In a similar way, you can't select the Product Type to apply a discount by, in core Commerce, which would be handy, and similar to what you're wanting (the wrapper around products/events).
When you mention matching condition for the Event itself do you mean using the "Order Condition Formula" settings?
We'd need to get Commerce to add events for us to provided "Matching Options" to handle this better.
When setting up a Discount code it's possible to only apply it to matching items. One way to define these matches is via a category.
I have created a category called "Discount allowed" and assigned my event to it. I have created a discount code that matches the category "Discount allowed".
When I add a ticket for the event to the basket, and add the code, no discount is applied.
If, instead, I use a matching condition for the Event itself then the discount is applied.
Although that's a temporary work around for us, we have a lot of events. And it would be far simpler for the admin to simply add the event to a category rather than have to remember to go and add the event to every discount code that's running.
