Refused family ticket due to not being a "family"
When visiting St. Petersburg, we bought tickets for a hop on and hop off bus. It was me, my mum and my auntie visiting. It was the official City Sightseeing company.
There was a family ticket, offering a small discount for 2 adults and one child. When said we wanted a family ticket, they said we can't have it as there are a man and a woman on the picture, even though we were all family.
When asked, what if we were married to each other, the lady said same-sex marriages aren't accepted in Russia.
What can be done in such a situation and is this legal?
Best Answer
Yes it's legal. Their family is defined as parents of a child, I imagine you're not 12 or under, and your aunt is not your father.
