Default 2for1 Ticket Rip-off

ZSL stated that they needed TWO *paper* tickets from 'outside' London
to London - although they couldn't define the term 'outside' nor the
exact destination London station required.


The terms and conditions state that all you need are two paper tickets
with the National Rail symbol printed on them, valid for the date of
admission to the attraction, which it appears you had.


Two such paper tickets issued to the same traveller seems to me to be
outside the spirit of the rules.

Given that we are discussing a "two for the price of one" offer, I
should think that is unlikely to arise. But if it did, how would the
attraction concerned know who each ticket was issued to?

It arises in the OP's case.

But if it did, how would the attraction concerned know who each ticket
was issued to?


If they are offered *more* than just the two tickets (which is once
again the OP's situation), they may smell a rat.

Or then again, perhaps this particular zoo is as disinterested in rats
as it is in oysters...
