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?

Hope you have managed to sell it.

I went to see Steps last night and it was amazing. Vengaboys were fab too, the place was bouncing!

Have a great night

interested to hear update - hope she didn't get it for free!

I've sold on twickets before, it's great as people set up alerts for whatever event they're looking for and get email as soon as a seat is listed. My ticket sold within the hour and for face value less a small fee.

same situation with me and a friend of mine, we'll call her Sharon (mostly because that's her name and I don't mind outing her under the circumstances) Also waited 8 months and despite messages, she never bothered replying, then left another message saying I hadn't heard from her at all, I needed the money, it wasn't an agreed loan, just that I had paid for all tickets at the time and then I was about to lose my job. She wrote back with two postdated cheques (!) and said she was glad I was losing my job and maybe now I understood what it was like to have no money!!! She was not skint, far from it. Obvs not a friend any more. People with a sense of entitlement do my nut in.

If not sorted yet. I'd send this.

Hi. Well the concert date is finally here, still need the money for the ticket. Can you transfer it into my account. If you no longer want to go, I can always get a friend to buy it off me..

It isn't your responsibility to pay for her ticket. Don't give it to her, it will ruin your night..

Enjoy

I'd love an update OP.

To be honest, as she hasn't even had the decency to contact you AND she took £20 for petrol knowing she owed you £50, I'd rather burn the ticket than let her have it. What an advantage taker! Poor you!

Please don't be sweet talked at the last minute!

Totally agree. And if you let her go in the promise she will cough up when she gets paid for example, you can say bye bye to the money. She has had ages to pay you. Its not on.

Hope you get it sold OP

I would have loved it 💖

I hope you managed to sell your ticket OP and have a fab time at the concert you definitely did the right thing! Xx

I hope the CF reads this and sees how much of a CF she is!

Hope you managed to sell the ticket.

Nope , keep the ticket. No money, no ticket, simple as that. Cheeky fecker.

Any buyer yet ?

Even if she’s turned up on the night no cash, no ticket and no entry.

Had a friend of a friend try this. Kept promising to send the money and didn’t. Night of the concert arrived and she was standing there with my friend (who had paid for her ticket). Handed one ticket to my friend and she was standing their with her hand out...

Said “oh, you can have your ticket when you hand over £65”. She then said she had only brought enough money for a programme but would send it next day.

No cash, no ticket and walked away. She was calling me for everything and security came over to investigate (as were near the doors). Explained the situation and the security guard told her if she didn’t pay for the ticket, she most certainly wasn’t getting in.

She then suddenly discovered she had £100 in her purse that she had “forgotten about” so handed over the £65 and got her ticket.

Security guy told her that any trouble from her and he’d personally eject her from the venue - ticket or not.

Needless to say, she never asked again and I’ve not had contact with her since. Cheeky mare.

Wow Ali that’s cheeky

I am going to Leeds on Tuesday OP. Another who missed out going when younger and is now overly excited!!! Please update us, especially on the concert

Why are people surprised that the tickets are £45 that’s about right for an arena tour nowadays. All the recent ones I have been to have been around that mark. Ps I’m going to Newcastle tomorrow too!!

i think your friends a pisstakr aswell

id be embarrased iif my family wouldnt pay up for something she sounds like she couldnt give a toss

Put on your Facebook that you have a spare ticket, because someone hasn't been forthcoming with the money, and are looking for someone to take it. That might hurry her up!

You don't have to say your short on money. She owes you. I wouldn't hand over until money in my hand. I would also call her out on FB saying that she hasn't paid etc. She likes the attention of advertising she's going to the concert, but I guarantee she'll hate getting embarrassed about being stingy.

If I were your "friend", I'd have paid you for my cousin's ticket and demanded that she give me the money or else I would sell the ticket! What has happened must leave you wondering whether she is a proper friend?

I went to see steps under much duress as my 13 yr old sister and her friends adult guardian when they were famous 20 yrs ago.... one of the best concerts I ever went to and I am a gig girl.... or I was before I became a boring middle aged mum
I have also been mugged off by so many "pay you laters" (a fool and their money etc....) that i am proud on your behalf for making a stand hope it's worth it...

What happened with the ticket OP?

Yes, your ‘friend’ has been awful about this too by saying she’s not getting involved, it’s awkward or whatever when she’s in daily contact with her cousin. She knows her cousin was trying to fleece you but doesn’t care, as she’s enabling her. I would have sent my cousin a message saying ‘what’s going on with x and the ticket money’ and gone from there

Very glad you grew some balls.
Hope you manage to sell it.
Enjoy the concert.
They will be fab!
