To take more adults than kids to a 'movie for juniors'?

Today I booked tickets to cineworld to see Paddington as a 'movie for juniors'. It will be myself, my dh, our 18yr old and our 11 yr old. So I paid for 3 x adult tickets and 1 x child ticket. All priced at £2.50 each.

I have since had an email from cineworld reminding us it's a movie for juniors showing and that every adult should be accompanying a child. It doesn't say that we can't go but the wording is a bit confusing. Surely there's regularly going to be two parents taking just one child etc. We technically are all being accompanied by a child, just not a child each!

Aibu to go with 3 adults and one child? Or should I cancel?

This is the wording on the email...

Please be aware that all customers aged 16 or over must be accompanying a child to this screening. Children under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

As you say @Ablondiebutagoody it doesn't state 1:1.

We are all accompanying a child and we're sitting together. Just hope we don't have a wasted journey.

I would just go. The T&C's (and the email by the sound of it) don't state that it has to be a 1:1 ratio.
