July 8, 201510 yr comment_212685 LOL yes that's what the website says, anybody ordering school trip tickets from there deserves to pay that price. http://www.chessington.com/plan/chessington-school-visits.aspx?tabnum=1 Click on Bookings, we went 19th May, 105 kids, I can assure you there is no way our school paid £8 a kid. The tickets I handed out (because the 'teacher' had to hand them to the kids, who then handed them to the man on the gate with a box ) had £7 face value, mine was marked as complimentary teacher at £0. I know this because of a long conversation I had with the head the day before, there were some issues and because me and sonny have MAP's I said we would use these to enter if it made things easier (they hadn't ordered enough tickets) as for the sake of a fiver (that they'd charged) I didn't want any kids missing out when we could solve the problem easily, it wasn't needed but she said to me it doesn't matter as it's not a fiver we pay and if they had to pay full whack they would as there was enough left over to cover it and the school just would buy less playground equipment that year.
July 8, 201510 yr comment_212687 LOL I'm as thick as shyte, it was the 15th not 19th, so a premium trip day too at £12pp officially. She wouldn't tell me what they actually paid, bu she had an uncomfortable look when I asked was it £3. You're school ripped you off Zach, but don't feel bad, they all do it my son's secondary just sent a letter home with my niece saying the New York trip in 2016 (3 days) will cost £1800 per child, no way I'm paying that when the time comes.
