Not to give her ticket she paid for?

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 ?

Forgive me if I missed this, but how did she stop you going on holiday?

whostoletheeyeoutyourteddybear · 16/01/2020 19:23

Omg this post is so cringy! Just sell all the tickets, block them, move on and stop acting like a group of 12 years olds. Also, you seriously need to work on your self esteem.

Go with your real friend. If the " nice one" was really a nice person she wouldn't believe let herself be steered by this nasty one. She has no moral compass. Forget them. Sell the ticket and go with your friend. You don't even need to tell them you are going. Just the fact they told you are no longer welcome is reason enough. I wouldn't give them the chance to pay and get the tickets either. Unless of course there is another side and you've done something very bad.

whatdoidorr · 16/01/2020 19:28

Sorry if I can't answer all the questions,il try my best.
The trip away was September 2019
In November 2019 we started talking (as we had a birthday night out planned with a few mutual friends )
I got the tickets in December 2019 for this concert.
She twisted it and said that I was to blame for the fall out and if I had just cancelled the bowling trip then none of this would happen.

@Figgygal refund them both their money

Shock She owes her £400!!!!!!

Broken2020 · 16/01/2020 19:34

@whatdoidorr NO keep all 3 tickets until your money iscrepaid. Friend B is not a friend either she's a bitch too! A nasty one who thinks you're a liar

namechange0912 · 16/01/2020 19:34

This sounds like a dilemma my daughters would have. They are 12 and 11 🤦🏼‍♀️

27Bananas · 16/01/2020 19:44

I would send them 2 tickets with a seat in between and then find someone awful to sit between them 😂

LittleGift · 16/01/2020 19:45

Op, you have a friend that you’ve already said will buy one of the tickets and go with you. That’s great.

As has been said a gajillion times: let B have her ticket and tell them A can have hers if she gives you the money she owes you (set a deadline), if she doesn’t go with nice friend.

Take comfort in the fact that if A is that much of an arsehole she’ll do similar to B at some point in the future. But you won’t care because you’ll have blocked their arses.

BumbleBeee69 · 16/01/2020 20:01

OP what the hell is wrong with you? these people are treating you like something stuck to their shoes.. and yet you are crawling after them begging from scraps from their table ?

block both of them, stop texting BratB and sell the bloody tickets.. Confused

carly2803 · 16/01/2020 20:03

the whole situation is pathetic. sell the tickets, get back some of the money they owe you

happy 13th birthday btw. sounds like a teenage issue

Dragonsmother · 16/01/2020 20:04

OP- how are you feeling? X

Mamawingingit1234 · 16/01/2020 20:04

Neither are you friend. I’m sorry I know how shit that feels. But neither has treated you very nice. Is the concert sold out? If so I’d sell you the nice friend. Send friend b her tickets and explain that unfortunately you never wanted any of the drama and as friend a no longer wants to continue this friendship you highly doubt she will pay the £400 she owes you and have had no choice to sell the other ticket (don’t say her ticket) as the first payment.

I wouldn’t give her the option of going with friend b.

You are in your 30s and it can be hard to make news friends but no friends are better than these girls. You deserve better.

Watisiitallaboot · 16/01/2020 20:05

@whatdoidorr

Totally agree.

You should consider working on your self esteem because YOU are ALLOWING her to treat you this way by continually going back for more, and hoping she'll be nice one day and change her behaviour... She ain't changing.
Insanity is repeating the same behaviour and hoping for a different outcome.
It 2020, the year of clarity.

Just out of interest, what star sign is she? Fr

Ferrisbuellersdayoff · 16/01/2020 20:10

Have you ever told A not to worry about the money she owes? I think this is very important in making a decision about the concert tickets.

CambsAlways · 16/01/2020 20:13

I’m trying to get my head round Why a person would be paying for things on a card for so called friends who certainly aren’t, reading all these threads I cannot believe you are 35/years old, the more I read the more I’m thinking this is a child writing this, surely you realise these aren’t friends, you are saying person b I can’t call her a friend it’s ridiculous, No she is not a nice person, you say you get on well, Do you, Really! You need to pick some real friends! They are BOTH using you, for what they can get out of you,! Sorry to be harsh but sadly you need to get some self esteem, and get away from these two parasites as soon as you can,

Spotsandstars · 16/01/2020 20:15

Op, do you struggle socially normally? Do you find it hard to find and keep friends? Although these women aren't kind you have come across very socially awkward and young for your age. Most people would've stepped away long ago but you are behaving very needy. I think you need to look at yourself and see what patterns you are following.

Titective · 16/01/2020 20:22

Here's what I would do. Realistically you've lost both friendships and the money at the moment. Sod being the bigger person when A is treating you like shit and B says call someone else.

Sell A's ticket to a nice friend so you have a pal to go with. Sell B's ticket to anyone else who wants it. When they ask where the tickets are say to A this is payment for the lost holiday. You still owe me £250 and now you owe B £75 because I've knocked that off what you owe me.

And to B I would say if you want your money back you need to ask A as I've knocked it off the £400 she owes me and so now she owes you the £75 as I obviously won't be seeing you in future.

whatdoidorr · 16/01/2020 20:25

I know the situation is pathetic.
It's friend A and her jealousy that's caused all of this.
I even said to friend B it's ridiculous.

OP posts:
whatdoidorr · 16/01/2020 20:26

Friend A said she would pay the £200 back eventually but I think she never had any intention

OP posts:
whatdoidorr · 16/01/2020 20:26

I have 3 good friends.
They all know about this.
They know I'm not a one for causing drama etc.

OP posts:
WhenISnappedAndFarted · 16/01/2020 20:27

Stop crawling to 'friend' B. She's made her position clear and it's not on your side.

Refund or give B her ticket, sell A's ticket and leave them alone. They don't want to be your friend.

mrshousty · 16/01/2020 20:29

Op screw them. Take your true friend. If friend b is a nice person she wouldn't have told you you're nit welcome. Time to remove toxic people from your life. Its the only way to be truly happy in yourself 🥰

RandomWok · 16/01/2020 20:30

Sending you a great big hug OP. Ditch them both, you are worth more than them. They deserve each other. I bet Friends A and B will fall out soon enough and you are better off away from them both!

I would give the ticket to the one that paid and sell the one that owes you the holiday money to your nice friend. Go and have a wonderful time and stop worry what friend B thinks of you. It is not worth the head space!
