You may need to loop it up until you get response as "y" like the following.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Put Values in an myarrayname and read them back
file="FILE.EXT"     # input filename

yes="n"
while read line ;do
      wardevent=${line:3:2}                        # find the wardells Event code 
      eventnam=$(echo $line | cut -d '"' -f4)        # Extract the event

#read -p "Enter the code for the Center event $eventnam  - " mmevent </dev/tty

#read -p "Is this Event Code correct? y/n " yes </dev/tty
#    if [ "$yes" == "y" ]
#        then myarrayname["$wardevent"]="$mmevent"    # Write new line to Array and Continue to next entry
#        else exit                                    #Ask again to redo line
#    fi 
     until [ "$yes" == "y" ]
     do
       read -p "Enter the code for the Center event $eventnam  - " mmevent </dev/tty
       read -p "Is this Event Code correct? y/n " yes </dev/tty

     done
    myarrayname["$wardevent"]="$mmevent"
    yes="n" 
done <"$file"
