To ask for my money?

[Kellyopio]

In March I paid for concert tickets for me,my friend and her cousin.
They were £50 each.
My friend paid a week later but her cousin never paid.
I sent her a message and pic when the tickets arrived and reminded her they were £50.
8 months later no payment and concert is Sunday.
She is writing on her Facebook she is excited and can't wait but I don't think she's going to pay.
I asked my friend and she said she doubts she will pay for the ticket.
I asked my friend can she speak to her cousin and remind her about the £50 and she refused.
What would you do now?
Let her go for free?

Just text the cousin. I'm taking it you don't still want the ticket so I'm going to sell it on.

OP be sure and tell the cousin that the ticket is for sale. Enjoy!

Op so what's the latest? Are you snd friend still going? Does cousin know she's not coming

I'm really curious.
If your friend doesn't tell her cousin you're selling the ticket, will the cousin show up to the concert?
Or maybe she doesn't think you will actually sell it?

My guess is cousin also owes friend money and she's setting her up for a lesson (without getting involved), or she thinks you'll back down and still give it to her without payment.

Won't it be weird between you and your friend at the concert?

Shamelessly placemarking

*Your friend doubts her cousin will pay for the ticket?

I doubt she'll be going then grin. She'd get one message from me saying if I've not had the cash by lunchtime tomorrow she won't be getting the ticket. I'd tell her my DP will be going instead.

(Even if that's a lie) I would BURN the ticket rather than hand it over, frankly.*

Totally agree. No money, no ticket.

I’m pleased it wasn’t a complete Tragedy. Then again some things are Better Best Forgotten

'Yeah I've told friend and she said ok then ..that was the response.
Then she just said she would mention it but didn't feel comfortable doing so (even tho they talk daily ...anywaaaaaay)'

Honestly, she is ripping hte piss out of you just as much as this cousin. Both of them have tried to mug you off here. She's no friend.

How far are you from London? Just trying to see if cousin was taking the piss charging each person £20 for petrol.

Seen what you did there Cherry :-)

Good for you OP.

I'd be wary of going out with this 'friend' again. Doesn't sound like she has your back.

Enjoy the concert, I bet they are brill!

Just as well you've got an extra day to sell the ticket. Why on earth would you leave it so late?

I think the cousin has got a ticket off someone else, and doesn't want to admit it to you. Good luck selling your spare, and have a great gig!

Saw steps a few years ago and they were really good. And with a band like that people will be happy to snap up the ticket that you offer. Have fun

I like Steps.

Don't let the lass have the ticket. Tell her it's been sold.

Your friend is as bad as her cousin for not telling her to pay you!

That’s shocking!

Have you put it in Facebook ? I’ve sold tickets on there before for ticket price.

I'm so overly invested in this and slightly gobsmacked that steps are able to sell tickets for £50.

Of course Steps can sell tickets for £50 - their fans are now in their 30s and can afford it, and as it'll be mainly woman going with mates, they'll be only paying for a ticket each, this isn't a date night event costing a couple £100!

Hope you get a buyer, if you don't, still don't let the cousin have the ticket.

I went to see Steps on their reunion tour a couple of years ago. They were great!

eBay it?

Did you sell it?

Mainly women? I have so many male gay mates who are into Steps!

I doubt she'll be going too - cheek! I would give her one last chance and say that you expect the money by * or she will not get the ticket. Even if you have to sell it at half price you will be less out of pocket and she won't get a free ride. I couldn't enjoy the concert or be civil to someone who was blatantly trying to con me out of money, and neither would I fall for 'I'm a bit hard up really sorry really looking forward to it and I'm going to pay you next week '. No money, no ticket.
