I think it is not possible to disable the DateParseHandling with JObject.Parse.
You can use the DeserializeObject methode from JsonConvert and disable the DateParseHandling:

string data = "{\"start_date\":\"2018-03-27T20:00:00+11:00\",\"end_date\":null,\"on_sale_date\":\"2017-11-24T08:55:00+11:00\",\"date_confirmed\":true}";
dynamic pdata = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(data, new JsonSerializerSettings()
{
    DateParseHandling = DateParseHandling.None
});
string mydate = pdata.start_date;
Console.WriteLine(mydate);
