SEASON TICKET DELIMMA
Posted on 9/19/08 at 11:45 am
Posted on 9/19/08 at 11:45 am
I have had season ticket for 12 years now. A friend of mine has been buying my extra 1 for about 7 years. This is the situation. Every time its time to buy the tickets I have to go to him to get the money, it’s a struggle. Its crying but damn it it’s a hassle. And then when the season starts, in order to make plans for the game I have to fine him again. Now for this season, I have not heard from him in over two weeks. I spoke to his brother and he told me he told him to call me. If he doesn’t show and I sell his ticket should he get the money? Its not the money but it’s the point. Example, if I have an extra ticket, I sell it for alcohol for the day. Should I just buy the other tickets from him?

I'm sure all of "your great buddies" here will take care of you in your times on uncertainty.
RULE 1, never ask for advice on message boards. Good luck anyway.

Sounds like you need a new friend.

advice! I am just looking for idea or other ways to look at it.

I'm sure you'll find many other opinions here with people who'll take that burden of tickets off your hands.

If the dude has already paid for the tickets then you can sell them as a favor to him and give him the money. If he hasn't paid you yet then the money for the sale is yours. If he pays you sometime later then you should only charge him for the remaining tickets.
BTW, you should get better "friends."

So he has paid you for the season ticket, but you still have the ticket? You have to get him the ticket for every game?
If that's the case, it's his ticket. Would not be cool to sell it and keep the money.

Lose that dude.

he should either commit to buying them all
or not.
You paid for all of them ahead of time,
why can he not pay for all of them ahead of time ...
then if he does not use them...is up to him to fight the fight
or not.

I had a very similar problem a few years ago. The husband of my wife's friend. She and this lady went to grad. and professional school together; very close. I decided to write him a letter on the games to share, cost etc. He never answered so I made other arrangement and the matter only came up once when he mentioned he had not been to a game in 2 years. His wife said "your were sent the letter, its your fault". Never came up again. Done, moved on!

I have a very similar situation. Hell, he may even come to the rant. All I do is give the ticket away to another friend. It's his fault he's not going to the game. I don't sell it, cause I'm not looking to make money off my friends.

I go through the same trouble year in, year out. This year I sold all of them and now I am looking for 1 ticket.
You guys are right, we probably all should find better friends.

When he paid you for the tickets you should've given them to him. It's all on him after that.

Agreed. Why don't you just mail him his tickets for the season when they come in and be done with the situation. This will end the moral dillema of whether you should give away or sell his ticket if you can't find him. Now, if he's paying you for the ticket on a game-by-game basis, that's a different story. He should be seeking you out to get the ticket, number one, and you should probably tell him that he needs to have his money to you all upfront. I don't think the ticket office would take kindly to you telling them you'll be paying on a week-to-week basis from now on.

Then it is a wasted ticket. He dont go to games. I could use the ticket for friends or family.

Hey Chauncey:
I bet I could be twice the friend that this guy is...

chauncey, ask him how serious he is wanting the ticket(s). If he ask why, tell him it has been a hassle and it would help you out greatly if he either has the money ready every year on such and such a date or if HE wants you can buy the ticket from him. I have the same problem somewhat. It's like THEY are doing you a favor bu buying a ticket.

Plus, the first post you made doesn't make any damn sense. Please explain yourself further. Has the feller paid for the ticks or not. If he did, they are his, end of confusion.

Not sure why he's bought the other season ticket and you still have it in your possession anyway.
