Fucking Hacked Off

Name changed so this isn't linked to my other posts.

I'm fucking hacked off.

Long awaited event which takes place once a year. This year it falls over Easter weekend, on the Saturday.

I bought tickets months ago so that me, a friend and her boyfriend could go. She was fully aware of this and vas very appreciative at the time. Didn't cost loads as I got in early but still... also bought one extra for the guy I was seeing at the time but that's not happening anymore so I've got four tickets to this event.

Friend has dropped out, can't make it for a couple of reasons which I understand. No apology though or offer to reimburse me for the tickets I bought for her and her boyfriend.

Approached a family member to see if they'd come with me as I'd really like to go. Offered to front all costs bar alcohol so they wouldn't be too much out of pocket.

Whilst they didn't fully commit, I did think they'd be coming based on their response. However tonight they've turned round and said it's not for them and they won't be coming.

I'm hacked off because a) my friend let me down in the first place and b) family member (I feel) led me down the path a bit before blowing me out too.

I really really want to go to this event! But now quite sadly have no one else to go with Sad

Other friends are married/coupled up/have babies or this event really isn't for them.

What would you do? Can you think of any other options apart from turning up like a sad act on their own Confused

I can't sell the tickets on either as the card they were booked on needs to be present at the time of admission.

TIA

I'd totally go and I don't even know what it's for. (Hook me up!) Wink
You don't have to advertise in a way that makes you look like Billy No Mates - simply say 'three extra tickets available'.
I've been to many a gig or concert on my own and it's surprising how easy it is. There's normally people who will strike up a conversation, and more often than not there's people I know there.
Go and enjoy, and just buy tickets for yourself in future.

Just wanted to thank everyone who posted suggestions on this thread.

I've taken the bull by the horns, and through posting on social media I've now got plans to meet a small group of people going to the event!

Eeek I'm nervous, but excited at the same time and feel a massive sense of empowerment that I'm actually getting out and doing something by myself!

So wish me luck... I'll report back after the hangovers worn off to update on how it went! Grin
