    I agree with everyone else, your OH should have seen kids go free.

    The OP obviously had 4 adult tickets ! It does say that Junior tickets for 11 to 14 year olds are available on the day. So i would have thought they would have no trouble selling them there.

    Except, as I've already posted:

    *The resale or attempted resale of a purchased ticket is illegal and will render them VOID and anyone found using it or them will be refused entry.

    Illegal? Which law does it contravene?

    No idea, just pointing out what it says on their website.

    I guess they are getting muddled with ticketing touting laws

    The best way to look at it is you were happy to pay for the tickets when you bought them. If the staff member had not mentioned it you would have gone in and had a fun day, perfectly satisfied with the tickets.
    exactly this.

    whats to say the op bought 4 tickets for 4 adults now two of their geeky mates couldnt make it so are now saying we bought them in error for the kids without realising they could go free
