to do anything about it. This cost me about £18 in single fares to

Er, why not purchase another Travelcard if that was cheaper?

A combination of an offer price that was only available online, and
I didn't have time to queue for half an hour for the ticket office,
so it was a case of using Oyster PAYG and then buying an NR single
from a machine to get me home. I don't think the NR machines at
Victoria would sell a Brighton to Z1-6 travelcard anyway.

Why couldn't you have gone back to the barrier and got the staff to return
the ticket that had been taken in error? I've seen it done before now.
