Streamer Lowco has accused TwitchCon party organizers for not providing attendees with “enough” free water because each ticket holder only receives three drink vouchers.
In October, TwitchCon will be held in Las Vegas. However, Twitter users are already criticizing the event’s organizers for not providing free, accessible water to all attendees. Twitch streamer Lowco lambasted TwitchCon Party organizers on Twitter for not providing attendees with unlimited free water at the desert event. Lowco contended that all attendees at the event ought to be given free water because, barring a heatwave, October temperatures in Las Vegas are typically around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Only those with party tickets are being provided with complimentary water. In addition to the $149 TwitchCon tickets, Lowco tweeted a picture of what is included with the $100 party add-on. This contained three drink tickets that could be used for water, soda, or alcoholic beverages, dueling axes, an asylum bar and arcade, five iron golf, Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, Museum Fiasco, and Wink World.
She commented: “The TwitchCon Party is $100 and includes 3 free waters! Nice!”
She received criticism in return, with one commenter countering that “Not everyone consumes alcohol, they’re just letting folks know there are alternative options available. Normally, Omega Mart costs $50 or more by itself. The want to be unfavorable is insane. Lowco responded, saying, “Not having free water at an event that costs $100 during dangerously high temperatures is absolutely worth complaining about.”
The majority of other Twitter users appeared to concur, with one writing: “Agreed. Water stations, water fountains, etc. Should all be free and highly accessible. It doesn’t have to be bottled water, but it is a safety issue with high temps.”
On the TwitchCon website, it’s unclear whether other forms of water will be available there or if the three drink tickets will be the only options. TwitchCon has faced criticism in the past, too. The hosts faced criticism in 2019 for setting out drinks for visitors to take unaccompanied.
