Not to give her ticket she paid for?

whatdoidorr · 15/01/2020 12:20

My "friend" last year caused a lot of trouble for me and refused to pay back a large sum of money.
We were meant to go on holiday but she stopped me from going (after I paid ) as she had the tickets.
Like the fool I am I forgave her.
Me ,her and another girl bought tickets to see a band in April.
I ordered the tickets on my card but she paid.
Anyway she's fell out with me again and has been telling lies about me to this other girl.
This other girl has told me I'm no longer welcome to go to this concert with them and will I post their two tickets.
Now il happily post this girls ticket but my "friend" owes me £400 and now she's made sure I can't go to this concert with them out of spite.
What do I do ?

Also I don't u defat and why you would still want to go with them your saying one friend owe you money and the other is nice, she clearly isn't that nice if she chooses to listen to just one person side of things and then cut you off and uninvited you to a concert give the so called nice girl her money back or send her 1 ticket

Branleuse · 16/01/2020 17:59

tell them both to go fuck themselves. Keep the tickets and sell them on to try and recoup some of the money you lost being such a mug in the past. Your ex friends sound like children

Flavarings · 16/01/2020 18:00

Friend B isn't a true friend OP.
Send B her ticket
Sell friend A's ticket and tell her its for the money she owes.
It sounds like shes always planned to take somebody else to things at the expense of you. First the holiday, then this concert (probably thinking if your not welcome then you'll send all 3 with only asking for the 2 if that makes sense)

jackie2669 · 16/01/2020 18:00

I use to be like you and honestly it does your health any good .take a deep breath send the tickets and just put a line under it all.I bet friend b will soon realise when friend a hasn't got you to make a fool of .

Branleuse · 16/01/2020 18:02

honestly, i couldnt be bothered to walk to the post office for someone like that. What idiots to be like that to the person that actually has the tickets in hand

Mumgonenuts2020 · 16/01/2020 18:04

Sounds like a love island scenario.. 😄😄😄

TrixieMixie · 16/01/2020 18:05

This is confusing. If Friend A owes you £400, then insist on its repayment before posting her any ticket. Similarly, post Friend B her ticket, but only if she has paid for it. If you have your ticket, then go to the concert yourself, or sell it. Drop both 'friends' and make some new, better ones.

Readordead · 16/01/2020 18:05

I would shred all the tickets and quite happily that would be a small cost to get rid of these losers out your life.

HuggedTrees · 16/01/2020 18:07

Don’t message friend B that message about feeling low etc, you’re just feeding into their drama.

Send friend B her ticket or not. Just send one recorded delivery, don’t mention friend A, if she gets in touch, tell her she owes you £400 and you had to sell it to recoup. Go with new friend, block A&B

Kwkwjwkek · 16/01/2020 18:07

No do not send the tickets!!! She owes you £400. Don’t be a mug and stand your ground

HuggedTrees · 16/01/2020 18:08

Absolutely actually don’t send B’s ticket unless she has paid for it herself.

Jojofjo44 · 16/01/2020 18:13

I would refund Person B their £75, with a note saying sorry, but I'm not happy with you going by yourself and I'll be using the other 2 myself.
These are not friends, block them and move on. If you don't have many friends, work on your self esteem/shyness and maybe join a group on Facebook including a hobby or interest of yours and make some new ones.
Perhaps a fan page for the artist you are going to see.

Dragonsmother · 16/01/2020 18:16

Wowsers!! Step away. This is totally toxic. This is not a healthy friendship.

Friend B is not the friend you hoped she would be. Let’s face it she is friend “A” friend.

There are 3 tickets- so you have a ticket- who said you can’t go?!! It’s not their decision to tell you where you can and can’t go. Seriously, if one of my mates done this she would be blocked and never spoken to again.

I don’t think you should go to the concert as let’s face it- after all this drama it wouldn’t be fun. Instead refund the tickets and tell them this is the end of the endless drama. Sell them on.
Draw a big line under this, block them both and never breathe their names again.

Wilkie1956mog · 16/01/2020 18:17

Give girl 2 her ticket if she paid for it. But don't give the ticket to the friend who owes you a lot of money already. Try to find someone else to take with you to the concert with "her" ticket. Or else try to sell them. And I wouldnt bother with either of them again.

tierdytierd · 16/01/2020 18:18

Send friend b her ticket she paid, along with a group txt to them both ‘b’s ticket is in the post, A’s ticket is with me when I get the £400 you can have into then consider it part payment towards that debt. I no longer have time for petty toxic folk, have a wonderful life’
If her own sister has disowned her and invited you over her then this speak volumes, don’t you think!!
You sound like a lovely person who deserves far better than this. Take it at face value now move forward with nice people who value you as person as a friend x

Emz · 16/01/2020 18:21

From what you say, this is no friend, this is someone who appears to have stolen £400 from you and is now trying to bully you into not going to a concert you have paid for. You might consider going to the Small Claims Court to try to get your money back, but if that seems too difficult and unrealistic, you could put it all down to bad experience, cut all contact and refuse to engage further.

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 16/01/2020 18:22

I would keep friend A’s ticket anD let your other friend buy it.

I wouldn’t refund friend B, but I would send her the ticket. I think the fucker deserves to have spent £75 and to have the realisation that she now has no one to go with. Hell slap it up her. 😁

FFS OP, grow a set of ovaries, will you! I’m glad you’ve said you will keep A’s ticket, but don’t you dare back down. Just think about it. You know friend A is gloating at the thought that you won’t stand up to her and at the thought of you losing, YET ANOTHER, planned activity. The two of them are thinking that you will send them both tickets, they can go together, while you stay at home. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they realise their nasty little scheme hasn’t worked out. 😁

slashlover · 16/01/2020 18:23

Everyone is saying how horrible Friend B is but she knew Friend A before OP and there is every chance Friend B is being manipulated in the same way OP was. Friend A is clearly a user but Friend B may not have realised this yet and may be trusting her long term friend when she says things about OP.

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 16/01/2020 18:26

Friend B seems more than happy to be spoon fed shite, so I’ve no sympathy for someone that ignorant.

HannaYeah · 16/01/2020 18:28

I think I’d sell both tickets and send friend B the money.

Or send friend B the money and find someone else to take.

I would steer clear of both of these women. B seems almost worse that A, at least with A you knew what you were getting.

OP took friend A back after she refused to let her go on the holiday, there's every chance Friend A goes for people she can easily manipulate.

Drknittingfrog · 16/01/2020 18:37

Sell the tickets! B is no more your friend than A... You deserve much better.

sarahjmottram · 16/01/2020 18:39

Go with your other friend and sell the other ticket. Show her you don’t need her to have a good time. Also clearly explain to friend B what has happened.

AllHeart1 · 16/01/2020 18:41

I don’t understand why anyone is suggesting the OP sends either of the tickets.

In fact I would turn this around - Friend b says “you’re not welcome at the concert,” OP turns this to her advantage and replies “ok, well no worries if you don’t want to go with me, I’ll go with someone else. I’ll refund the money for your ticket, friend A still owes me £600 from the holiday so I’ll Keep her money in part payment of that.”

The end

As an aside, wtf concert is this where tickets are £400? Shock
