My brother opens in a big musical tonight- it's really exciting and we've been counting down the days. We were entitled to 4 tickets and could then book extras that wouldn't necessarily be sat together.
The initial plan was to have my parents and then me and my partner but my partner can't make it anymore due to work. So my mum decided that she would invite our very close friend. Close friend accepted but asked if her partner could come along too. Mum didn't want to say no so she booked another ticket but they couldn't seat us all together so there are 4 tickets booked and then one separate. I normally don't mind sitting on my own but it's such a special occasion for us all I would really rather sit with my parents.
It's not the end of the world, of course, as I still get to watch the show and the extra seat is technically a slightly better view but I would really rather not be alone. AIBU?
