school charging for sports day

[Babytinx11]

Ok so aibu to be ever so slightly annoyed that ds (4 years old) came out of school today with a letter informing me that I have to pay to attend his sports day I don't know any other school in my area at least that charges admittance for a sports day held on the school yard! I am every so slightly ok allot annoyed by this just wondering if I am being unfair

Schools should not charge for viewing sports day.

They should have asked for a voluntary contribution. School budgets are in such dire straits now they need everything they can get but an admission fee sounds compulsory which seems wrong to me.

It's not the amount of money that bothers me we have plenty of support so we can find money just about when school asks it's just the fact it was put as an admission fee for a sports day maybe I am being unreasonable but the wording and the fact that it's a sports day that bothers me
