Asking a friend for her extra nativity play tickets

12 replies

My friend and I have our DDs in the same class. We are permitted 4 tickets per child for the nativity play. My friend plans to go only with her DH to the play (as their parents live far away). All four of my dd's grandparents live close enough to come but i have rationed them out to one per set of grandparents to meet the 4 ticket criteria. I mentioned ot my friend a week or two ago that was she using all of her tickets and could she ask for 4 so all my dd's gradnparents could go. She said yes. The play is this week and she hasnt said anyhting about this (tickets were issued on friday). Should i mentoin it again- my mum would SO love to come and helps us out loads or does it appear too grasping and should i leave it well alone? i value the friendship and dont want to upset her. but she might have just forgotten and 2 grandparents could be watching it. WWYD? All tickets are free, by the way.

I'd give her a ring

Surely if she is you friend, you could just ask her if she got you the extra tickets?

Just text and ask. Let us know how you got on. She may have just forgotten.

i have sent a text. i am blushing though i am so embarrassed. I think if she forgot she will feel so awkward- maybe that was what was making me hesitate....

so long as - if she has forgotten, you are gracious about it, it won't be a problem.

Just ask her - this is really not an awkward situation.

She will say 'oh yeah, those things, completely slipped my mind, here you go'.

I so want to wiggle my finger and say "see". But I won't . I am glad that it all worked out and all grandparents can watch the play
