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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, my friend and I went to see our favorite band in concert. We walked at least a mile from our parking space and stood in line for two hours. My friend was supposed to have the tickets in her purse. She actually had, but she left her purse in the car. FML
Today, I was supposed to be going to Edinburgh to see my favourite band live. I was expecting to be picked up at 8 a.m. for the drive there, but I woke up to a text saying my friend bought tickets for the wrong city. The show he paid was for 2 days ago. FML
Today, I drove six hours with a friend to see one of her favorite bands in concert. We were turned away at the door because the online site didn't say we had to be 21 to enter. I drove six hours back with nothing to show for it but an empty gas tank and useless tickets. FML
Today, I went to a Red Hot Chilli Peppers concert with my best friend. We've been looking forward to this for over six months. She spent the entire pre-drinks, pre-party, and concert glued to her phone. FML
Today, I bought tickets for my friends and me to go to a concert. While I was in the shower, they ditched me and took my girlfriend. FML
Today, I paid for the girl I love to come to a music festival with me. Fifteen minutes after we got there, she was hanging off the arm of some muscly rich douche who barely glanced at me, except to call me "little simpy dude." She giggled as he whisked her off to the VIP area. 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 made a trip that would usually takes three hours, but took over five thanks to holiday traffic, to comfort my best friend after another breakup with her horrible boyfriend. We'd planned to go and watch the fireworks; instead she completely ghosted me in this strange town so she and him could "work things out." FML
Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML

Did you keep it a surprise from her and she wasn't aware you had bought them?

I did. I actually left clues and stuff like a scavenger hunt and each clue was closer to the tickets. She knew one was for me and one was for her but I was moving around my house and didn't want to keep them at my home incase I lost them. We made planes for me to drive over and pick her up then go from there but when I arrived I was told she had already left, with both tickets, and her boyfriend.

Judging by your username, I'd guess this wasn't the first time this happened. If you want advice from strangers on the internet, I'd advise you to stop spending money on her for a while.

Unless she had the tickets and the passes, I don't see much of an issue with this. I hope you were smart enough to keep them with you and not her, otherwise what else did you expect? Why are you friends with her again?

I was moving my house around and didn't want to lose the tickets. So she kept them.

You shouldn't have left the tickets with her, especially since you bought them, which is I'm guessing what happened. Also, you should bill her for them.

And that's why I don't understand why people leave their own ticket with anyone other than themself.

I feel so horrible reading this FML. I still want to know the score, like the rest. Did she know? Did she have the tickets? I still feel so bad for you regardless. Even if you weren't clear on the situation. You still must feel low, no-one should have to feel low. Sending you sympathy and happy thoughts. Hope you still went to the show and had a great time (If they didn't have your ticket) x

I have so many questions. Did you give her the tickets quite a while back? In which case did you not think it was odd that you hadn't made any proper plans? Or had you and she still left? Did she know how expensive they were? When you gave her the tickets, did you make it clear one was for you? In which case, why didn't you just keep yours? Because no matter what the intention or the right thing to do, if you gave her both of the tickets, in the end of the day both of them are hers and hers to decide what to do with them. It sucks and she should've at least asked or assumed the second one was for you, but I feel like there would've probably been some signs to indicate this. And if there weren't then honestly good riddance! I've had to cut some 'friends' out of my life and it sucks for a while, but it's better for the long run!
