NSW Police Enforce Ticket Changes for Splendour | Music News

Much beloved Australian Music Festival Splendour in the Grass has been forced to issue a statement to ticket holders, declaring that patrons under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a ‘responsible adult’.

Their statement in full reads: Dear Splendour community,

On Friday night all of our underage ticketholders received an email from Moshtix informing them of late developments regarding Splendour’s Liquor License. In a nutshell, the message was this…

ALL PATRONS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A RESPONSIBLE ADULT AT ALL TIMES WHILST AT THE EVENT AND CAMPGROUNDS.

This is not Splendour’s decision.

These new rules have been imposed on us by NSW Police. We were only informed of this late Thursday and we are very unhappy about these major changes being forced on the festival at such a late stage. We understand the impact it will have on many of our patrons. We also don’t want you to walk away with a fine.

So we want you all to be aware that Police will be present at the event, roaming throughout the crowd checking that underage minors are with a responsible adult.

Considerable fines may apply if not compliant. Splendour will also be in breach of our liquor licence, which will have major consequences.

More information can be found in our FAQs and our Youth Policy.

The ONLY place you can purchase tickets for accompanying responsible adults is via the resale facility, where all monies go to the previous ticket holder.

To register as a responsible adult accompanying a minor, please fill out this FORM.

Best wishes,

Splendour in the Grass
