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 ?

You have 2 options give B her ticket and sell A’s to recoup some money or refund B her money and sell all 3 tickets to recoup some money. There is no way I’d ever hand the tickets to A,

Neither are your friends.

Have a bit of respect for yourself and find better friends.
You’re not being a bitch if your actions are justified, which they are.

who actually paid for the tickets, I'm very confused. You paid with your card and "friend" B transferred you the 150 for her and A's tickets? Or You paid with your card and "Friend" B transferred you 75 and you're waiting for A's payment?

If the first - I'd probably refund and keep the tickets to sell on.
If the second - I'd probably send B's ticket by DHL (or recorded delivery) and sell A's to your friend who really is a friend.

You can't really drag B into A's debts. But you don't have to be a doormat either.

Dear God OP,
Have some self respect.

Neither of these girls remotely resemble a friend.

Refund B.

Block A.

It's highly unlikely she will pay you.
What is it with people handing money willynilly over for holidays.

You have choices

  1. let these non friends decide how and what you do with your life
    Or
  2. send Friend B her ticket by signed for post so you can prove it was delivered (never trust people like this). Inform friend B that friend A owes you x amount from her similar behaviour last year and you will be selling her ticket to recoup your losses.
    Or
  3. keep all 3 tickets against your previous losses and let friends a & b sort it out between themselves.

    Then go to the concert and have an awesome time, and stay away from friends a & b for the forseeable future.
    In all likelihood, friend A will start to repeat her treatment of you on friend B when she no longer has you to manipulate.

    It's pathetic, she's a bully. Now you know her intention you can act on it.

Neither are your friend! Give B the ticket, keep As ticket. No matter what you do B won’t change her mind. Tell A that’s towards what she owes you and you’ve knocked it off her bill. And NEVER be friends with either again and you’ll be happier for it as A can no longer destroy your friendships. You all need to grow up a bit too.

Friend A and B and me and others were at a bar.
My ex boyfriend was there,she went over to him and told him that I was jealous of him dancing with other girls and I was going to go off it with him (??????? )
After he told me that I said to her (I see your up to your old tricks again,I know your a snake and you have proved it again.
Then she turns round and says to friend b ..(see told you she was a psycho you have just said you were fuming at your ex boyfriend )

OP I don’t even really understand your most recent update, but why are you still even debating what to do? The answer is simple

Camt believe you are 35. This is what life was like at school. Easy one, grow the fuck up, get some respect and new friends and act your age. You'll enjoy life a lot more.
Post bs ticket. Sell as ticket. Go to concert with nice friend you said would come. Don't talk to a or b again and get a normal life. This is not normal and you're facilitating it which makes you as bad as them .

Your updates makes you sound even more childish. Are you really in your 30's? The way you all speak is less mature than my 15 yo DD.
Don't have anything to do with the pair of them again and seriously grow up!

There's an old saying: "Fool me once; shame on you - but fool me twice? Shame on me!"

Neither of these women are your friends, OP. If 'B' is refusing to listen to your side, not allowing you to explain the truth to her, and is actively believing that not only is 'A' the wronged party here, but also that they have the right to forbid you to attend this concert... then you're truly better off without either one of them in your life. They cannot stop you from attending. You paid a ticket agency for the tickets, regardless of whether 'A' and/or 'B' paid you back - and you hold the tickets. They don't have the right to tell you what you can or can't do, or where you can and cannot be on that night.

In all honesty, if I were you, I'd text back something like: "Your ticket will be left at the door on the night so that you can collect it. Please do not contact me again. I deserve so much better than you and ['A'] in my life." - and then casually forget to leave the ticket. Please note, that's singular ticket, not plural. Invite people who actually are your friends - or even just the one friend you mentioned in one of your posts, and leave just one ticket (for 'B') at the door... and wait to see what happens.

I can pretty much guarantee you that within a year? Friend 'B' will know precisely what you're going through, because once she becomes complacent in the friendship? 'A' will do to her what she's done to you already.

Refund Friend B, then block

Tell Friend A you are not refunding her to help make up for the money she owes you, then block

Those friendships are over. Get new friends.

Go to gig with nice friend and sell the other ticket.

Am I the only cow who would post out the ticket for B on the day of the concert and then blame the postal system?!

A can whistle frankly, and B did pay for the ticket so she should get that back.......not your fault if its too late to use it.

They are the ones being nasty so don't go to the trouble of having to sell a single ticket, or worrying if you are going to bump into B.

Go with your nice friend and block the other 2 who are clearly awful human beings.

She paid you for the ticket but you did not ask for the £400 at the time. Did they cancel your holiday and get money back?

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 15/01/2020 14:14

I’d say, “FriendA owes me £400. I’ll take the £75 off the money she owes me and she can refund your £75 ticket to you directly so now she only owes me £250. See ya”
