    Wait hold on, so someone buys tickets to an event, show up, and have to buy canned water.

    What, in your imagination, should be the next steps so they “don’t consent to being abused”?

        In my experience many venues do not let you bring your own water

            Okay, so what’s the instant solution here? Apparently it’s as easy as not consenting.

                Oh we’re definitely both in agreement that they’re being dicks. My issue is that the original comment I replied to is essentially victim blaming folks by saying “all you need to do is not consent, boom, problem instantly solved”.

                Based on everyone else’s input (notably OP neglected to reply), it’s clear that the best you can do is not go to the venue and hope that results in systemic change.

                I wouldn’t bet on that solution.
