To think this could have been a put down?

[waterretaw]

My friend has asked if I want to go to Glastonbury and said to invite whoever I want. She went this year and loved it.

I met up with two different friends and said hopefully I’m going to Glastonbury this year and it’s an open group so if you want to come?

Instead of just saying yes or no, friend said in almost a sneering way “good luck getting tickets for that”

When I said my friend actually did get tickets this year she did look really taken back. I just felt like it’s pretty obvious that it’s not a guarantee to have tickets.

This seems just like a simple conversation between 2 people. Not sure what your question is, or the point of your post sorry.

Well yes good luck getting tickets to that. Unless she’s already got tickets for next year your friend is being reasonable in her response. You’re peculiar for thinking it’s about down though.

Surely everyone knows that it's very difficult to get Glastonbury tickets? I'm sure my response would have been similar if someone had invited me to go with them.

It's just a normal thing to say.

Doesn't sound as though you like this person very much though.

I think there is a type of person that just enjoys being a bummer in all situations. My brother is one, my mam calls him "the voice of doom" because he will find some way to poo poo anything anyone says or does. If you're going to some nice gardens, he tells you the weather will be shit. If you're going to a concert he'll tell you he's heard they're rubbish live. If you're going somewhere on holiday, he'll tell you a story about his mate's brother's cousin who got mugged there by a giraffe wrangler.

Some people are just miserable bastards OP, I wouldn't let it bother you.

I wouldn't call it a put-down exactly but it was a bit of a blunt and rude response. Even if she wanted to say that it's hard to get tickets and thought you were jumping the gun she could have done so more politely or gently.

How is that a put down ? It’s notoriously hard to get tickets for it.

This could have been a put down

Are you wondering whether to be offended?

It's incredibly hard to get Glastonbury tickets.

You might be lucky enough to get tickets, you might not.

But it's not an event that you can guarantee getting tickets for. And that separate individuals can also get tickets for.

Therefore completely normal response

How on EARTH is that a put down?

Sorry what's the problem?
