That is the most duh thing I have heard of late. wow….who thought up that rule?

That is ridiculous that bub needed to be charged also.

This is a stupid idea. I took my son to see Jimmy Barnes when he was 2 and there was no extra charge for him. He was given headphones to wear to protect his hearing. It’s not like her son was going to be taking up a seat.

That’s ridiculous. I thought babies (under a certain age) were free in most things. I would also wonder how much fun you could have at a concert with a 4 month old baby, but anyway, cue the outrage. Was there nobody that could look after her baby while she attended the concert? Nobody?

Seriously? She probably wouldn’t have even known she was pregnant when the tickets went on sale(if they went on sale early enough last year). This is just extortion and bureaucracy gone mad! Sure I get that they want to know how many people are there so offer her the ability to buy a ticket at $0. The child is on her knee and it’s not like it’s Metallica or something, and she has ear muffs. How many opportunities is she going to have to see Ed Sheeran?

Well I guess she should have checked before purchasing the ticket. Although it does sound silly.

Always wise not to just assume babies go for free, but to find out prior the event. She didn’t have her son yet when she purchased her tickets, but she must have known she was pregnant and would have a child at the time of the event.

Rules are rules. It was clearly stated everywhere that every person must have a ticket and that included infants. This is why people need to Read the fine print and not Judy by pass it.

I guess rules are rules if they are using the tickets to do head counts for safety reasons. A bit disappointing for her but, get used to it mum – bub gets prioritised over most things now.

Why there’s no free tickets for babies makes sense to me. Who would want to take a 4 month old to a concert anyway? And the baby can’t be bottle fed…….if she fed bub and then headed out, surely she could be home before the next feed? Even if she had to miss sone of the concert, at least she saw some of it too

That’s a fairly good reason for the rule… But surely there’s a compromise too.

This is quite problematic indeed if the child is exclusively breastfed.
Something similar happened in the past. I remember talking about it.
We don’t make the rules so, if everybody needs a ticket, or she buys the ticket spending a lot more money than she spent for herself, or she will have to send someone else to the concert.
