Concert ticket dilemma?
Jump to: Newest in thread
So a recently had things go south with a close friend. I bought concert tickets for us, being e- tickets I have them on my email.
What happens with the tickets now we both fell out? I hive them to her, unlikely she'll use it as she has work next morning but was only gonna take a day hols next morning as we were together. Most likely she'll give them away. Do I keep them as its an artist I love as well and would desperately love seeing them.
So use it for myself or give her and 99% chance neither of us gets to see the artist? |

"Did she pay for the tickets? If yes, offer her the money or the ticket/s, if no, they're yours 💜
I paid for both tickets as her bday present, which makes it even more awkward?"
Just ask if she still wants to go, if she does, both go if not then stuff her, take someone else |

As they were a birthday gift the grown up thing would be to ask if she still wants to go with you. That’s with the caveat that the birthday has already been and gone, if it hasn’t then you don’t need to do anything at all, people don’t buy gifts for people they’re not friends with.
The likelihood is she will reject the offer of going with you |

You bought the tickets so you keep them. Also don’t overthink things. |

If I read your original message correctly you given them to her already? If so then they are hers arent they? She can do what she wants with them. The gift is given.
If you haven’t given them then I don’t think you owe anything to someone you have fallen out with. |

Only you can decide what to do as no one knows if there's been contact since you split, and everyone knows if there is contact it can be one sided.
I'd say if she's cut you off, hasn't replied or been in touch, then she's moved on so you have answer on what to do. |

Oh I just saw this update. My advice would still be to keep them. When you say “things went south” I’m assuming that means she ended things with you? And probably doesn’t want to stay in touch. In which case it’ll seem strange if you contact her and offer the tickets. So the same advice still applies, keep them. |

I think your making a case to keep them yourself, don't feel guilty if you've bought them, if she's bought them do the right thing and give them or the equivalent in coin to her, not hard to do the right and honest thing. |

not local even if it says I am |
Having recently experienced buying tickets for two and the other person bailing or not turning up or we are no longer friends, myself, I say go on your own and enjoy it! You can always sell the second one and potentially make a new friend out of it. Twickets is a great app for selling tickets or offer it in a group on social media linked to the artist.
And remember next time to only buy your own ticket and your friend can buy theirs separately because if you agree to go to something together and you are actually real friends then they will be ok with that situation. A real friend wouldn’t ditch you with a wasted ticket. |

"If they were a birthday gift, be the adult and let her use them
This
But I know her,she won't use them she'd give them away as the hassle of getting daynoff next day won't be worth it"
I'm not seeing a dilemma in that case
If you want to give her a gift get her something she will use and enjoy the concert yourself |
