AIBU DSS & Oasis Ticket

[Idontbelievethatanybody]

Last Christmas we bought DSS 17 a pair of GA oasis tickets, plus flights and hotels. For him and a mate / GF. DH and I also got tickets but we couldn’t all get GA and we were just lucky to get them. Now 9 months on DSS hasn’t asked anyone. Everytime we ask, it’s I haven’t decided yet. Flights are now starting to get very expensive (his flight and hotel is booked), he doesn’t want to take his GF because she’s seen everyone and doesn’t think she would appreciate this 🤦🏼‍♀️. Last weekend he said he wants to take his Dad, and for me to take one of DH’s mates or his brother. We’ve asked, but both are working or don’t want to spend the money on hotel rooms etc. I’ve asked my friends and all are either working or have tickets. We’ve tried to get another GA ticket and all stand together but needless to say - impossible. Oasis have romantic significance for us and DH doesn’t want me to be on my own. AIBU to push him to take a mate/GF and stick to the original plan or sell his GA ticket and let him go in alone?

Surely you can find someone to go in with you?

Sorry, what does GA mean please?

I've tried Google but still unsure.

General Admission? So standing & the other tickets are seated?

We saw them at Wembley & they were AMAZING 🙂 worth every penny 👍🏻

I'd have thought DSS goes alone if he doesn't have anyone he wants to go with. Is he OK though? Its all a bit odd that he doesn't want GF to go and there's no one else who'd bite his arm off!

Of course! Thank you.

All I got was 'Go Ahead' and 'General Anaesthetic'

It doesn't sound like he's overly bothered about going to be honest.

Can you sell his 2 tickets and just go yourselves? Give him the money that you get for them if they were his Christmas present

Are they for Wembley? I

I’ll buy them?

@seenabeena- for Sydney ! If not they could have been yours!

I just sounds like he isn't fussed could he You sell them? Or put a post up on your social media ask if anyone wants them.

I think there is a degree of a teen not being able to plan and also not to pick favourites across his mates. Which is why I can’t understand why he won’t take his GF - fancy an all expenses paid trip, including a very nice hotel and concert! Why not jump at the chance of that?

Sydney?? As in Sydney Australia? What an amazing present. Who is this girlfriend that he thinks wouldn’t be arsed to flight to Sydney to see Oasis. I can’t fucking stand Oasis but even I would go.

Is the person going with ds expected to pay for their flight and hotel? If so I think this could be the reason - he’s too embarrassed to ask people

You sure he's not struggling to find a mate that wants to go to the other side of the world? Not sure whether you would be going too or whether the two 17 year olds would be travelling alone? While they aren't "too young" per se, not all 17 year olds have travelled abroad with friends and not parents before, and it's a bloody long way for their first time, even if it is a chance for someone who may never have the money to do a trip like that themselves.

We live in Australia - not Sydney. Flight and hotel paid for DDS and plus 1.

sorry cross posted re flights. Sounds like he’s not bothered I’d sell his concert tickets .

Give him 48 hours to decide who or he goes alone and you sell - if you can - the other GA ticket

Next time ( if ever again ) give him deadline of a month after buying the tickets to decide who to get the best airfare possible

Did you not consider that OP probably lives in Australia...

Yeah i was going to say this, they might live in Australia.

Has he actually asked the GF? At that age, I’d have walked barefoot over hot coals to spend time with my BF , and a paid for flight and hotel room thrown into the mix would be absolutely the cream on the cherry on the cake. I can only assume, if he hasn’t actually asked his GF, that for whatever reason, he doesn’t want to go with her. I would have thought he could find another friend to go with, though. I’m sorry to say that your son is being very ungrateful.

Is he even an Oasis fan? I'm not sure my late teens/early 20s kids would be desperate to see them as they didn't grow up listening to them so it could be that his friends are really not particularly bothered to go.

My DS will come with him! He adores Oasis. Says their concert in Cardiff was the best day of his life

I think that’s really horrible that he wanted to exclude your DH.

time to be much firmer op. He’s being a brat.

He didn't want to exclude OPs DH, he just wanted him to be with him during the concert and that someone else used the seated ticket together with OP.
