Aibu not to give up my raffle win

[MammyNeedsASpaDay]

I won a good prize at a raffle. Fancy tickets for a football match between premiership teams with meal and drinks included.

I don't have much interest in football, but I quite fancied going, or even if I sold the tickets I feel that's my choice as I won them.

People keep saying it's wasted on me and I don't deserve to have won.

Am I being unreasonable thinking a) it's a bit harsh and b) it's up to me what I do with them?

Fuck that I would keep it and sell it but not to them. I would take great delight in flogging it on eBay with a reserve. Then telling them after the event.

I think I'd what PlumsGalore said, too. That's a sizable deposit on a holiday!

If you can sell just 2 tickets do it! You get the experience and cash to spend on something really special. Or sell them all and go on a special holiday!

I hadn't really considered how much I'd get.....I think keeping 2 and selling 2 sounds good!!

Is this at Leicester City by any chance?

You wouldn't want to spend that day with people who have been so rude and dismissive of you, so keep tickets 3 and 4 well away from your colleagues! Raffling, eBaying or treating some family members all sound decent options!

Not Leicester, this must be a common prize this time of year!!

Wind them up, tell them you are taking three girlfriends with you and you all need to have the offside rule explained to you. (Don't know what this is myself but is always mentioned so must be important)

Selling the other two would be a nice bit if money towards a holiday...

However, If your brother would like to go (and he's not a complete arse) I'd probably take him & BIL. More down to guilt than being a nice person!😁

As for the others, ignore the prats.

Yeah, tell them you won't even watch the match as football s so boring, but the wine will be nice & hopefully some celebs will be there...then keep talking about what you're all planning on wearing (mention the other teams colours frequently).

tell them to go and suck a lemon so their faces match their shitty jealous attitudes.. it is your win and your choice what you do with them

YANBU I won a signed football strip once and someone there had been going round beforehand telling everyone he wanted it and nobody better win it. When I went forward with my raffle ticket he swore and boo'd me and I felt so awkward. If he had been nice I would have given it to him but I thought 'nah fuck it'

YANBU OP, but I would check the small print, you may not be allowed to sell the tickets on.

I know I would sell if I could.

Congrats!

Whatever you decide to do with the tickets, thoroughly enjoy the experience and block out those f*ers who dare to question your right to YOUR prize. It smacks of sexism to me. Forget all about it and go and enjoy yourself. Well done!

I am not a footie fan at all, but I went to a match once with exDH when his team was still in the Premiership and it was great! I really enjoyed and when he wanted to leave 10 minutes before the end to avoid the worst of the traffic, I insisted we stay to the end.

Its a bit like going to a gig when you are not big fan of the band, its still a great atmosphere and experience.

Enjoy!

Wow congratulations OP go and have a bloody good time,I bet it will be amazing! just like kinickie said though I'd check the small print before selling the other 2 tickets you don't want to do something that means you miss out on the prize.

If you can't sell them on and you get on well with your BIL and SIL it might be nice to be able to share the experience with them.

As for the miserable sods at work if they carry on having a go at you I'd seriously report them!
