Today, I found out on Facebook that my supposed best friend bought a concert ticket to a show. The concert ticket cost the exact same amount as the plane ticket she told me she couldn't afford to come see me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent hundreds of pounds buying my best friend concert tickets to see our favourite band, complete with a meet and greet. I drove over very excited to pick her up to take her. She had already left. With her boyfriend. FML
Today, my ex-best friend reached out just to be a dick. We all had tickets to a concert and she decided that she didn't want to go. She said that I could find someone to sell her ticket to, and I did, but then she sold it to someone that I'm not friends with anymore, and told me that she "can do whatever she wants :)". FML
Today, my long distance friend-with-benefits informed me she's now in a relationship with an amazing guy. I should be happier for her, as even I admit he is perfect for her. Too bad I just spent over a thousand dollars on plane tickets to visit her. The tickets are completely nonrefundable. FML
Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML
Today, my friend, who had begged me to buy them a plane ticket after being stranded overseas, blocked me. They didn't even use the ticket. FML
Today, a friend texted me to get a ticket and go to a theme park with her tomorrow. I bought a ticket and didn't hear from her until 5 hours later to say she was sorry, but she doesn't think she'll be going. It was $65 and non refundable. FML
Today, I bought my girlfriend two tickets to a Broadway show that was coming through town she really wanted to see. I couldn't attend with her due to work so she said she would take her mom. I found out later she took her ex. Now they're back together, and I paid for the date that made it happen. FML
Today, I generously paid for my best friend to go to an event she's wanted to see her whole life. Instead of thanking me, she brought her children and made me pay for them too, complained that I hadn't chosen the seats she wanted, then blamed me when she got on the wrong train back to her hotel. FML
Today, I thought I was doing a nice thing when I spent hundreds of dollars to get my friend a plane ticket home. She yelled at me when I gave it to her. Turns out, she planned on spending a few more months freeloading off me. FML
Today, after having a fight with my BFF, she invited me to come along to a party. I found out later that she'd only invited me so that when returning from the event, we could take a taxi and split the cost. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe she didn't had money because she already bought this concert ticket...

@9- She probably read something her friend said along the lines of "I bought tickets to blink-182 today!"

how about this: visiting you, any time. your friend seeing his/her favourite band very rare. stop being so selfish. perhaps you could spend YOUR money visiting her...

Assuming that this isn't fake because of how expensive the concert ticket must've been, I'll explain why you need to grow up and not be such a selfish bitch. Did you think about the other expenses involved when visiting someone? Did you think about her having to take off of work/school? Did you think about her side of the story at all? Nah, probably not. If you haven't figured it out by now, YDI

I was actually thinking the same thing, yeah. All the extra expenses are probably what she couldn't afford, not just the plane tickets. Still, FYL, OP. Sucks to be let down and all, but try to have some perspective; it's a much bigger deal to fly out and see someone than it is to just duck out to a concert for a few hours, you know? Better luck next time.

YDI for deciding to have a best friend that you have to fly to see. Hate to break it to you, but best friendships don't typically last long when you're that far apart. Also, a lot of concerts are cheaper than plane tickets. I've gone to concerts for ten bucks.

Priorities. I guess she doesn't feels as close to you as you feel to her, but that only means you need to get a best friend who feels closer to you... or live with it. Everybody has priorities. You can visit her too...

You really think that you're going to win against a concert? Oh hell No! Not when you're such a bitchfuck Stop complaining. You have friends, surprisingly enough. Let's not lose them by being so pathetic, yeah? Yeah.

There's also a time thing going on-- A concert lasts a night, but going out to visit you would possibly last days- people have to miss work, school, etc.. Maybe you're just not worth it.

I think most people are missing the point. Her friend probably lied to her - she could've told her "I really wanna go to this concert this weekend - I'll come visit another weekend" muppets.

Hahaha! Seriously, she can't afford the ticket after she pays for her own expenses for the things she wants to do. Stop being so selfish. Some concerts, especially really expensive ones are a once in a life time thing.
