Mortified mum left in tears after family thrown out of pantomime by security

A humiliated mum was left in tears after she and her family were rudely booted out of a Mother Goose panto performance by security guards. John Goddard, 35 said he had purchased a £50 voucher for his wife on Valentine's Day last year to put towards theatre tickets and the parents decided to use it to go see the family-friendly show.

John figured the panto would be a good idea as he and his wife had a six-week-old baby and thought they could bring him after checking the website's terms and conditions. However, after they sat down they were abruptly asked to leave just ten minutes before the performance was due to start on March 1 at Liverpool Empire, Wales Online reports.

The family refused to move because they had double checked online that their son could attend and security were called in to drag the 'mortified' parents out of the show and into the foyer. The furious couple claim they got through the initial ticket check and passed 'multiple' members of staff without being approached.
