Eight year old children will be given free tickets, if accompanied by a ticket holding adult to see Rupaul’s Drag Race “After Hours” show. Who seriously thinks this is a good idea or even normal? When you were eight years old, did you ever fantasize about seeing a “drag show”? I have no problems with adults who want to waste their money to see shows like this, but eight year old children? Come on man!
An “after hours” drag queen show based on the popular RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise will allow children aged eight and under to attend for free alongside an adult ticket holder.
Children aged eight and under were able to attend the “after hours” drag queen shows held as part of a RuPaul’s Drag Race convention in the United Kingdom this weekend for free, a report has claimed.
According to a report by The Telegraph, two “after hours” drag queen shows held over the weekend as part of the convention were accessible by children, with the publication even stating that free tickets were being offered to those eight and under attending the event so long as they were accompanied by a paying adult.
Such a claim appears to be backed by the RuPaul’s Drag Con web page, with an FAQ section of the site saying that “[k]ids 8 and under are free when accompanied by an adult with a ticket”.
“Kids will be let in during All Star hours if the adult has a All Star ticket,” the website explains. “This ticket does not include entrance to any separate DragCon After Hours Parties, unless the adult has a seperate ticket for After Hours as well [sic].”
