Would that work seeing as I paid double price for the ticket?

I think I might be depressed anyways... and have no friends really... well none I share much with and am bothered about...
Tbh i'm not one for big celebrations, but I don't really wanna spend the evening of my 21st birthday queuing up on my own, standing on my own, just generally being on my own.

aww dude, I didnt do anything for my 21st and not really the celebratory type but in my head i keep saying to myself im okay im okay im okay, but really i was kind of sad, i cried because i kind of realized how much i was a fool.. i wish i did something.......its all too depressing. try and find someone kk

You have Pulp tickets and you can't find a friend or family member to go with you. Sorry op buy they're idiots. It's a ticket to see Pulp.

Where is the gig?

Well, you can always have your friend pay the normal price, £30 or whatever it is, cover the difference and never tell them it cost you £120 for the two tickets. You reduce the amount you pay, and you get someone to come with you. Winning!

Good idea

I may do that.



And thanks to all the very early birthday wishes

Sell the spare ticket and go have a good time. I've been to plenty of Gigs on my own. Believe it or not, it is possible to have fun on your own, especially if you're seeing your favourite band.

Really, there is no-one, and with it gonna cost £60 there's going to be even less.

Even though it's Pulp, a very popular group, I wouldn't be surprised if people at my college hadn't of heard of them. They're all into modern chart/hip hop/rap etc... and they defientley wouldn't be able to or want to pay that much.

My parents wouldn't want to.

You don't know until you try, advertise it. And try not to judge the people at your college too much, some of them may surprise you. They may find a new favourite band, or you may find a new person you share interests with. And gigs are not all about the music, it's about the company as well.

Drop the pessimism and get on with it.

I booked 2 tickets to go see N Dubz for me and my boyfriend last year (6 months before the gig) and by Easter we'd broken up, and none of my friends like them so I took my mum and still had a great time.

That's a fantastic image

Lol. Well my parents are 50+ and not fans, college people are very 'city' and probably haven't heard of Pulp (alot of them probably wern't living here in the 90's tbh) and they defienlty wouldn't be able to afford the price, even at face value I doubt it.

I might post on Facebook, but have hardly anyone on there, and all it really is is college people..

Flog it on to someone in the queue?

[The-Dream]

Either sell the other ticket on ebay or whatever or if you want someone to come with you, give it to them for cheaper.

Once the gig actually starts then it doesn't matter if you're with people or not. It's just the waiting around before.

I would be fine on my own, but it's just that it's gonna be my 21st..


I'm a bit skeptical about selling the ticket... I want to sell it for what I bought it for... And feel a bit unsure and bad at selling it for about double.

I'm assuming someone would still buy it for that though..

I knew before hand it might be on my birthday... I think it's the whole ticket price that's making it more complicated for me.

if it makes you feel better it was my bday yesterday and my family didnt even say hbd #

Am I the only one getting confused about the ticket price issue?

So your Mum bought the tickets for you at double face value? As you're so concerned about the price, I imagine you have to pay her back? But then why would she have bought two for you, unless you asked her to? Or, if she bought them as a gift, why does it matter about the cost?

If you're going 'on your own', then that extra ticket will be going to waste anyway? So what do you have to lose by asking if anyone fancies it? Worst case scenario, they don't pay anything for the ticket (which, if no one came, you'd still be in the same boat) and you get some company?

Wow op, I know you're fed up but stop talking about the value of the ticket! If you are really concerned about getting the money back more than anything, then sell it on ebay or something.

If you are more bothered about finding someone to go with you just ask your friends and don't worry about asking them to pay you back, it's a lot of money but just be generous and forget about it, at least you know not to do it again.

Perhaps suggest your friend to buy you a drink before or after or something as an alternative to paying for the ticket. I know it isnt the same but yeah.

If you really can't find anyone, just sell it and go alone, gigs usually have great atmospheres and people are pretty friendly.

You could always sell both tickets and try to rebuy a normal price one before the gig?
good luck

I was at work, so I asked my mum to buy me tickets.

She ended up on Seatwave, got the tickets (everywhere sold out so quick)... she was really suprised at the price, when I told her seatwave wa ticket exchange she was like 'oh ****'.

It's just that paying £120... it's a lot of money.


I might be overthinking. i'm pretty depressed anyways. And this just puts into light how lonely I am.
Paying normal price for tickets would have made this thing a whole lot easier for me to process tbh.

Sorry if that doesn't make sense.

1) Take both tickets and flog one off to a tout
2) Use said money to get drunk
3) ????
4) PROFIT!

[stephie.u3]

surely asking for two tickets in the first place you must have had somebody in mind for you to go with?? who have you gone to concerts with before?? just think a bit and honestly ask around because you honestly can never know unless you ask.

and like somebody said before...you're either going to go on your own and have a ticket that went to waste or you could invite someone along for free or for thirty quid. either way you'll be a bit out of pocket but you have the option to be out of pocket and alone or out of pocket with company on your 21st (go figure).

i think by being depressed you're looking at the whole situation in a negative light and thinking nobody will go....ask somebody now. do it.

Scalp ticket and use "I'm on here on my own and its my birthday" to pull or make new friends whilst your there?
