Due to see an old school friend mid January. We have non refundable tickets booked for a show. We meet up twice a year, which usually includes a weekend away, show, meal, and having a really lovely catch up.
I am now completely broke, and cannot afford to go ahead with our plans. Not going means I will lose the price of the ticket (non refundable). But I can’t afford the price of the travelling, staying somewhere, the meal we planned to go beforehand, etc. I am self employed and I have lost around 50% of my regular income, I am struggling to afford my housing costs/bills and losing the £40 seems like a preferable choice to still going ahead with our plans and losing far more money.
My only issue is my friend losing out on the show and her money as it is not refundable. WIBU to cancel despite knowing it means she will miss out on her ticket price too (unless she decided to go alone?)
Thanks in advance - I feel really shitty for considering cancelling, she’s a lovely person and I feel like a bit of a shit friend.
