She’s an American conservative/fascist, and this was a speaking tour. The Australian government denied her VISA because she had the “capacity to incite discord”, so the tour was canceled. But the tour was managed through a shell company that seems to have existed for essentially this exact eventuality: There are no refunds because the company is now bankrupt, and the money was successfully grifted.
A fool and his money are soon parted. I just fucking hate that this is going to end up funding the goddamn right wing conservative grift machine.
Events like concerts are often structured in this way to defray risks, even when organisers are genuine.
I like to think I could “incite discord” if I really tried. I bet most people could!
Just shout “Linux and Star Trek sucks!” on Lemmy. Discord achieved.
well, the ticket buyers got what they paid for in the end: shafted by the far-right.
From memory this is the second time her Australian visa has been denied (the first a few years ago) for the same reason.
So, caveat emptor as these
bagticket holders champion.But not when its me I deserve protections
Damn, America really isn’t sending its best.
I’ve never heard of Candace Owens. How much are tickets for her concerts? $20? $200? Maybe a price without a 2?
Candace Owens is a right wing grifter from the times of Charlie Kirk.
Apparently also literally the only person in the world to actually care about him as a person. That tribute she put out after his assassination would have been quite touching if I didn’t know they were both utterly shitty people.
$88
Joel Jammal, the head of Turning Point Australia and a sponsor for the tour, said he believed it sold 15,000 tickets, which started at $95 and ranged up to $1,500 for VIP tickets, suggesting Rocksman sold at least $1.4m worth of tickets.

Also, not a concert, she only serves the bad kind of drone.
