I clicked yes to a Facebook invite, without asking someone has bought me a ticket.

I didn't ask them for this ticket and I had no idea it would cost 60 quid and now they are asking me to transfer the money.

60 is too much just to spend on two hours out.

Does clicking yes on a fb invite expect someone else to buy a ticket? The description was just basic and asked if people wanted to go.

The fact that you're entitled to a discount ticket gives you an easy out. Just explain you were going to buy your own ticket since they didn't mention they were buying them and you can get one for £25 so clearly it wouldn't make sense for you to spend £60. See if they can pass the ticket on to someone else. You should definitely not feel obligated to pay them for the ticket when they bought it without discussing it with you.

How is it £60? I've been looking at tickets for this, and prices seem to range from £35 to £47. The only ones I've seen that are more than that are for the "Luna's List" tickets, which seem to allow some sort of flexible arrival time.

If your friend's cracked on and bought the most expensive tickets possible, then she is being massively unreasonable, as there seem to be all sorts of arrival time options, with different prices, and there should have been some sort of discussion.

Sorry, ignore me. I just looked again and I see that Saturday performances are £55.

Tell her that you bought a ticket in response to her FB message.

The drowned man is brilliant, but there's no point in going as a group. Trying to keep track of other people makes it impossible to follow the action - you need to be following the characters through the building and making spur of the moment decision about where to go. It's best by far to be on your own. Meeting up at the bar at a prearranged time is possible, but would inevitably interrupt something.

And no, I wouldn't pay the £60 if I was entitled to buy a £25 ticket.
I highly recommend it though - I've been twice and would be very happy to go again.

Tick don't know next time and ask about costs

Why don't you try ringing the theatre, explain someone else bought for you and see if you can refund and buy at the discounted price.

I think you can only get the £25 tickets for 5pm on a friday. It is very good.
