Eventbrite threatens to pull Afrofuture Fest from site due to its 'POC' and 'Non-POC' tickets prices
Afrofuture Fest, a Detroit-based festival, recently debuted differing ticket prices based on the buyer's skin color, causing some Twitter users to call 2019 a"reverse Jim Crowe era," and leading event management website Eventbrite to threaten to pull the festival from its site.
The statement continued:"We do not permit events that require attendees to pay different prices based on their protected characteristics such as race or ethnicity. "Affording joy and pleasure is, unfortunately, still a privilege in our society for POC and we believe everyone should have access to receiving such," the festival said, according to its Eventbrite description.
