As I stated in an email I sent, the ticket I was sold stated the Theodosius Cistern was open until 7:00 pm, and when we arrived at 6:30 pm and tried entering the Cistern, a lady informed us there was a private event at the place and that security should not have even allow us to enter. That the place was rented for the whole day. Another person told us it had closed at 5:00 pm. Either way, I was sold tickets THAT COULD NOT BE USED!! I want a refund
