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.
