Only 2 tickets available for upcoming Champions League games. Both sons are into football but hardly ever get to go to the game. The plan was for DH to go each time and alternate which son he took. Problem: The first match is a BIG one and both boys would give their right arm to attend.
It is Ds1’s “turn” to attend a match. They all rarely go as can’t get tickets. So he hasn’t been in many months and is excited. But DS2 hasn’t been to as many games in his life as DS1 has and he also hasn’t been for many months either. Plus one of his heroes will be playing. I can see why they both want to go to it and both have good reasons.
DH has suggested he gives up his ticket so they can both go, and he would take them to the turnstiles and pick them up after the game. I have said a shocked “no way! It is an evening game, with a massive foreign side, there could be trouble at the ground and no-one will be there to look after them, you don’t know who they’ll be sitting next to, and they are CHILDREN.”
DH said that he and his brothers used to go in in their own as kids but that was in the days before the Premier League and Sky andloads more families and kids went particularly on a Saturday afternoon as it was cheap (er)
Am I doing the right thing saying no to this? Ds2 is so disappointed.
