Today’s blacklisted American: Eventbrite routinely blacklists conservative events
They’re coming for you next: Eventbrite, an online “self-service ticketing platform”, has been routinely blacklisting conservative events, often cancelling already existing events or telling customers the event no longer exists, always for vague and often contradictory reasons.
What Eventbrite did to one Matt Walsh event is typical:
In late February, the website removed from its page for a [March 1st] Matt Walsh event on transgenderism sponsored by Young America’s Foundation at Stanford University. Organizers were forced to set up an alternative event page just before Walsh’s appearance. Not only did Eventbrite remove the page, “[h]undreds of registered attendees were surprised to receive emails from the company informing them that their tickets had been canceled,” YAF wrote in a Feb. 27 news release.
Though students at Stanford set fire to promotional flyers put up by YAF prior to the event, the event itself went off without incident.
The article at the first link above lists numerous other times Eventbrite cancelled conservative events without explanation, including several other Walsh university events, a screening of Dinesh D’Souza’s film 2000 Mules that documents fraud and election tampering in the 2020 election, a event in support of the U.S. military, and a Memorial Day event honoring veterans.
All of this blacklisting contradicts Eventbrite’s own mission statement:
Eventbrite is a global self-service ticketing platform for live experiences that allows anyone to create, share, find and attend events that fuel their passions and enrich their lives. From music festivals, marathons, conferences, community rallies, and fundraisers, to gaming competitions and air guitar contests. Our mission is to bring the world together through live experiences. [emphasis mine]
We should add this to that last sentence “…except if you are a conservative or oppose the queer agenda. In that case you should be silenced and a boot smashed into your face.”
A quick scan of the upcoming events in Tucson alone shows that leftist events are welcome, from “‘Come Meet A Black Person’ Anti-Racism Virtual Series” to the “23rd annual Tucson Women’s Day Out Expo” to the “Black Women in Cybersecurity Initiative”.
The last event is especially leftist in its fundamental focus on race, with a stated goal “to promote gender and racial equity in Tech by working to increase the number of Black women in Cybersecurity.” Nothing is wrong with this, except that if a white woman showed up I am sure she would be ushered to the door. This is a segregated event. No whites welcome.
Eventbrite has no problem with such minority-favored segregated events. The only events it insists on banning are those that promote conservative values, the values that founded the United States, ended slavery and racial discrimination, and made Americans the wealthiest and most prosperous humans ever in the history of the human race. These ideas Eventbrite blacklists.
Eventbrite illustrates the difficult situation that exists for freedom-loving Americans. A lawsuit against this ticketing platform would probably fail, thus making it very difficult to counter its anti-conservative bias and blacklisting. Alternative conservative ticketing platforms could be formed, open to all, from the left to the right, but it is likely the left would not use such platforms and our society would continue to break apart into factional bubbles with no cross-communication at all.
Creating alternatives however remains the best option. The competition would force Eventbrite to change, or die. And if it happens quickly enough and with enough vigor, it might actually overwhelm the close-minded totalitarians who are presently taking over American society at all levels.
NOTE: Radio host Robert Pratt, who happens to also be one of my readers, notes in the comments below that he has already found a competitor ticketing platform, Ticketsource.us, that does not blacklist and is glad to work with Americans.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Ticketsource.us is a real business booking site out of the UK that I use for events. So far I’m very pleased. Plus it doesn’t have all the spam you get with these sites like the one in the story. (Posted just in case any of you are needing a site to use to book – I did a considerable amount of research before moving to this site. It is perfect for small business venues, etc. Live support by phone (London, UK hours) is great.)
Robert Pratt: I will add a note to the post noting that a good competitor for conservatives already exists.
Internet companies are largely filled with young, indoctrinated Leftist. Leftist believe that lying is a legitimate means to obtain their goals. That Eventbrite blacklists conservatives is no surprise even though they don’t present themselves that way.
