Concert promoter Ticketmaster is offering refunds for Bill Cosby’s shows this weekend in Denver.<\/p>\n
More than 3,000 tickets have been sold to Saturday’s performances, according to local media.<\/p>\n
Organisers say they have a “moral obligation” for the shows to go on, amid planned protests.<\/p>\n
Cosby has been accused by more than 15 women of sexual assaults dating back to the 1970s and ’80s, leading to the cancellation of several planned shows.<\/p>\n
The 77-year-old, who has not been charged, has denied claims, calling them “fantastical” and “uncorroborated”.<\/p>\n
Another of his shows – a 6 February date at the Hanover Theatre in Worcester, Massachusetts – has been cancelled after the promoters “came to an agreement” with his agent.<\/p>\n
More than 1,000 tickets were sold for the performance at the venue, which seats an audience of 2,300.<\/p>\n
Protests planned<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Organisers AEG Live said it understood concerns some people had about the shows taking place, but said the company had a “moral obligation” to allow the comedian to perform.<\/p>\n “If the allegations turn out to be true, I’m going to be appalled and disgusted,” AEG President Chuck Morris told Denver station KUSA-TV.<\/p>\n “But at this point, I feel like I have an obligation to the people that want to see the show and an artist that has not been charged or convicted.”<\/p>\n
