Warped Tour will not be offering their “free parent ticket” promotion this year: In 2015 and 2016, we tested implementing a “Parent Get’s In For Free” program that allowed (1) parent to be admitted to the show for Free if they were bringing a child that had a paid ticket. Unfortunately in 2017 and moving forward, the tour is “going back to our roots” and with the booking of a more balanced lineup including many legacy acts, we are no longer offering the FREE Parent Ticket. Wish instead I could dictate that zero of my dollars go to Attila. But, who am I kidding? I don’t wanna go stand in the sun all day to watch four bands anyway. Expand - View Original
Maybe it'll be re-implemented next year after attendance plummets this year. No free parent tix and a lackluster (at best) lineup...yeah, good luck with that.
So basically they're trying to get around dads that are mid-to-late 30s getting in for free because their kids are old enough to go as well. I don't see why this is so controversial.
