Insurance for who? The white peoples who own it? f*** em

So no refunds or they gotta pay back outta pocket? Lol

nvm. they okay if they do it like Live Nation

Massive L

LMAOOOO

No one does. Coachella gonna get smacked too but not as hard since apparently SXSW’s artists specifically put in a “no force majeure” clause meaning even if they did get shut down by s*** out of their control, they’d still have to pay their artists.

eternal scrambles

can you blame em who couldve predicted this

BRUH those comments

nice

Rich privileged white kids lose again, shoutouts the Fyre Festival

lmaoooo

I don't think you fully understand how SXSW actually operates

What are the ticket prices for SXSW and the main demographic that attends the event?

I'm awa5 that it isn't just a music festival if that's what you mean

This is going to really hurt them

There's not a single bad Uncle Ruckus scene

Badges usually run up over $500 (wristbands around $100 - 150) though usually if you work for a publication/media outlet/company/etc that is covering the event or has involvement/brand activation, more often than not they buy their employees the credentials (plus you can also get a badge for free if you volunteer). Like, it's not just some big ass party for college kids to do during spring break, it's a massive professional networking conference across the fields of education, tech, film, and music. That plus there are a s***load of businesses and venues here in Austin that depend on the money SX brings in (~$350m for the city) to make it for much of the year, and it's already difficult as it is for entities to operate here with the ever increasing rent prices.

I know this might be funny looking from the outside and I get that, but for lack of a better phrase, a lot of local workers might be really f***ed because of this

WAIT

WHAT ABOUT THE NEW MOVIES PREMIERING THERE?!
