Hi everyone, any advice please I’m so stressed. It’s my first time travelling from Geneva and I’m visiting my friend. To be clear, I genuinely thought I purchased the correct ticket. Apparently though I purchased a ‘point to point’ first class upgrade, I thought why not as it was the same as a second class ticket, but apparently you have to pay for the ticket as well. I tried to explain to the lady but she was INCREDIBLY rude. She just said that it wasn’t her problem that I can’t read. She says I have to pay a fine of €100 and she took my driving license details. Anyway, what can I expect? I travelled for like 5 hours to get to my friends house and I didn’t account for that in my budget. Am I going to get in trouble? Can I somehow explain to someone that it was a genuine mistake?! Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/enneaverse
