There is a Cccp concert, and the Cua in Bologna is organizing an autoreduction: “Here are the tickets for 0 euros”

"Access to a public square cannot be regulated by ticket": the Cua collective launches a self-reduction for the Cccp concert in Bologna on May 21st

BOLOGNA – Symbolic barriers on the Crescentone, “zero euro” tickets printed in-house and a gazebo set up as a ticket office but “free for all“. The activists of the Cua of Bologna thus set foot in Piazza Maggiore today to launch the self-reduction that the collective has announced it wants to implement on the occasion of the Cccp concert on May 21st >.

That evening “we will also dance to the music under the stage in Piazza Maggiore“, says Anna on behalf of the Cua, explaining that today’s initiative serves to start “in a provocative way” the distribution of free tickets to attend the performance.

“YOU CANNOT cordon off a public square”

“Spaces and culture cannot be cordoned off”, we read on the banner carried by the collective in the square today. On the 21st, in fact, the concert area will most likely be fenced off so as to be accessible only to Cccp fans who in just a few hours have grabbed the 8,500 tickets put on sale at 57.50 euros. But “we don’t believe – continues the activist – that access to a public square can be regulated by ticket, even more so if at a price so inaccessible for us students and young precarious workers”.

“ON THE 21ST LET’S ALL GO TO THE CONCERT TOGETHER”

For this reasonthe CUA is meeting on the 21st in Piazza Nettuno, “inviting everyone to go to the concert together”, continues Anna, “against a city model that increasingly closes, privatizes and militarizes the squares and streets.” In the meantime, the spokesperson of the collective explains, there have been no contacts with the municipal administration or with the organizers of the event: “More than a month has passed since we launched the self-reduction but we have had no discussions or responses “.
