Work at a school where have an event coming up that is ticketed due to health and safety. Despite there being limited tickets available, there were 2 tickets per family offered.
We've had a few parents asking for tickets but we've none left, some only wanted 1 ticket as single families/only 1 person available due to work etc. It seems a bit unfair that some kids have 2 people from their family coming to see them, others will have 0.
Now, obviously, there was never going to be enough tickets for every child to have someone there... however, would it not have been fairer to limit the tickets to 1 per family, as then there would have been more tickets available for the families who have missed out?
We just sold 2 tickets to one family this morning, then had a single dad come in an hour later asking for 1 ticket and had to say no.
On the other hand... Some guardians might need 2 tickets as need a carer to come with them to attend ? In which case it would also seem unfair to limit it to 1 ticket.
I suppose 1 ticket per child, unless there's a need for a carer to attend which would be a special circumstance for 2 tickets? Idk, is that intrusive? Probably
I guess we'd never get it right
YANBU - 1 ticket per family is fairer as more
families get a chance to have someone attend
YABU - 2 is fine
