Festival critcized for race-based ticket prices
Read full article: Festival critcized for race-based ticket pricesThe Eventbrite page for "AfroFuture Fest," hosted by Afrofuture Youth, advertised an "Early Bird POC Ticket" for $10 -- with POC meaning "people of color" -- and an "Early Bird NONPOC Ticket" for $20. The group says its reasoning for doubling ticket prices for white people was because white people have the privilege to attend festivals in "POC populated cities." "This cycle disproportionately displaces black and brown people from enjoying entertainment in their own communities," the group said on Eventbrite. The group added that they're promoting "equity over equality" for black youth. CNN has reached out to Afrofuture Youth and Tiny Jag for comment, but has not heard back.
