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 ?

Send friend B her ticket. Give other ticket to nice friend. Job done!

Either sell the tickets off and make some of your money back or take someone who would like to go and will pay you for the tickets. Stuff them - why should they get to go and you don't after their treatment of you.

PersephoneandHades · 15/01/2020 12:46

Don't be a mug.

Post B her ticket but inform her that since A refused to give you your ticket last time after you'd paid, you will be using this ticket to go with another friend instead, as this money is owed to you.

It does not make you as bad as her, she refused to give you a ticket you paid for, you forgave her (?!) and have made amends, she is now being manipulative and excluding you, so you are removing yourself from the toxic friendship and recouping the money that she stole from you previously.

PixieDustt · 15/01/2020 12:46

F that I'd sell the whole lot.
They can't tell you you can't go anyway.
You go where you want and let them get on with their petty life's

M3lon · 15/01/2020 12:47

Send tickets to anyone who doesn't still owe you money. Do not send ticket to people who owe you money. Give the people who owe you money a small amount of time to pay up, but then resell any unwanted tickets to nice people.

TorkTorkBam · 15/01/2020 12:48

Friend B didn't seek out ways for you to prove you are nice. If I were her I'd have been checking out your side of the story immediately.

Message both. Tell friend A you need the money she owes you or you'll sell the tickets to get your money back.

whatdoidorr · 15/01/2020 12:48

Friend b hates drama and crazy people.
Friend A has tried to make me out to be crazy and the more I try to defend myself the crazier I guess I look.
I actually feel like I've been bullied (and I'm 35)

Cut your losses. Friend B is too easily led. That friendship is over. Other people exist. Make friends with other people.

arethereanyleftatall · 15/01/2020 12:50

So, you were meant to go on holiday and you paid, then she stopped you from going. Why?
Then you forgave her?!? Why?

OhLookHeKickedTheBall · 15/01/2020 12:50

If you want to keep the moral high ground - and I don't see why you should with friend A tbh - send them both back what they paid you, take your other friend and sell off the other ticket.

Ponoka7 · 15/01/2020 12:51

You can't start bringing up the £400 now that it suits you.

You are punishing B because you were a mug. You are going to lose her as a friend, if you don't give both of them the tickets anyway.

Why were you ever on good terms with her while she owes you this money?

OutFoxxedByABadger · 15/01/2020 12:52

Send "Friend B" (she's not a friend) her ticket and a note that A has 24 hours to pay you the £400 she owes you or you'll sell the ticket to recoup some of the cost. Then sl the ticket to your nice friend anyway because she won't pay you £400 and if by some miracle she does she'll have to make do with a refund of the ticket from you, and you'll both be even won't you.

I'd also tell "friend" B that you are disappointed that she believed the shit stirring from A and that you now no longer consider her a friend.

Then id have a nice time at the concert and delete and block them.

SarahAndQuack · 15/01/2020 12:52

You can't start bringing up the £400 now that it suits you.

Shock

You cannot be for real?

Bringing up four hundred pounds 'now it suits her'?

Who owes someone four hundred quid and doesn't think it's a problem?

ArseHair · 15/01/2020 12:52

OP - friend b is an active participant in this drama and has terrible judgement when it comes down to identifying crazy people.

Block and ignore them both, you don't need them in your life and you certainly don't need to prove anything to either of them.

Somanysocks · 15/01/2020 12:53

You have the upper hand here, neither friend is treating you fairly so keep all tickets and get some new friends.

notacooldad · 15/01/2020 12:53

I just want a chance to show her I'm a nice person
Why though?
Does it matter what she thinks?
Have you low self esteem? You have gone back to a friend who has proved she is not trust worthy. You want to be liked by this other woman.
You are coming across to me as vulnerable and needy and the first friend knows it and us taking the piss

InOtterNews · 15/01/2020 12:54

*I have another friend (a actual friend ) who wants to go to the concert and would buy a ticket happily and we would go and have a good day.

The thing is friend B is a nice person and we get on well.
I just want a chance to show her I'm a nice person*

Post friend B her ticket. Keep Friend A's ticket and take the other friend. The three of you can go to the concert. The other friend can fuck off

whatdoidorr · 15/01/2020 12:55

I text friend b the other night and said
"I know (friend a) has a severe dislike for me and has taken any opportunity she can get to exclude me,it's a shame you can't see through this.
I still want to attend this concert and if she is willing to be the bigger person there is nothing stopping us all attending together like planned.

She read and her only reply was "post two tickets please "

No she fucking doesn't, she's besties with the cray cray.

You can't start bringing up the £400 now that it suits you.

I can't think of a better time, now that A is yet again fucking her over about an event. A's stupid mistake to do it while OP has the tickets.

OutFoxxedByABadger · 15/01/2020 12:57

Why? Neither of them are. Their loss.

NoFucksImAQueen · 15/01/2020 12:58

Woah that reply. Other friend is a bitch too, I'd keep both tickets

TorkTorkBam · 15/01/2020 12:58

Reply back "When she pays me the £400 she owes me."

Figgygal · 15/01/2020 12:58

Honestly fuck friend b refund them both their money keep all the tickets, you go with your other friend and sell the third

Neither of them seem like they’re worth your time

eminencegrise · 15/01/2020 12:58

Give over. Stop letting this bitch walk all over. She doesn't give a shit that you're 'nice', you're just a mark to her. Flog her ticket and delete her from your life.

TorkTorkBam · 15/01/2020 13:00

You are not like me. I would go to the concert. I'd take their tickets along as planned. They can get them off me on the night as planned. I can be so fucking difficult you would not believe it.
