A big community Christmas event was planned by a group I volunteer with. The person organising it had to pull out half way through due to ill health, the tickets had been printed and posters sorted etc so just to keep the whole event going I volunteered to step in and finish the organising.
I had to find a new venue because the original one had been cancelled following the departure of the other organiser, they had also cancelled the caterers and entertainment. I have had to organise all this again for the same date and I have paid for it myself to be refunded once the tickets are all sold.
The AIBU bit is I have just had an email from another volunteer (selling tickets and putting up posters type help) who has said that because I hadn't paid for my reserved tickets by the last date stipulated (Monday) she has now sold them. I know she allocated herself free tickets (as agreed previously) but she has sold my tickets because I hadn't paid 
.
If I'm honest with you I hadn't actually expected to pay for my tickets myself as I have paid for the venue, catering and entertainment out of my own pocket to be reimbursed later but its still money I cannot spend until its repaid. We had a certain number allocated to be given away free for volunteers of which she has allocated me none. And now the event will go ahead without me being there. All tickets are now sold and I cant go because of the fire regulations regarding numbers at the venue.
I'm feeling a bit pissed off about it all. I think Old mardy pants (Other volunteer) has deliberately sold my tickets so she can tell everyone she organised it all herself.
SO go on then AIBU for thinking I should have had free tickets like the other volunteers? AIBU for thinking she deliberately sold my tickets so I didn't show her up on the dance floor? For the record I will never be doing this again.
