Yeah, I think we all know now, but is there like a 1% chance any form of ticket looks like this!?!?

This is basically a follow on too

Shamelessly place marking as I read the other thread too. Hope it's the one I'm thinking of museum/zoo???

The "act for wildlife" logo is wrong - not badly; but enough.

Chester zoo have their own font, not Papyrus.

Chester zoo tickets require a barcode to activate the gate.

I've never seen a monochrome Chester Zoo ticket.

The wording would say "one child", not "Childs ticket".

There's almost no chance that it is legit at all. And she must think you're an idiot.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 01/08/2016 19:49

Oh wow! So she pocketed your DC's 'entry fee' and took em to a museum?? Shock fake ticket is making me laugh though, looks terrible!! What a brass neck.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 01/08/2016 19:49

Oh and it's missing the charity number and gift aid options. Well spotted Cotswolds. It's fake. A very terrible fake.

millimat · 01/08/2016 19:50

I know its fake, but would still like to see a real one so we can see how bad her attempt has been!

minionsrule · 01/08/2016 19:50

Same party, different venue - hope you get an answer from the zoo soon (settles down).
But OP, have you decided what you will say to the CM? Will you confront her and tell the other parents - possibly Ofsted if she is registered (I think you said she was registered). If she has gone this far to get £21 off a few people it would worry me what else she may cover up

This is my e-ticket from when I went in April..

No idea what the original thread was about but that's about as real as my relationship with tom hardy.

Whatslovegottodo · 01/08/2016 19:50

Nope we went last week and it is just a small piece of white recent paper with a bar code they scan nothing as fancy as that concoction!

mummytofourbabies · 01/08/2016 19:51

What's the bets all the "likers" on the photo posted in facebook are mumsnetters Grin

BendydickCuminsnatch · 01/08/2016 19:51

Why wouldn't she just google image search an actual ticket and send you that (or print it off if she gave you a physical copy)? Strange choice to try and design a new one.

JinRamen · 01/08/2016 19:51

I can't see it on their page? Can someone link please?

Ha, just seen this on their FB page, well done MN! Had to click on the photo to see it, I imagine the Zoo themselves may take a keen interest in this.

loobylou10 · 01/08/2016 19:52

what do the other parents say about the 'visit to the Zoo'? Surely you need to ask them then ask her again. Do CM not keep records of registers for visits etc. Time to start asking direct questions I think now.

BillSykesDog · 01/08/2016 19:52

This is totally bonkers.

CattDamon · 01/08/2016 19:52

I've just got tickets for tomorrow for my DF & DS! This isn't like mine at all! So definitely not recent.

Kirriemuir · 01/08/2016 19:53

Oh my. I've been following the main thread.

SemiNormal · 01/08/2016 19:54

100% fake! My son has been quite a few times, no way in hell is that real - it's not even a good fake! 1 out of 10 for effort!

MrsMushrooms · 01/08/2016 19:54

Shocking! There's no way that's real! Nothing to add really but I want to mark my place having lurked over at the other thread as well :D

Loulou2kent · 01/08/2016 19:54

This is NOT the cm zoo follow up is it?? I cannot believe she's given you that?? Omg that's embarrassing!! Xx

TheGruffaloMother · 01/08/2016 19:54

I have no idea what the original thread is but I'm gathering that OP paid CM entry fee for her DC to go to Chester Zoo but DC says they didn't go?

DoesAnyoneReadTheseThings · 01/08/2016 19:54

The one on the other thread that was drawn with felt tips looked more real than this one Confused 😂

noitsachicken · 01/08/2016 19:54

I don't work at Chester Zoo, but used to work at another well known UK zoo, I have visted 100's of zoos the world over including Chester a couple of months ago. No way is that a real ticket.
Most zoos would have either an email
type confirmation with a barcode, or a credit card sized little ticket with a photo of an animal, which usually changes daily.
plus it would have charity number etc on there, plus a barcode.
