We went to an event at Tofte Manor
We went to an event at Tofte Manor - beautiful location and great gig by the Kooks. However after sitting in traffic for over 3 hours to get there - we were charged £10 extra each for arriving at 7:04pm - because our tickets said arrive before 6pm. We explained we’d been held up in traffic and were told “everyone uses this excuse.” We explained again it was not an excuse, we had left home and travelled round the M25, getting stuck in traffic. The staff member was rude, expressing that it was £10 extra pp and we had to pay it. She then went on to explain that “actually she should be charging us £20, as we were technically 2 hours late for our tickets” as if she was doing us a favour by charging us this fee. We tried to ask how less time in the venue meant a more expensive ticket price and she just completely ignored us, telling us again we had to pay. Incredibly rude, no real explanation and no understanding. We also tried to make contact with Tofte Manor, and Labrynth events on social media and by phone on the way to explain the traffic situation and got no response. Absolutely ridiculous and ruined a really good gig.
