:
Me and my friend were visiting Copenhagen for the weekend. Not used to European metros, i purchased a 2 zone ticket. I assumed this would allow me to travel two times, if I only used it one zone each way. On my way back to the airport, i presented this ticket to an inspector, and was fined 750 KRR. My friend the same. I tried to plead my case, but ultimately was unsuccessful. I offered to purchase a new ticket, as we had come to a full stop at the airport, but once again, no success. In addition to my original though process being incorrect (2 zones -> 1 each way), I was also told my ticket only lasted 1 hour. Regardless, my ticket was worthless at this point, and the inspector gave me no other option than to pay the fine. She took down my US Driver license info, and gave me the ticket. I tried to email kundehenv@dsb.dk with my explanation for what had occurred, to see if I could either get a fine reduction or something, but I have not gotten a response yet. It says on the ticket the fine will increase after 14 days, but I do not intend on paying this fine in full, as it was an honest mistake, not to mention I am a student who is without income studying abroad. Is there an additional email address that I can contact in an effort to argue this fine? In another scenario, if i simply refuse to pay this fine, what will occur?
