A friend who recently lost her husband was offered tickets to a show by a good friend of mine. My good friend is going to a funeral, tickets can’t be exchanged, and didn’t offer the tickets to me. The friend asked if I wanted to go with her, she forwarded the email to me and there was no mention of payment and because of the circumstances I agreed to go. Unfortunately the friend looked up the price of the tickets and mentioned this in her reply. Now good friend has come back, knowing it’s me going, and has asked for the full price of the tickets! I was only going to keep the friend company and because I thought the tickets were free. It’s now going to cost me quite a bit when I factor in the train fare.
AIBU to think that good friend shouldn’t be asking for the full cost of the tickets as she would have lost all of the money anyway? She had already booked alternatives.
