Pop Star Pink Denied Entry at Manly Skiff Club Over ID Issue: Club Responds with Apology and Invitation

Sydney‘s iconic Manly Skiff Sailing Club found itself in the spotlight after an unexpected incident involving international pop sensation Pink. The Grammy-winning artist, currently in Australia for her Summer Carnival Tour, was reportedly denied entry to the harborside venue due to an identification mishap.

Locals at the Manly Skiff Sailing Club were abuzz as news spread that Pink and her entourage were turned away on Monday night. The club’s strict ID policy, in accordance with the regulations under the Registered Clubs Act 1976, led to a misunderstanding that resulted in the singer’s exclusion.

Responding to the incident, Matt Hazell, the Secretary Manager of the Manly Skiff Sailing Club, clarified the sequence of events. He emphasized that Pink was not forcibly removed but rather chose to leave after encountering challenges with the sign-in process.

In a statement released to media outlets, Hazell expressed regret over the incident, acknowledging the missed opportunity to showcase the club’s renowned hospitality to the international superstar. Despite the error in judgment, the club extended heartfelt apologies to Pink, her family, and associates for any inconvenience caused.

While the club’s adherence to stringent entry protocols is non-negotiable, Hazell underscored that the situation was a result of a miscommunication. He noted that the Manly Skiff Sailing Club aspires to rectify the misstep and welcome Pink back cordially in the future.

Going beyond mere regret, the club issued a special invitation to Pink, offering her an exclusive experience on one of their skiffs. Hazell expressed enthusiasm at the prospect of showing Pink the beauty of Sydney Harbour while making amends for the unfortunate incident.
