The 49-year-old revealed that the disappointing event took place at the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester and the teenager was reportedly in tears.
According to Sue, mother of 22, Tillie and her friends were wrongly sent to a different queue, missing out on the exclusive VIP experience they had spent so much money on.
In an angry Instagram story, the parent said: “I picked up a very upset Tillie from Co-Op Live last night.
“We paid for VIP lounge access tickets with 3pm entry. The girls were put in the WRONG line even after asking multiple people where they should be.”
This unfortunate mistake deprived the group of friends of their VIP treatment, as Sue continued: “When they were allowed in at 6pm, the lounge was already closed and they were not in the spot we had paid for.”
If reported by The MirrorSue then asked her 535,000 fans on Instagram for advice.
“As you can imagine, we are not happy.
“Does anyone know how we can contact them? What a poorly organized arena.”
The clan’s mother expressed her disappointment with the Co-Op Live Arena by uploading a screenshot of the tickets and tagging the venue’s official account, saying: “This is what we paid for. This is what we didn’t get.”
This came after the parents of the large family, Sue and Noel Radford, were shamed for feeding their children ‘greasy’ food during their fun holiday in Florida.
After visiting the food hall, Britain’s largest family chose their favourites, ranging from tanghulu (candied fruit) to succulent popcorn chicken.
While Tillie and Oscar enjoyed a corn dog, others enjoyed fries and a delicious chocolate cake purchased from a vending machine.
Meanwhile, a sun-drenched Sue attempted to make a crispy crepe with a custard and fresh berry filling, a few of which were stolen by the little ones.
How does the Radford family of 22 survive?
As Britain’s largest family, it’s no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford have hefty bills.
Together they have no less than 22 children and seven dogs, which makes some people wonder how they manage their money.
The Radfords support themselves with proceeds from Noel’s bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home.
On their websiteit says: “Since 1999 we have had our own beautiful bakery, which provides for (and feeds) our large and growing family, as well as the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.”
The family expanded their business to process online orders in the UK.
The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm and a number of their children helping out.
The older children, who work at least part-time, do not travel for free, but have to pay a small amount of rent to their parents.
“We seniors do pay a little bit of board and lodging. Granted, it’s not much, but I’m also trying to save for my own house at the moment,” their daughter Chloe said in a video on the YouTube channel.
Sue added: “We’ve always said that if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we’d rather you save that money and stay home for a bit longer.
“I also believe that they should pay board if they earn money. Our parents always raised us with the idea that we had to pay board.”
Noel and Sue are known for not relying on benefits to support their prolific brood, and for living off their pie shop.
They also indicated that they make money from brand partnerships on social media.
The Radford family stars in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting, which has been running for four seasons.
Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue were paid less than £10,000 per show.
He told the Daily Mail: “The average fee per episode will be in the thousands, rather than the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with these types of TV shows.
“If they continue to request a fourth or fifth season, then they can ask for a higher fee.”
He estimates the Radfords earn £5,000 per episode.
Father Noel, 53, also opted for a sweet crepe with ice cream and strawberries.
Despite stuffing their children with delicious food, the parents of 22 children both came under fire as they were targeted by trolls.
Some YouTube viewers had trouble with the nutritional value of the food consumed. One wrote: “A lot of money for junk.”
Another agreed, describing the meals as “fattening.”
“I bet the kids will be jumping up the walls?” someone else wondered, referring to the high sugar content in the dishes.
