About this booking fiasco

Keeping details a bit vague here but basically:

Booked an event for DH and I.
I had to rearrange the date of the event due to a family member being critically ill.
Explained the situation over email and via phone call to the company and they said it was fine to rebook, the cancelled the booking and advised me to call back at my convenience, they would rebook for me no problem.

It has now come to rebooking the event and they company are saying that DH's membership has now run out and we must pay X amount in order to do the event (even though we have already paid for the event with the initial booking). The initial booking was also after the cessation of DH's membership but it was booked by them no problem and no mention from them of it being an issue. I have all this on email.

I have explained the situation and sent screenshots of the previous emails stating that everything was ok to be done at a later date, no mention of the booking not being valid after the membership end date.

They are saying it is clear in their Ts and Cs - which yes, it is there, however, should they not have mentioned this before telling me it was ok to move the booking?

Don't know if I'm being U here? I suppose it is my problem for not abiding to the Ts and Cs but the company didn't either because they booked the initial date which was after the membership had ended.

Thoughts?

Ah that’s a bit shit op

It sounds like they missed it on the initial booking but have picked up on it now. There’s always a chance that had the original booking gone through, they would have eventually picked up on the lapsed membership before you were able to attend, and contacted you. Regardless, you couldn’t go, it would be nice of them to honour their original offer under the circumstances, but it sounds like it’s at their discretion.

I hope your family member is better now Flowers

I did ask them if they would have turned us away had we made it to the initial booking, after making the 2.5 hour journey to get there, they didn't really give an answer.

Sadly family member is still critical and isn't forecast to get better Sad thank you for the Thanks
