Feel so sorry for friend

Friends other half is a grade A cock womble. I think he's the only person I actually despise.

We're meant to be going to a gig tonight, hard to get tickets for and very expensive on StubHub etc. I was lucky and got presale tickets and transferred her her ticket earlier this week and he's accessed her account and sold her standing ticket at a huge mark up and told her to buy seated ☹️

I'm just posting because I need to vent somewhere and she's gutted so don't want to vent to her. She's been a life long fan and there is a big group of us all going together but we're all standing obviously.

Who does shit like this?

That's terrible!

Why is she with him?

LizzyEm · 09/08/2025 10:30

Can you contact whoever and say the ticket was stolen, tell them what's happened and see if they can issue her a new one?

I have no idea who he's sold it to.

I have no idea why she's with him. I've offered to sell mine and we can get seated together but I think she switched her phone off.

Anything nice in her life he tramples on. I wanted to go round this morning when I read her message but my husband wont let me because of how awful this guy is. I'm just so fucking gutted for her and hate that this is her life. She needs to leave him but she's need to leave for a long time.

When I say my husband wont let me, he's just strongly encouraging me not to by the way. He isn't a control freak like this guy

What an absolute cunt. If you can prove you bought it could you threaten him with small claims court. What he has done is theft. Your poor friend

I think she would need to say he stole it from her rather than me because I transferred it. I can't see her doing that unfortunately

What an absolute bastard.

Your poor friend. How did he access her account? If he knows her passwords to anything, she needs to change them asap.

Cunt

ThisCantBeRightCanIt · 09/08/2025 11:02

Ticket really isn't the problem. The problem is your friend is in an abusive relationship, all you can is support her and hope that one day she sees the light.

WickWood · 09/08/2025 11:04

Absolute arse. Does she have much insight into what a cock he is?

Thingyfanding · 09/08/2025 11:08

I’d be inclined to go to the venue early and speak to them about everything that happened - bring evidence and see if someone takes pity.

Neodymium · 09/08/2025 11:08

can you reissue the ticket on your account? Make sure that you get there first and scan it in. The person he sold it to won’t work then they will chase him for a refund

If he sold it on friends account it would be her that would be in trouble. If it worked.

MJ1980 · 09/08/2025 11:50

Unfortunately shes going to have to wake up and see the light for herself. You could send her a link to this thread? I feel really sorry for her. She needs to get away from him

Catpiece · 09/08/2025 11:50

Utter, utter cunt.

Letsgodancing · 09/08/2025 11:56

That's so awful, she will not see a penny of that money, I would bet he goes on a bender this weekend with the money to punish her for daring to go to a concert with friends.
You sound lovely and it's a sad situation, and there's probably alot more awful things he does. I think even if you could get her a last minute ticket, there will be some reason why she cannot go.

ThejoyofNC · 09/08/2025 11:57

I'd go round there. Fucking pig.

Dontwasteyourbreath · 09/08/2025 12:12

What a total, total thundercunt 🤬 I would be utterly furious on her behalf and I’d want to go round and tear him a new one. But I wouldn’t, because I know she’d pay the price. All you can do is think is be there for her. I would assume she’s both upset and embarrassed the poor woman. Maybe this will help her to see how much of a twat he is?

Tablesandchairs23 · 09/08/2025 12:19

I feel so sorry for her. I hate to think what else he does to her.

Problem is, she would suffer the consequences and he’d just laugh at you.

We got her a ticket and she came. She's managed to get the money and she's staying with a family member for a couple of days and deciding what to do next.

Glad to hear this, guessing he pocketed the money from selling the first one? I'd be heavily encouraging her to leave and showing her she has support to do it.

She managed to get all of the money from him. I didn't ask too many questions TBH but think the password thing worked both ways and she transferred it all to herself from his online account. We actually all clubbed together and got her a standing ticket and we've told her to keep the cash, hopefully could be a little start up money for her if she leaves 🤞

She knows we support her but it's complicated isn't it, it always is. I hope this is the final straw for her though and she'll take the leap.
