Then when we confirmed we were at the right event she also just presumed we must in the wrong line as this was the VIP line.

We were clocked as the 'poor' very quickly XD

Fun Queen cover band is up though

She tried to say it was because we were wearing colour.

WOW

WOW

wowwww

They just said boo not enough on an auction item someone bid 65,000 on (to be fair, it was a private yacht for 10 days vauled at like... I think it was 200k)

And some good food.

I should also stress this was the venue staff that tried to tell us we weren't VIP. It was NOT the charity staff

I'm trying to decide if that's a moment for using, "Do you know who I am?" And after they say they dont, you say, "Well, shit. I was hoping somebody could tell me."

Lol!!

Well, we're only VIP because my work is a major sponsor for the charity

CHarity staff are generally A+ people. Not shocked it was the venue staff.

^^Yep.

WHELP

Still might be good feedback to the charity to raise with the venue, how they made their guest feel uncomfortable

Yup. I will. The woman was very apologetic afterwards - heck, it really might have been that Nu and I were dressed in colours for the puddle skipping event that was happening on the other side of the building

But if she really thought that the answer wasn't to go:

Hi, your event is over there.

It's:

Hi, this is the VIP entrance for the Variety Golden Gala. Do you have tickets?

I have no idea what the puddle skipping event was. Maybe even richer people were going to that and she thought we were super rich. (Hahah. Doubtful) It could legitimately not been a class thing.

But it certainly could come off that way

I also think she was pretty new. As she was having trouble with her ticket scanner as well

Like - user knowing how to use it trouble. Not machine malfunction

Actually, I looked up the Puddle Jumper event that was also happening in the centre last night. It is also a fancy thing with expensive tickets.

yup, all it takes is a slight rewording to change the outcome of it, asking vs presuming

also huh

I don't know anything about the puddle thing, but if their theme was green I will say I was wearing a green jacket

yeah, jeez. Just politely ask to see tickets

you never know, maybe you're super rich people and slumming it

Considering the cost of the tickets were over a hundred dollars for both events - it may not have been a class thing in the end.

But it's still funny to us and it's giving us a giggle

at least you can laugh about it!

As their promo photo has a lot of green

Where ours was very gold.
