Would you expect to pay for child

Would you expect to pay for 5.5 year old if pricing is

0-5 free
6-17 £25

I was charged and told under 5s are free and as 5.5 years old I have to pay!

I'd expect not to pay as they aren't six yet.

That pricing says you don't have to pay until they're 6? So he would be free if he was 5 and a half?

I don't understand why they charged you as your child is 5.

I would not expect to pay as it clearly states pricing starts at age 6

I wouldn't expect to pay as by their pricing structure payment starts at age 6.

Why did the .5 even come into it?

Q: How old is s/he?
A: 5

Surely only 5 year olds care about the difference between 5 1/2 and 5 3/4 and so on.

They said under 5s are free your child isn’t under 5

They didn’t though. They said over 5s pay and he’s not over 5. He’s 5.

I get this, but then pricing doesn't start til 6? So there's a year missing on their payment system.

YANBU, under 6s are free.

How was the pricing actually presented?

and what was it that is free for children under 5 but £25 for older children?

From that I would say 5 year olds are free

No of course not - he's still 5! If they meant under 5s then they should have said that.

I'd be contacting wherever it is to make a complaint personally and ask for a refund.

Based on whats written there, they whouldn't have to pay until they are 6. So I wouldn't expect to pay for a 5 1/2 year old.

Did they ask exact birthday?

I'd expect them to be 5 so free. They aren't 6. You don't round up ages you round them down.

The sign does not Say under 5....look at it again.

If it's a venue that clearly says 0-5 free and 6+ a certain price I would expect it to be free and I would argue with the venue that their signs show the child should be free.

If it specifically says 6-17 I would expect to pay for a 5yo, even the day before their 6thbirthday.

It its U5s free, 5+ ££ I would expect to pay for 5yo.

I would expect to have to pay after a child's 5th birthday.

If displayed exactly as you've written it I'd expect 5 year olds to be free, though I'd be surprised as that's the normal age places start charging. If they'd written:
0-5 free
5-17 £25
I'd expect to pay for a 5 year old as 5.5 is technically older than 5.

If it clearly say 6-17 £25, then this child is not 6 so should go free!

I'd probably expect to pay but would argue the toss that I shouldn't.

Free. It literally says 0-5 free!

Depends on exactly how the pricing was presented.

If it literally said 0-5 go free then obviously a 5yo should be free, but I wonder if it said under 5s are free, when I would expect a 5yo to pay.

Can you show us exactly what it said, was it as you wrote it?
