A mum told how she spent £500 on her daughter's prom only to be told there were not enough tickets. She claimed "loads" of youngsters were turned away from the annual event as a result of the shortage.
She claimed many of these were eligible to attend because they had appropriate attendance and behaviour levels. However she said she did manage to get a ticket for her daughter after spending all day emailing the school, reports Devon Live.
The mum, who asked to remain anonymous, said her daughter had registered an interest to attend the St Peter's Church of England School prom set to take place on Friday. She had gone ahead and bought a dress along with paying for beauty treatments for the key event her youngster was dealt the blow of being turned away.
