not sure who to go with
Hey everyone. I'm in a spot of a dilemma here. You see, I have this friend who I've been chatting to online for around 2 years now and he's coming down to meet (don't worry, he's not a pedophile or anything. we've spoken on the phone and web cam and all) anyway, we were planning to see green day together and he already bought the tickets and his plane ticket. Anyway, a few days ago my good friend who lives here bought me a ticket to see Green Day. It was going to be a suprise but then he found out I was already going and had to fess up. Anyway, the next time he saw me he HANDED the ticket to me, which I now have. My good friend bought the ticket for me as a present and I don't have to pay him or anything, and I'd feel bad making him give it to someone else. But the other guy can't cancel his plane ticket or sell his ticket (since he lives in brisbane and i'm in melbourne) advice please??
thanks

Why not take both tickets. Even though you will have two tickets it wont hurt to use both of them. Or ask a friend to come along. You should hang out with both of them. That way none will get their feelings hurt and you wont feel guilty. Its not your fault you didnt know this was going to happen.

Hmmm, annoying situation. I think you should go with your net friend, definately, if he's getting a plane and all that. Tell your good friend about the situation right now, and apologise for not saying anything earlier, but then again it's not really your fault.
I'm sure your good friend could find someone else to go with him, and then the four of you could go as a foursome. This is good, in the unlikely situation of your online friend not being.... what you expect him to be.
Anyway, get this sorted out as soon as possible so you can start looking forward to the concert. Once you're there, you are all gonna be having such a great time, nobody will care who came with who. Trust me, Green day are an AMAZING live band. Try and get near the front (you lucky bastard!)
Tell me how you got on,

First of all, it's NEVER 100% safe to be meeting people online. Nomatter how many different ways you've spoken to them, it's still not completely safe. However, about the thing you ASKED about.. I would say pay him for the ticket, and then give it to another friend. If you're really wanting to meet your internet friend, there's not much you can do except go there with the friend who bought you the ticket, and then meet your internet friend there. BE CAREFUL PLEASE! Oh & have fun at Green Day! (=

Since your friend gave you the ticket, it is now yours to wield. I would personally sell the ticket to someone else and use the money to take your good friend to do something else.
Or you could invite someone who would like to hang out with him so he wouldn't be lonely. This is assuming that there is assigned seating.
If it isn't assigned seating, it might be a good idea to carpool with your friend so that you have a way home in case you need to not be with your friend who is coming down.

Well, it's really who you care about the most and who you want to go to the concert with you. I know that you want to be considerate, but this really is one of those situations where someone out of the three of you will be offended or insulted and one of those people may end up to be you. Tell the guy that handed you the ticket your situation. Tell him where the guy is flying from and try to make him understand that you really and extremely are sorry about it and maybe that he could go himself or give someone else the ticket that he wants to have the ticket to go to the concert. Just try to make him understand . Just try. Really try and make him see how much you care and how really sorry you are.

Dude, you're online friend is coming down to meet you from somewhere else for the first time, and I think thats great in itself! Your good friend, well, you see him almost every day right? So while I know you'd feel bad giving back the ticket, tell him that the person you're already going with you dont get to see that often - or take him with you to meet your online friend. But in the end, I realy think that you shouldn't sort of pick your good friend over someone coming in from somewhere else to meet you. BUT - do buy your friend something as a thanks, or promise to make it up to him later or something, but all in all, yeah, don't just keep the ticket and stare at it - maybe you could give it to someone else. Good luck, and have fun.
