A Pink fan has spoken out after being told to pay $180 for a ticket to bring their newborn baby along to a concert.
Concert tickets are notoriously expensive – but, if you get to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing your favorite artist live, they can be worth it.
However, there are sometimes added and unforeseen costs that make concert-going even less affordable.
Such was the experience of one Sydney-based fan of the singer Pink.
They were asked to fork out a whopping $180 to bring along their newborn baby to a concert – and it has left the internet feeling scandalized.
People have been left outraged by the news, and have taken to social media to share their displeasure.
One pens: “What’s next? They will start charging pregnant woman for their unborn infants?”
A second adds: “Blatant money grab. Gross.”
However, some others have pointed out that a concert may not be the ideal location for a newborn baby’s delicate ears.
A commenter writes: “I’d charge more for the newborn so that it includes proper ear protection. Crazy to think it’s a good idea to take an infant to a crowded concert…”
While another fan points out that this policy isn’t unique to Pink, explaining: “That’s a general rule for a lot of Aussie venues now. It’s not just Pink. I worked on Robbie Williams tickets and we were advised the same. All ages had to have their own ticket or no entry.”
The Grammy-winning singer, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore Hart, has sold over 135 million records worldwide and is one of the world’s bestselling artists.
The ‘So What’ singer has a legion of loyal fans, and seeing her live is an important rite of passage for Pink lovers.
However, tickets don’t come cheap.
Pink was traveling across the globe on her Summer Carnival tour this year, which started in Australia and then moved across the world.
But one controversial concert saw the ‘Just Like A Pill’ singer entertaining crowds at the Accor Stadium in Sydney’s Olympic Park.
However, one couple ran into some unexpected trouble after asking if they could bring along their newborn baby to the show…
The couple had purchased their tickets back in early 2023, but since then, they’d welcomed a new addition to the family.
