Feel like a complete idiot, please make me feel better

I booked theatre tickets with my sister in August 2023 for January 2025.
I planned to take a holiday in January so booked the annual leave and then my colleague asked me if she could have that week so I moved it a week and then booked my holiday.
I just realised that I'm on holiday when we are supposed to be going to the theatre. The theatre is the Saturday night and my flight back isn't until Tuesday lunchtime.
My sister is going to be so angry with me and I feel like a complete idiot.

She'll be really pissed off.

She sounds delightful.

I hope we can change the date of the tickets. I've just been on the website and it looks like they do let you apply. I feel sick.

That's a bit of an over the top reaction 😳 surely your sister will understand you just made a mistake? If you can't change the tickets, you could give them to your sister and ask her if she wants to take a friend?

Ring the theatre and change the tickets.

I assume the options are:
-change the theatre date if possible
-change the holiday date if possible
-she goes with a friend or family member and you both book someone else together when you are both free?

Can't you change the theatre tickets. You have plenty of time. Have you spoken to the booking office?

I did similar with Hamilton tickets years ago. It’s annoying but these things happen - is there anyone else that she could
go with?
