Theft from a Gentile - Unpaid Ticket

Question

Can parents with four children, who paid abroad (among Gentiles) for one adult and two children's tickets (out of the four children, two are adults who should pay the adult price, and two are children), allow each child to enter if perhaps they haven't paid for them, or they paid for them as children but they are considered adults? Or is it permitted, as it is the parents' fault, and if they enter, is it considered theft on their part?

Answer

Hello 

It is forbidden to enter without payment according to the rules - this is theft from a Gentile. 

However, after the fact, according to most opinions, there is no obligation to pay for what was done.
