Price increases after booking confirmation

We booked in December 2021 a club site for 5 nights December 2022. We received a confirmation email quoting the price of £204.

My Booking showed the price confirmed originally, but at some stage has been increased in line with today's advertised prices, to £213.50.

Is that normal policy? To advertise and sell at a price and then raise the price? It doesn't seem fair to me.

I'm unhappy with the price of petrol/diseasal ..... but I have to buy it on a very regular basis πŸ™„

But you don’t have to stay on a particular club site. You have a choice in that matter.

As I said " specific reasons for visits"

You said  "We are in York Rowntree Park shortly and I can tell you there are not many there who are happy to be paying 50 squid a night but most have a very specific reason to be there so have to bite the bullet."

Your wording implies others without a specific reason for being there are also unhappy at the price. They could stay elsewhere as several members do.

Exactly you have to pay it, but this is a club site we're talking about, not something you have to have? There are plenty of other sites cheaper available.

Wedgy I can't understand that, do you have to use this club site? There are plenty about York I would have thought. 

As TDA says the club must be so happy with  customers like yourself,  they keep complaining about prices yet keep paying them.

If you're not happy with paying £50 then don't pay it.

Sorry, but that makes no sense when there’s a perfectly good P&R on the outskirts.

They're blagging to you, Wedgy, but you don’t need to make excuses for them.πŸ‘πŸ»

There is only Rowntree Park within walking distance of the City centre. 

We are climbing Mam Tor shortly so will stay at Castleton  for the same reason. 

Location etc is everything but I don't have to be "happy " about the price even though i am fortunate that I can afford the cost.

Who are "they" ?

Have you used the P&R s around York? They are OK for shopping but not for our needs. 

As I have mentioned we can pay the premium price but don't have to be " happy " about it.

It is quite illuminating(pardon the pun) that whilst CAMC are happy to pass on an increased charge for electricity, there is no option to forgo it and avoid the increase.
