So a group of friends are going to a show. I organised it and said I don't mind paying for the tickets (so we can be together) as long as payment was in my bank prior to booking.
Anyway there is 6 of us going and I said I'd swallow the booking fee etc so it came to £35 per ticket.
4 have paid and I booked the tickets (6) as the 5th (I'll call her Z) said she had paid.) Didn't have any reason not to doubt (yes i did check online banking and she said it could take up to 2 hours to go in)
Booked tickets and still no money from Z. I message her privately (we have a group Whatsapp) and said it's still not there. She said she will call the bank.
The next day I asked again and she said it didn't go through so she will put £30 in now. I said okay and it's £35!
Still no money by lunchtime. That evening she said she had been super busy and will do it in the am and said £33 and I corrected her agin at £35!
Next day she sends me a photo which was a note to her oh saying
(Oh name)
Please can you put £34.99 in Hardys account and then my bank details.
Still NOTHING! I've now wrote in the group chat if anyone knows of someone else that would like to come let me know ASAP
I know it's only 1p but how many times did I have to correct her in saying it's £35!
Ive swallowed the booking fee etc which was nearly £5 as we are having the tickets posted as some are coming from work.
She has now wrote back in the group that's it's unfair she can't go! Someone else (Y) asked why not and Z had the cheek to say I'd given her the wrong bank details so couldn't pay!
I replied saying no Z that's not true. I've given you a a week from when I said about payments before the ticket and you keep saying you will do it but not with the correct amount. Z has said I'm being unreasonable. The rest of the group haven't commented in the chat since but have privately messaged asking why Z is being a twat!
So aibu to try and find someone else or is Z
