I'm a keen motorcylcist. A company's website offers bike hire and track fees for a discounted price of just £235 (Brands Hatch GP circuit which is admittedly slighty more expensive than the others). This is a great deal so called them today to book for me and two friends but was told it was £350 each as the £235 price is only valid until the of March. I assumed I'd missed this in the website and left it, but on looking again, neither me nor my friends could find anything at all suggesting it would be more expensive than £235.
The link to the website is ww w.Focused Events. c om (not allowed to post link apparently?!) and I've looked at the T&Cs and pretty much the rest of the entire site. Where do I stand legally? Do I have to suck it up and deal with it or are they obliged to honour the price they quote?
I understand that a vendor is not obliged to sell a consumer anything if they do not want to, but surely that makes a mockery of the misleading pricing issue since they can simply refuse to sell it to anyone at the artificially low price and had probably had no intention of doing so anyway?
Cheers,
Tom
