An important message just in for Sydney Good Things Festival ticket holders, the Sydney Festival is no longer able to cater for their under 18 audience.

In a press release just out the festival have said;

“Good Things Festival believes that live music and festivals are for everyone but unfortunately the NSW state government does not share the same view. 
Even though it is not against the law, NSW police have imposed multiple impediments, including excessive police presence and exorbitant fees, making it impossible for us to allow anyone under 18 to attend the event”.

The Good Things Festival Promoter & General Manager Chris O’Brien says, “We have been working around the clock for months to try and ensure the event goes ahead as planned, but we have seen unprecedented opposition to the event from the police and the government. The experience for all customers was going to be impacted. We have had to make the very difficult decision to turn the event to over 18’s only to avoid Under 18’s been forced to watch bands behind a 1.8m high chain wire fence.”

All ticket holders under the age of 18 will be contacted and refunds issued. 

Melbourne and Brisbane events are not affected by this and are scheduled to run as normal.
