By Ethan SillsOrganisers have apologised for traffic delays and mud that plagued this weekend's Splore music festival in Auckland. Promoters took to Facebook to say sorry after festival-goers complained of four hour traffic jams to get into the festival on Friday night, and more as they were leaving on Sunday. The apology came after festival-goers waited in traffic for hours to get into the festival on Friday, only to show up and find fields replaced by pools of mud. NZME reporter Gracie Taylor was a first time Splore-goer and spent four hours sitting in traffic. She managed to avoid the traffic crisis that engulfed the area yesterday when an accident in Clevedon caused major delays for those trying to leave.
