One of my friends was planning on attending a concert this weekend. She had asked me to come along, but I said no, because I just can't afford to buy a $200 ticket right now.
She was planning on going with other friends, but she found out that they were planning on doing something really stupid, and didn't feel comfortable going with them. She begged me to come along, and claimed that a relative of hers had given her a free ticket, which she wanted me to have. I said I'd go.
Then, she admitted that her parents had just gone online and bought me a concert ticket, because they wanted their daughter to have someone they trusted to go with.
I am VERY uncomfortable taking a $200 ticket. She told me not to worry about it, and not to try to pay them back, but now I feel like I HAVE to. I work part-time, am trying to save up for living expenses in college, and just don't have $200 right now. I don't want to ask my parents for it, because they bought me an expensive birthday gift and I don't want to take more from them.
So now I'm sort of in this position where I feel like I need to pay her parents back, but I didn't want them to buy me the ticket in the first place! What do I do?
Thanks :) (link)

Take the the ticket and appreciate it. This is what friends do. If the parents expected money in return, they wouldn't have bought it in the first place since you already said you weren't going. I say just enjoy the concert.
