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?

Sound the alarm CF alert!

Message her "Hi, just a reminder I need the £ for the ticket or I'm going to have to return it as I can't afford to be out of pocket for another at the moment. Can you send it over today? Thanks"

Sorry everyone just woken up.
I've text my friend asking for her cousins number then I'm going to send it.
I'm actually nervous and I don't know why.
You would think it was me who owed the money.

I have a feeling she will say she can't afford it etc
So I don't know where il attempt to sell it

Don't give the ticket without the money.
You will never get it otherwise.

Ask your cousin for her number and send her a text. Why should you feel unreasonable asking someone to pay for something?

No don't text. Other than to say 'I've sent you a message on FB'

She can deny getting the text. Send a FB message if she's on your friend's list.

You would think it was me who owed the money.

Indeed, but with the power of MN behind you, you will stay strong, well done.

You can sell it online OP on a ticket site. Who takes a ticket they arent going to pay for? What a bitch.

Be clear.

Hi X

If you still want this ticket I need the £50 today, if I don't have it by 5pmI'll put the ticket on FB selling /stub hub/whatever.

Thanks

"So I don't know where il attempt to sell it"

Try Stubhub for starters :-)

Please don't let her go without payment!
When you get her number text her!

Definitely no payment no ticket.

Pop a message on Facebook to sell it. Someone usually knows someone who will want it.

You should be able to sell it with no problems

But yes do not hand over the ticket until you have the money

I'm now also wondering if she'd given it to friend and that's why friend wont ask?

I have the perfect message for you OP:

"Hi, I have a very good friend who would love to come to the concert. Just wanted to confirm you are going to pay for the ticket before XXX (3 days before the concert), otherwise my friend is happy to purchase it herself."

Google Twickets. You can sell it there, meet the buyer at the venue. You might not get full face value, but something is better than nothing, particularly at short notice.

I'd be finding her Facebook post and replying to it, saying 'I'm excited too. You've not actually paid me for your ticket yet, though, if you could do that today.' Either she'll be shamed into paying or she'll see her arse and flounce, so you sell it.

Don't be embarrassed. It's YOUR money, she's a cheeky fucker!

Don’t be embarrassed!! Just say very excited but don’t forget you’ve still not paid me for your ticket - can you transfer the money for me now or pop round with the cash today - otherwise I’ll have to find someone who can pay their way

You need to reply to her post saying 'Did you get another ticket or do you still want the one I got for you? I'll need payment today though or I'll have to sell on. I thought you had forgotten about it as you haven't paid me yet'.

No need to call her.

If she doesn't pay check Facebook for an event page for the gig too - I've bought/sold tickets that way face value & direct to the other person rather than paying fees on a selling site

& good luck OP - you're 100% in the right here

So..... have you sent the message yet?

What a cf! Please don't let her get away with this op , and in future please don't pay for and organise a group night out for people like this.

Personally, I'd rather burn the ticked infront of her than lather attend.

The friend doesn't sound like she's got your back either , so I'd question whether her friendship was worth anything.

I recently sold a couple of tickets on Viagogo. They have a good easy to use app & they can pay straight into your bank after the gig.

Yes don't let her get away with it

OOhh OP I hope you get your money... why do people take the piss.. it's just bloody horrible

Please don't let her get away with this! No money, no ticket.
