Booked some higher priced tickets (these were the only ones available as I booked late) to see a crooner at the local theatre yesterday and due to being late from work got there 5 minutes before the start.
The usher took us to our seats and found someone else in them. "Oh we thought they were spare they said", then complained that the show was about to start and it would be quicker if we moved to their seats!!!!! No apologies. Their tickets were for seats a good £30 cheaper each.
I also regularly find people in my reserved seats on trains (usually the starting station such as Euston or Kings Cross). It's usually accompanied by "sorry I didn't see the sign" or some other excuse and occasionally point blank refusal to move which on a packed train can be a right pain in the a*** and I have had to call the guard on occasion, to shift people.
What is it with people that they feel an entitlement to sit where they like!?
