From News.com.au PerthNow:

"HUNDREDS of Missy Higgins fans were turned away from Belvoir Amphitheatre last night because of a bizarre ban on 
blankets.

Concert-goers who had queued for up to an hour in the Swan Valley paddock were told to return rugs to their cars -
and join the end of the queue again - because picnic blankets were a "security risk".

Pregnant women were allowed to take in a cushion or a rug, but everyone else had to forfeit comforts, including fold-up 
chairs and picnic baskets with food and drinks."
