How to ask for this money?

I hate this. I asked my two closest friends if they wanted to go to an event later in the year. Both said yes and the tickets were selling fast so I said I would get the tickets so we were all sitting together. We do this quite a lot. This was 7 weeks ago and one of them transferred the money within the week but I'm still waiting for the other money.

She hasn't forgotten as she says every time that I see her that she needs to transfer the money (and I say 'fab, I'm skint so that would be great'), but hasn't. I hate asking as it sounds like I'm hassling her for it and she's got so much shit going on just now. But it's £150 and I need the money.

How do I ask politely?

Fingers crossed she pays up, @WilburIsSomePig!

“Hey love, please can you transfer that cash for the concert today? I really need it for the weekend! Thank!”

I agree you shouldn’t have offered to sell it.

I sold DD’s Reading ticket as she was unable to go. Even using Ticket Hub was a hassle and she lost money with the fees.

I have a friend who is notorious for this and she does the ignoring of messages too. And she’s rich. Such a dick move. We don’t invite her to things any more and she does sad face emojis on Instagram or face book.

I'm not worried about selling it on, my sister has already said she'd take it if I don't get the money from my friend. I hate this, she's made me feel awkward for asking for money when she's the one who owes it to me. I would never do that.

Have you had a reply?

I doubt she has the money , classic dodging tactics . Just sell it on !

Cheeky cow

If she hasn't paid by now i would sell the ticket to your sister.And put that in the whatsap message.

WilburIsSomePig · 25/08/2018 15:34

She's paid. Responded with a 'Oops! Sorry, I didn't realise I hadn't paid!'. Utter bollocks, but she's paid now and I've learned a lesson never to do that again!

I'd be so tempted to reply "At last! Thanks - it was getting embarrassing the number of times I had to remind you."
