Tickets for a show

[redpinkblue]

I'm prepared to be told that I'm being unreasonable here....

My friend's husband bought her tickets for a musical performer for her Christmas and she asked me to go. I said yeah I'd be up for it and asked how much I owed her for the tickets out of politeness. My husband has bought me tickets before for my birthday to take friend to a show and I wouldn't have dreamed taking money off her. Anyway, she wants the money for the ticket...AIBU to think that if you're gifted two tickets you don't charge the other person?

Maybe I'm a soft touch for not charging my friend previously?

You offered her the money Now you're pissed because she called your bluff?

You chose to offer her money, she didn't. So why are you pissed off?

I agree with you, OP.

You offer to be polite. She should have refused.

I asked "do i owe you anything?" as I thought it was the polite thing to do...

You asked, so she rightly assumed you'd be more comfortable with paying.

Your bad luck. Next time, accept graciously.

Yeah I will hallowed...it just seems a bit greedy. Perhaps others will disagree.

Oh yes, the polite thing to do in this scenario is to offer the £$€¥ then judge the other person if they accept. It's what all the ettiquette books recommend

I wouldn't have thought to offer the £ in this case, I am normally pay my way with everything, happy to pay for a whole meal etc but if the tickets were a gift and she needed someone to go with her then I wouldn't have thought to offer the cash

If I had offered the cash, or if I was the birthday girl and someone else offered the cash, then I wouldn't expect it to be accepted

judging you right now idaho
