Race Relations Commissioner Melissa Derby has condemned the use of racially tiered ticket pricing at a Christchurch music event, stating, “I want to also say, unequivocally, that racism against any group in this country is something that will not be tolerated.”
The event, organised by Browntown and supported with public funding, offered discounted tickets to Māori and Pasifika attendees, sparking a backlash over whether such policies promote division rather than unity.
