Sorry but this whole Validation issue has caused so much confusion and concern that tickets will not be valid for the day - I hope this is high on the 'to do' list to clear up for next year!
It's likely this has been answered before, but with so many threads I'm sorry if I haven't seen it!
You say you have to pay Validation on every order, but is that just Pass or Photo Shoot orders? I have paid for the extra Validation for my MJF Diamond Pass, but do I also have to pay an additional Validation Charge on my order for the Weekend Entry Pass as well?
