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?

Hey, not sure if you can make it to the concert? If so could you please fetch the money, or I can sell it on Facebook. Let me know!'

Neither of these people are your friends. Don't apologise and don't hand over the ticket to her until she pays. Lastly don't book any more tickets for her.

Just tell her you're still waiting for the £50 she owes you for the ticket. If she can't afford it anymore, you're selling it on to recoup your money. End of.

She's a CF. Do not let her go to the concert on promises of payment; you will never see it if you don't get it up front.

Ffs no you don't let her go for free. Message: hiya are you still wanting to come to the concert, if so please send me the £50 for the ticket. No worries if not. I'll sell it. Thanks.

Have you done it OP? Have you hoiked up your big girl pants and asked for it? I do hope so, cheeky mare!

You can do it OP - stand up for yourself! 💪🏼

The ticket is currently worth £50. After Sunday, it is worth fuck all. If you are going to get your money back for it, you have quite a limited window of opportunity, so you need to get your big girl pants skates on.

Don't apologise, don't imply that you're in any way unreasonable for not standing her the ticket - just give her your account details and a deadline (e.g. 12 noon on Saturday) by which time the money needs to be in your account (NOT solemn promises to give you cash next week), or you WILL be selling the ticket to someone else. She's had eight months to pay and her time is up!

Good luck, OP.

Say.. Unless you pay me by x time, I'll assume you mo longer want the ticket and I will sell it to recoup my costs...i

f she gives you a sob story... Be resolute...
You agreed to pay for this ticket if I bought them... You've had 8 months to pay. I need to recoup my costs

Don't apologise. Ask for the money or explain you will sell it. No room for excuses or for her to wriggle out of it.
I can't believe people take 8 months to pay back in situations like this. Maybe a couple of weeks til payday, but 8 months!?!

She has had plenty of time to pay up or confess to you she can’t afford it. Either way, it’s entiely right for you to tell her you need the money now or you’ll sell the ticket on.

Bloody cheek of some people. Agreed don't be nice, straight to the point. Need it the money by X time or ticket will be sold to other interested party. Do not apologise!!

Cheeky bitch! Tell her you need the money tomorrow or she won’t be going.

No money = no ticket. I'd she wants to go she needs to pay up before the event. If she doesn't then sell it on, no point you being out of pocket!

Did you message her? Sell it on if she doesn't pay. If she turns up without contacting you just tell her it's been sold as you hadn't received the money.

Is it another JK concert????

You paid for the tickets, they are yours. Tell your friend you have someone else willing to pay for them, if she can’t afford them now she can not have them. You’ll never see the money if she hasn’t made any effort in that many months.

I hope you live far away from London for her to put £60 fuel in her car

If not then she’s a knob

Hi , I still have your concert ticket here. Do you still want it ? Let me know ASAP otherwise I’ll sell it on Facebook . My bank details are ***
No apologies of any kind .

I hope you've used one of the suggestions which says she owes you and that you still have the option of selling it on.

Don't be a mug, you'll never see that money otherwise.

Why on Earth is this even a query?! No more messages - sell the ticket on the night, somebody's bound to buy it. If it may be the case that you'll squirm when you see her and passively hand over ticket so she can waltz in free - then frankly you aren't the kind of person who should be paying in advance for other people's tickets to be honest. It's creating hassle you are unable deal with

"Hi, looking forward to the gig. Can you screeenshot me the bank transfer for the ticket money asap.'

Are you sure she hasn't already paid your friend? It would explain why the friend doesn't want to ask.

Have you posted anything?

“Gosh I just read your post. I didn’t realise you still wanted to come. I was just about to sell the ticket. I really need the money today please.”

OP please tell me you sent a message? I'm so pissed off on your behalf, the cheeky fucker!

Did you send her a message OP ?
