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 ?

OP you’re a lost cause.

...and never socialise with them again?

Cheesespreading · 15/01/2020 14:23

I don’t think I’d return either ticket. Take your other friend along and sell the third one. Fuck em. If you can’t do that, either refund or post B her ticket but don’t even entertain A. Go and enjoy yourself and let them be the ones to miss out this time.

hammeringinmyhead · 15/01/2020 14:24

Don't post it. She will say it didn't arrive and ask for a refund. Even recorded she can deny it's her signature.

Cheesespreading · 15/01/2020 14:25

I see you’ve made your decision. It’s a good one and rightly fucks over A. I hope you block and cut them off completely after this. Don’t be a mug, again..

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 15/01/2020 14:30

If your giving ticket back to B don’t post it. Hand it to her personally,

Bbomb · 15/01/2020 14:32

The older I get the more I realise some friends just aren't worth your time. Don't give your friend the tickets just sell them. Also if your new friend has taken the world of someone else without talking to you do you really want her in your life? good luck XXX

yabadabadontdoit · 15/01/2020 14:38

Why are you selling A ticket when you can give it to your other friend and go to the concert?

whatdoidorr · 15/01/2020 14:42

That's what I meant -my other friend will buy it

Make sure you give her the ticket personally either tell her to pick it up from yours or agree to meet somewhere so there's no doubt she's got it.

Babynut1 · 15/01/2020 14:47

I would sell all the tickets, pay nice friend back her money and keep twat friends money.

BumbleBeee69 · 15/01/2020 14:48

OP you are letting these bullies walk all over you...

alwaysmovingforwards · 15/01/2020 14:50

Just checking here... are you 18+ adults or still at school?

angieloumc · 15/01/2020 14:51

Babynut there isn't a nice friend in those two!
OP I do hope you're not going to try and convince B how 'nice you are', you'll be wasting your time.

Retroflex · 15/01/2020 14:55

@whatdoidorr "I wish friend b would meet up with me or even answer the phone but she refused."

You've tried to get in touch with her to explain that friend "a" still owes you £400, and as such you will only be sending friend "b" the ticket...

You will be going with friend "c" and as you were informed "I'm no longer welcome to go to this concert with them" by friend "b" herself, then the same applies in respect to her being a third wheel. -Surely she would be understanding and not be a hypocrite--

Retroflex · 15/01/2020 14:57

@whatdoidorr by sending, I mean meeting up with, and having a witness to you handing the ticket over, because neither of these two seem trustworthy!

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 15/01/2020 14:58

All that proving you're 'nice' will cost you even more money.... To these dispicable people....

Go on your own... Sell the other tickets to recoup your losses.

IamtheDevilsAvocado · 15/01/2020 15:01

Oh and please take this awful woman to small claims... 400£ is a lot to lose....

It won't cost much to do it and you'll have more than enough evidence that you paid to go and the messages leaving you without a way of going on holiday...

Please cut them out of your life...

You're worth so much more

ChaosisntapitChaosisaladder19 · 15/01/2020 15:03

After reading you're update you sound quite immature. I'm beginning to wonder if theres drama that follows you around and I'm not surprised Friend B has decided to back away. Glad to hear you're sending her ticket.

katy1213 · 15/01/2020 15:03

You were mad to pay for tickets before the last debt was settled! Stop being such a doormat. You don't have to buy friendship - and 'friends' like this aren't worth having.

Sparkle2020 · 15/01/2020 15:07

They sound so immature!

PineappleTart · 15/01/2020 15:08

Tell friend B she can collect her ticket at a time convenient to you. Do not go out of your way for either woman. Neither are your friends.

DancingWithWillard · 15/01/2020 15:08

B has told OP to post the tickets though, so if they get lost in the postal system that is entirely B's look out. OP offered an alternative (to give them in person) and B insisted they be posted.

If I were you OP I would reply simply "B, as you requested, I have posted you your ticket to the concert. I take no responsibility for it hereafter. A, as you still owe me £400 I will be selling your ticket and taking that off your debt".

Then block them both.

Fatarseflanagan09 · 15/01/2020 15:15

She’s not your friend she’s a thief and the other so called friend is her accomplice.
