I managed to get deep in the £100 re buy tournament on Tuesday, and after being told the money bubble had burst (top 12 got paid), I shoved my short stack in.
My pocket threes lost the race against my opponent's AK...and I was out.
Joe who was running the tournament told me to get my slip from Vash, and so I did. I was really down after let another deep run, that I cashed out my £250 prize money and went straight home.
I got a text message the following day from Steve saying that I had actually finished 13th not 12th, and so I had to give the money back!
Now I really don't care about the £250 that much, it is really the principal.
It was not my fault!
Joe who was running the tournament told me that we were down to the last 12 players, and he was the one who told me to get a prize money slip once I was knocked out.
They were also not keeping the clock / tournament info updated, so I could only go on what Joe was telling me.
So why should I give the money back? It was their mistake.
Imagine if it was a tourist who cashed incorrectly, they would never get that money back. So how come I should get punished for being a regular?

I agree with you completely. I said EXACTLY the same thing to a couple of people today - that if it was a random punter who had come along for one night they would probably let it slide and that they'd only take that line with the regulars.
I actually think it's really bad form that they've asked you for the money back.
