Pride Glasgow

[2] Beginning in 2014, the organizers of Pride Glasgow have charged an admissions fee that works to "help raise money for The Pride Fund designed to support the LGBT Community in Glasgow and the West of Scotland.

"[3] In protest, Free Pride Glasgow was founded in 2015 and has still continued despite planning controversies.

There was a widely covered issue caused by the overselling of tickets to the event which caused thousands to be left queuing outside the park for hours, whilst other people who pre-booked tickets were turned away at the entrance.

The issue attracted widespread criticism on social media, with many people sharing the organisations defaulted charity status too.

There was also a petition set up demanding the CEO of the charity, Alastair Smith, to stand down.
