According to a mom, she and her autistic son were treated like criminals when they went to see Pink perform at a stadium in London.
The woman, who identified herself as Vanessa Vasey, said that she spent around $802 for the tickets to see the pop star.
However, after reaching the venue, security personnel reportedly told her and her son that they had to leave.
The Summer Carnival tour of Pink is currently being performed in 10 different countries.
It has been reported that some of the concerts have caused controversies, such as when a parent was asked to pay $180 to bring their infant along.
A fan also threw the ashes of their mother on stage during one of the performances.
According to Vasey, she and her son Jesse were asked to leave the venue after six security personnel approached them.
She claimed that they were treated like criminals. After hearing about her story, many people reached out to support her.
On her Facebook page, a user stated that it was “horrible” to see how the individuals involved behaved.
Another person said that she hoped that the pop star would see this and do the right thing.
Jesse, who has sensory disorders and autism, refused to stay seated during the concert.
Due to his condition, Vasey was able to purchase hospitality tickets, which allowed her to enter the restaurant and bar areas during the performance.
She said that she and her son were treated poorly.
According to the mom, Jesse refused to sit down, so she stood up and he started dancing.
She also stated that they were not causing any problems since he was three feet tall.
However, she claims that they were intimidated by the large number of people around them.
According to Vasey, they were given a ticket to sit in a soundproof room, but her son reportedly didn’t hear the act and could not watch it on a screen because of his autism.
On her Facebook page, the mom stated that her son deserved better.
The spokesperson for the venue, which is owned by Tottenham Hotspur, stated that they were aware of the issue and were disappointed by how Jesse was treated.
The organization noted that it takes its role seriously in providing a welcoming environment for everyone.
Further investigation revealed that the venue’s welfare and safety teams were able to help Vasey and her son Jesse during the performance.
They were also able to provide them with access to its sensory room.
However, after they declined the offers of assistance, the group left the event.
