Today, my brother and I were going to give our parents their anniversary gift which cost us over $3000. The gift was a trip to London in August to see a show on Michael Jackson's comeback tour. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML
Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML
Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML
Today, after planning 4 months in advance and spending almost $600 to cover everyone's tickets to the event center, all of my siblings decided to bail on my 30th birthday celebration because driving 3 hours is too much. FML
Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML
Today, my brother and I spent almost $600 to plan and throw a divorce party for our mother. She proceeded to announce that she and our dad are staying together and that we completely jumped the gun. We deserve it, but… FML
Today, I told my parents that all I wanted for my 18th birthday was to go to a restaurant in NYC for a nice dinner. My parents said no, because it would cost too much money. I came home to see my parents had bought a huge TV for $800. We already have 3 televisions. FML
Today, my parents spent more time, money, and effort on my boyfriend's birthday present than they ever have on any of mine. FML
Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML
Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML

Damn. Even if you can get your money back, that still sucks. "Hey, Happy Anniversary! Here's a trip to go see the King of Pop, Michael Jackson! ...Oh. He...died. Yeah..." Definitely a bummer.

Yeah, not so much an FML. You'll get your concert money back, they get a trip to London (it's not like it's not worth going without Michael Jackson performing there...). How selfish of you to even post this.

Give your parents the plane tickets to London, and just make sure to get a refund on the MJ tickets, I heard that the concerts were covered under insurance so just file a claim.

Who cares if the parents can still go to London? What if the only reason to go there was the show??? Can they get the money back from the plane tickets?

Oh that sucks but where did you buy your ticket from? cos if you got it from ticketmaster then you can get a refund I don;t know about anywhere else but I'm sure you'll get your money back andd they can still go to London and do other stuff

Its strange that you're the first person to mention that. Ofc they can still go to London but the reason for the destination to be London was because of the concert. It changes everything because the OPs parents would maybe have another wish for their next holiday other then London, and since there wont be a concert it will probably just remind them of what they lost out on.

Ouchhh, holy shit that ******* suckssss! You don't deserve that. Mj's death was a tragic accident. As for the trip... Get your money back for the tickets but still send your parents to England? Give them the money from the tickets for spending cash? I'm sure they'd still love it. :)
