Friend gave me a ticket to an event she could not go to. Do I pay her?

🤔 maybe it's just personality types No right ir wrong follow your gut. If it was my ticket and i couldnt go I'd be touched by a Thankyou gift, it's do what you would be done by 😊

If me 😊 I would offer to pay
If says no get a Thankyou gift as said
If really don't fancy it ask first if there's anyone else who may like to go

Bottom line I think it's if people are 'flush' or have had struggles with money that they automatically are reserved. Understandable and certainly not judgmental as Iv been in that boat for years, not now, but still hoard more than I should etc from when times were hard

Definitely offer, and give her a bunch of flowers or similar if she refuses payment.

Yup. That's what I'd do.

I think it depends on whether going is being done for your own benefit or as a favour to the friend who has been let down by the other one. In the former case I would pay, but in the latter I think it is up to the dropper out to take the financial hit, as it is she who has created the situation.

I would offer to pay for the ticket . Infact I’m in a similar situation. Friends planned something I was a bit meh about and said no . However someone has dropped out and offered me her ticket which I’ll pay her for . It’s not my sort of thing but the other ladies are great fun and I enjoy their company.

For clarity, another friend would have been alone if I didn’t go. I enjoyed it but would not have chosen to go.

That’s different, I think. In that case, the one who dropped out should bear the cost.

I would offer to pay for the ticket and if she declined, I would give her a lovely little gift ..

Yes definitely offer something

you could offer she will probably say no but a bunch of flowers and some chocs would not hurt

I'd pay if I wanted to use it, but would refuse it if I didn't. I don't think it's fair to take it and not pay, but neither would I pay to see something I didn't want to see.

Why did you accept it if you didn't want it?
Now you have accepted it of course you should offer to pay

If you plan to use the ticket you should offer to pay or as Cabbie said give it to someone else.

Offer, I’ll bet she says no.

If you want to use it, it would be kind to offer her something towards it. But you said you didn’t fancy it earlier. Maybe pass it on to someone else who would enjoy it?
