So a few months back a friend of mine asked if I wanted to go to an up coming show by a band that I really like, we wouldnt be massively close but got on well. She bought the tickets I gave her my money the same day. Now there has pretty much been little contact since because we have very seperte lives, wouldn't see each other that often and live far away. I contacted her to see what the story was, did she want me to drive or what and no reply, contacted her on Facebook to ask did she get my message still no reply despite the fact that I can see she is online.

Now I am very thick over this, I trusted her and she seems to have swanned off with my money. Anything I can do? I suppose going to the guards wouldn't do anything would it? Cúnt.

Have you tried calling her about it?

Private number, if you must

They might - it's theft. Or at least fraud (on a small scale, admittedly)

Is drivign over to here place and dealign directly an option?

Just email/facebook her this....You'll soon get your money back...

NSFW, (bad language);)

up for anything

Ring her from another mobile or better still a landline - people are less suspicious of a landline although your local code might show up. Worth a try though. You could always inquire publically on her FB page rather than through texts and messages.

Sadly not, in the time since she bought the ticket she moved away and while I know what town she is living in I have know idea where.

The message I sent was posted on her fb wall asking did she get my text, will be trying to ring tomorrow to see if she'll answer. Really hoping there is an innocent explanation.

If it's the 16th it's Mumford and sons.


Prob did you a favor.

Pester her relentlessly.

Probably spent the money on her crackbaby. Is there no other mutual friend or family you can get in touch with to ask about the baby?

Why not openly reveal what a thieving fcuker she is on your Facebook page. She deserves it.

Why would you a) go anywhere with someone you aren't close to, have no contact with, and live far away from?

And b) given question A, why would you trust them with your money?

I wouldn't do this. What I would do is contact one of her friends and ask them about it, telling them she hasn't replied and if they could try to get through to them.

I would say she will contact you soon enough. Doing it on Facebook in front of everyone is a bit childish.

We would have been close but drifted apart recently as we were living very different lives. We lived far away because we met in college, both in the same course and she dropped out and started going out with this new guy, bit of a whirlwind romance moved in together after a couple of months hence the drifting and why I don't know where she lives anymore. I trusted her at the time because she seemed like a very trustworthy person and I would never have thought she would do something like this.

Have messages on Facebook from when we were planning on booking the tickets and a text message from her saying that the tickets were booked. If all comes to all I will be taking this to the gardai in the hopes that they will help me out.

Lando Griffin

Demonstrat.
Go to the concert and stand outside with a large mono coloured flag with
"XYZ stole my Mumford tickets" written on it.

Shane-KornSpace

Just post on her FB Wall asking why she isnt answering her phone and whybshes not responding at all and that you want your money back!

ALso keep messages that may state that money had exchanged hands but not tickets.

I had to do that before. Lovely old Garda called Garda Drebin sorted it out for me. Ring Store St. and ask for Frank Drebin.

I'm guessing the new boyfriend got your ticket.

I wouldnt go to the gards. They'd probably laugh. How much could a Mumford and sons ticket cost? €20?

It was €40 and frankly I don't care if it was 50c, it's a principal of the thing, she STOLE from me.

westendgirlie

The concert's not happened yet. She may still intend going with you but is having a crap week and is in no mood to talk to anyone. It happens.

Give her a day or so.

Drebin's a bit of a ledge.

Name and shame.

They're great live so you'll be missing out if you don't get that ticket.

There's a billy connolly joke that could hold the solution... but only if you know what seat number you're booked for.

I wish I could find it on youtube!

Damn you Fast I was just about to post this:mad:;)

He was telling an audience about when he was playing a gig in Dublin a suddenly there is a cufuffle a couple of rows from the front.

Turns out a guy had his house broken into and the took the car keys and stole the car.

In the car were the tickets he had bought for the Billy concert in dublin.
So the victim waited until the night of the show.
He knew the seats he had bought and begged the security to let him in.
Low and behold there was the ****er who stole the tickets and the victim gives him a good digging:D:D

But the twist was that the poor guy in the seats had bought the tickets on the street outside the theatre and had no idea why he was getting the head boxed off him

I'd address the Mumford & Son issue first.

No offence, but I highly doubt she's "messing with the wrong one". You just came on to an internet forum to piss & moan. If you really wanted to sort this out you'd have done it ages ago, not a week before the concert.

Remembered that bit just after posting but was sure that a fellow Billy fan would correct me:D

Those tickets have only been on sale since 28/09/12.

That's a seriously fast paced life she lives. New friends, new man, new home, etc in a little over two months & one week.

You might go see her and find out she has been replaced with a new actress who didn't know anything about your or your tickets.
