Nope not friend A or a friend or a relative of either. I just think that it is funny that some people would make a judgement about something with out getting all of the information. Sometimes you just have to make a decision and live with it. No matter if you like it or not. But it is your own fault for putting your faith in someone you do not know very well. I am sure you will learn from your mistakes. I mean friend B might feel bad about this but have you even asked her. Jovi2003 how long have you known either one of them? How often do you talk to them or hang with them? I am not trying to start something but before we make a judgement we need to here the whole story.

Well, the day of the sale, I talked to her and all was well, so I blew off the general on sale. When she got home, another friend of hers had assumed that she was going to buy her a ticket, and next thing you know, there were 2 of us wanting 1 ticket. Her other friend fought with her over this ticket, but I didn't. I thought we could all come to some beneficial conclusion for all concerned. Well, this other friend was completely unbending, refusing to compromise at all. It was either her way or no way...she implied that if she didn't get the ticket she would cease to be friends with my friend (this other girl and I don't really know each other very well). My friend wanted me to buy a ticket off of ebay so we all could go. I felt like I didn't have to pay a ridiculous price for a ticket since she was supposed to be getting me one, and she didn't want to alienate this other girl (I assume because this friend of hers pays for her transportation to most Jovi shows, hotels, etc. This friend also bought her the signed lithograph for $100 when they went to Philly in March). I ultimately ended up forfeiting this ticket because it was a no win situation. I am pissed off that I missed the general on sale because of her....

So....tell me, Jovitalkers, how would you have handled this mess? I haven't spoken to this friend for several days...we have shows coming up this summer where I will be sitting by them...what would you do?

BTW...this was not going to be this girl's only summer show...it will be her 7th.

Thats sucks!! If they tell u, they r gonna get u a ticket - they have made a commitment. Esp. when it means u won't go to the general sale. If someone did that to me - I'd be very annoyed. hence it is their responsibilty to ensure u get it. Her friend shouldn't assume, unless she has been promised one. If u were both promised one, then - despite the fact these ppl were doing u a favour,... if they tell u they r gonna get u one, it becomes their responsibility!!

I hope it works out for u!!

Do you realize that with these two statements you are totally contradicting and subsequently nullifying every single point you're trying to make? "We need to make a judgment call; we need to hear the whole story" -- preceded by "It's your own fault for putting faith in someone you don't know very well." Call me stupid, but how do YOU know if Jovi2003 knew Friend A very well? If you ask me, your initial statement sounds pretty judgmental. But I digress...

Maybe you did not understand but I said that before we make a judgement call we need to know the whole story not we need to make a judgement call. From the statements that she has made I can assume that they don't know each other very well. Just like everyone assumes that friend B is the one to blame. I think that all of them are to blame for not communicating between themselves.

I already said I didn't know B very well. All I know about this is what I've been told. And no, I've never spoken to B about it, but that's not from my refusal to do so. You seem to have formed alot of assumptions of your own, for someone who's not involved. This isn't too hard to figure out.

I think that if you promise someone a ticket, you follow through. It's called common courtesy.

My advice would be to cut your loss's and forget about them both. You dont need a "friend" like that, and at least you wont make the same mistake next time, even though youve learned the hard way.
