNION

SELECT
    v.VenueID,
    v.VenueName,
    v.EventID,
    e.EventName
FROM
    VenueTable v
INNER JOIN
    EventTable e 
    ON (v.VenueID = e.VenueID)

This emulates a FULL OUTER JOIN in MySQL
