The organisers of Byron Bay's 2022 Splendour in the Grass music festival were told all ticket holders under the age of 18 would have to be accompanied by an adult almost a month ago, despite telling the public they were only informed last week.

The festival did not directly inform all ticket holders of the rule, which was not included in the original terms and conditions, until the day the deadline for reselling tickets expired.
