Bit of a long story, I'm doing a Toughmudder 5k tomorrow.
A colleague from my old work place originally convinced me to sign up to join her for the urban one last Autumn. She booked tickets and I sent her the money. When the date came up I couldn't make it. They don't offer a refund but no problem, apparently we can transfer our tickets to another date - which she did for tomorrow. Another colleague has also joined us.
Yesterday she forwarded me the eticket and details of the course. It turns out this time we are not on the 'Softies" urban course but a proper mud event in the country about 1.5 hours drive or 2.5 hours by public transport. none of us have cars. So I was originally planning to go by public transport, then thought I would ask my adult ds if he wanted to cheer me on, he agreed and he has a car so we were sorted.
I had to then buy him a spectator ticket £10. I talked briefly with my co-runners today and found the were planning to use public transport (2 trains and a bus minimum) so I felt I should offer them to come with me. I asked my son and he agreed.
So now to the current problem, I have had real problems with the website and cant find out how to buy parking in advance. If we pay on the day it will cost £30! it is incredibly complicated and my friends original account won't work, she just forwarded me a ticket this morning and through that I was able to buy a spectator ticket. It all feels like a lot of hassle and I cant help feeling if I had been given this info earlier on I could have figured it out better in advance.
Now I am going to be down £30 for parking and I will also give him something for petrol and I have bought his ticket which of course I would anyway.
WIBU to ask for us to split the parking three ways? I'm not tight but I'm not rich either, otherwise it will cost me near 50 quid on top of what I already paid and I didn't have any input into this situation until yesterday.
