A Perth Royal Show spokesperson said that organisers were working to find the source of the issue before gates opened again on Tuesday.

“There was a telecommunication issue on Monday,” he said.

“The crowd size led to the telecommunications capacity being pushed at the Showground,” he said.

“We have mitigated the situation by providing hot spots around the ground for operators and vendors. We are working on resolving the issue to return to normal by Tuesday.”

The show will remain open until October 1 and is set up at the Claremont Showground from 10AM until 9PM daily.
