What to do

    Hey, this isnt my problem but my brothers really.

    The thing is, my brother got tickets for himself, his girlfriend and my other brother for a certain big Irish band's gig tomorrow. When he ordered them, he ordered them for a neighbour and his wife aswell (they are all really good and close friends). That was back on the 30th December I think, and before ordering them they had all arranged to go in the same car, our neighbour and his wife's car. Today, my brother gets a text from the neighbours wife saying that HER brothers and his girlfriend, who got tickets 2 months ago, are now going and need a lift and she basically told my brother to find another way of getting there.

    My brother hasnt texted back, and I cant believe that the neighbours have been so ignorant towards them, i really wouldnt have seen this coming. They organised the whole thing as a group, with my brother ordering all the tickets off his credit card expecting to get a lift with them (after they had said they could).

    Its not getting a lift thats the problem, its ditching them a day before the concert without a problem that is pissing me off (i seem to be pissed off more than they do!). They could still go to the concert, as I said, my brother drives so it wouldnt be a problem but as he ordered all the tickets at once, they wud still be sitting beside the neighbours which he now doesnt want to do.

    What would you do if u were my brother in this situation?

    You need to edit the band name out of your thread as it's an @$& promoted event.

    I'd drive up and switch the ticket with a tout.

    Go to the concert, enjoy it and not bother with them in the future.... If it is something he has looked forward to since December I would not let those people stop me from going.

    No mention of illegal ticket sales here please people.

    I personally think that it's a little bit of a mountain out of a molehill. Yes, it was a wee bit sh*te of the neighbours, but people make and break plans all the time. Had he been discussing it recently with the neighbours, they might not have taken the talk about a spin as seriously as he did.
