一位母亲计划携带三个月大的婴儿参加Olivia Dean在Afterpay Arena的演唱会,却被告知婴儿需要购买自己的门票才能入场[1]。尽管婴儿将在演唱会期间被绑在母亲身上,场馆仍坚持这一规定[1]。
Afterpay Arena明确表示:"对于Olivia Dean的活动,所有观众必须持有有效票证才能入场,不论年龄"[1]。这位母亲在2024年9月怀孕期间已购买了三张门票,演唱会距今约两个月[1]。由于婴儿在演唱会当天将不满五个月,且母亲进行纯母乳喂养无法将其单独留在家中[1],这一门票要求对她构成了实际困难。
场馆方面允许婴儿车放在衣帽间,并允许观众携带装有尿布和湿巾的小包[1]。这位母亲对规定提出质疑,认为其反映了社会文化对哺乳期母亲和婴幼儿在公共场所参与活动的包容度不足[1]。
A mother planning to attend an Olivia Dean performance at Sydney's Afterpay Arena with her three-month-old infant has been informed that the baby must purchase a full ticket for entry, even though the child will remain secured against her body throughout the show [1]. The venue's policy states that "all patrons must hold a valid ticket for entry, regardless of age" [1]. The infant will be under five months old on the concert date, which is scheduled two months away [1].
The mother, who exclusively breastfeeds, cannot leave the baby unattended at home and had purchased three tickets for the event after becoming pregnant in September 2024 [1]. While Afterpay Arena permits strollers to be stored in coat check and allows parents to bring small bags containing diapers and wipes, it maintains its ticketing requirement for all attendees [1]. The policy raises questions about venue accommodations for nursing mothers and young infants accessing public events [1].
