To think this is cheeky.

Just went to book Chessington World of adventures (for Father Christmas) after debating about it all afternoon. The prices this morning was £30 per person and now its £35!

Well I won't be booking it now.

Fuck off you twat! I have money, that isn't the issue.
So if it's not the money, what's your issue?

@MummmyDayCareNameChangeAGAIN

Or greed?

Behave! They've probably been shut for 80% of this year. Pay the extra fiver or don't! ...but don't whine about someone trying their hardest to save a business.

Fuck off you twat! I have money, that isn't the issue.

Spend the money on anger management

Ryanair are masters at this - prices can fluctuate within an hour. Perhaps the sudden price change is due to a surge of interest for your date - is it all down to algorithms?
(I've no idea how they work though)

fuck off you twat has given me a proper laugh, sorry OP you gots to calm down!

@Justmuddlingalong

What about a go fund me page, is that an option?

Or Daily Mail sad face? 😞😜 Sorry OP, I do get where you are coming from

I vote daily mail sad face For the OP to get some free tickets😂

It’s supply and demand. They are a business.

Its just business 🤷🏽‍♀️

For every 1 person that doesn't want to pay an extra £5pp there will be 10 that will, business's have to make their money, especially this year.

Could say they're greedy, could say your cheap.. But its just business!

Usually prices would change over night, not in the middle of the afternoon.

Not anymore, sadly. They’ll change when enough slots are booked; automatically. It helps them to maximise income from the slots, and incentives customers to buy earlier.

It does suck in your situation, though.

All the prices changed from £30 to £35 because other people bought the £30 tickets. There will of course be other people looking for the same day as you, including your friend who may have bought the last few £30 which pushed the price up for you.

£30-£35 to see Father Christmas? Crazy prices. Is he handing out gold bells or something for that price?

Prices absolutely fluctuate during the day, not just overnight. Generally based on demand, the quota of cheaper tickets being sold etc. All automated.
It’s a business, it’s aim is to make money and it’s doing it against a particularly harsh backdrop this year. Their choice to charge what they like when they like, yours to buy or not.
