Posted by Mears publicity dept obviously. You might have thought with all that hard earned dosh they have fleeced, they might at least have employed someone with a comprehension of the english language and the ability to spell...:rotfl:

Hopefully now it's been publicised about how bad it is, people won't go.

I haven't been but it looks a complete rip-off.

Apparently all the weekends between now and Christmas were sold out before the "event" opened anyway, so they'll have made their money (especially if people can't get it back).

Bunch of !!!!!! out to scam the villiagers!! whatever next lol ?

Hehe me too, especially as I live nearby. I tried getting some tickets off ebay but the sellers withdrew the auction instead of accepting my (admittedly very low!) offer - they clearly heard the news after all and unfortunately for my curiousity were too honest to continue to sell them! :rotfl:

I have tickets for 22nd Dec for my son's Birthday as a special treat, £100 is a lot of money to see santa in a shed!!! last year we went to london to see santa and stayed over for less!!!! I expect to get what was sold on the website (which is still down!!! or closed!!) and by all acounts that is not what you get when there .

By the way you dont have to register to print the letters off the website!!

I can't believe this is still running - but apparently Trading Standards do not have the power to close it....?

So, I'm now talking to several Councillors for the area and have put a call in to the local MP, and would like to ask if there's anyone out there who has any experience or knowledge of how to set up a petition (in this instance, to get this scam shut down) which I will willingly take to the Houses of Parliament if I have to.

Does anyone think this is a good way forward?

There is a facility for comments on the page in the link.

I haven't been, and don't plan to, but my mother lives fairly near and had mentioned it to me. There ends my interest!

I do agree all possible action should be taken to close it but I don't know where that leaves people who are already out of pocket.

What a sad shambles.
