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 ?

Since the other girl is siding with the thief I would not be returning her ticket either. The only way either gets their ticket is if the thief pays you back the money.

"Friend" B is NOT a friend of yours OP. Refund B, sell the two tickets and tell A and B to get to fuck!

Neither of these people sound like your friends and you all sound about 13.

Either send them the tickets and write off the £400.

Or explain that you will send them when the £400 is repaid, or you will resell them to get some money back.

Then find some nicer friends!

You really need to stand up for yourself this time if you want to retain any self respect. Being the 'better person' does not include being a doormat and getting walked all over.

Friend A will probably do massive U turn when you dig your heels in.

I would give B her ticket if she’s paid for it . Either be tough about it and sell the other ticket taking the money off the £200 you lent A or just give A her ticket if she paid for it and block and move on from the pair of them . You will have lost your money from the holiday and the £200 you lent but will be free of such rubbish friends . Concentrate then on moving forward and making some new friends . Do not lend or borrow money and in future make sure you have the tickets for your own holidays

£200 was for the holiday (well weekend 3 nights)

But you say here you were going on holiday on a Monday?

Whatever, it all sounds hard work - just drop them, they aren't very nice.

B is not a nice person. If she was, she would have given you a chance to explain.

Post her ticket. Post the other once you've been repaid. Or sell it.

Definitely do not post those tickets! Tell friend B that you won't be able to post tickets until friend A has paid you back what she owes you.

Send Friend B her ticket - she's not very nice so don't feel bad that she'll have to go on her own. Don't refund her, it's not easy to sell a single ticket (let her have that hassle if she wants to sell it)

Give friend A's ticket to someone you like and go to concert together

Don't bother with Friend A or B again

Agree with Smelly - she clearly sees you as an ATM.
If you wanted to be the better person you could B her ticket but don't give A hers. Then cut her out of your life.

Sorry I meant weekday 3 nights
The thing is it does sound like 13 year old drama but I've never wanted any of it.
She has caused it all being a stupid jealous idiot

Whatever you decide to do with the tickets in the end, I wouldn't be posting them to anyone. Not their personal assistant are you? If they want to play silly buggers, I would too.
Next time you are instructed to post the tickets, (and if you decide to give them over (I wouldn't)) tell them you will be available between the hours of x-x.30 for a courier if they want to have the ticket/tickets collected. Give them a time slot and don't make it a convenient one. These are the kind of people who would say they haven't got the tickets in the mail.

Don't bother trying to be nice, they are being arseholes to you and taking you for a mug.

Does friend A believe she owes you money for the holiday? How did she stop you from going? Did she actually physically make it impossible or did she behave like a dick so you chose not to go?

Send friend B the ticket she has paid for. Tell them both you won't be sending A a ticket unless she pays up her debts. If it becomes clear she isn't going to then you can resell her ticket.

Do whatever you like with your ticket.

I would use As ticket to go to the concert with the nice friend you said will want to go. I would give B her ticket back ( not post it as she’ll say it hasn’t arrived) as that means she either has to go on her own, find someone else who has tickets to go with or loses out, but only has the ticket not her money. It’s what she deserves for siding with A.

Tell friend b to come and collect her ticket if she wants it and a can have hers when she pays the £400 she owes you.
Then go with your actual friend and stop bothering with the other two. Clearly b is as horrible as a and neither of them are friends.

Do you really want to go to this event and have to worry about B bitching at you the whole time?
Just refund her if you can sell her ticket.

Honestly you all sound extremely immature.
Nothing you say will persuade B to change her mind about you and that's her choice.
Refund B the ticket or tell her to come and collect it from you, as a pp said she will probably pretend it's not arrived then want her money back. Sell her ticket elsewhere if she doesn't pick it up.
Then go to the concert with your other friend and ignore A & B from now on.
