I would really like to see this show, and have a ticket for the 28th, but have to leave at the 27th due to circumstances.
Does anyone have a spare ticket for "Handle with Care" for the dates 25-27 for me to buy OR is willing to swap it with a ticket for the 28th? Thanks!!
I need some advice. During my solo travels I will visit a friend who lives abroad. She's keen on me visiting her and showing me all around in her city, and I will stay on her couch. However, during those dates she has already booked quite an expensive theatre show to go to with friends, one that doesn't interest me at all. She said it was sold out and I, being relieved, said "no problem at all, I love having a night by myself just going to the cinema". I didn't say I wasn't interested in the play anyway, as she was so enthusiastic about it - neither did I say however I would have really liked to go.
Now she looked up the website and found out there were still a few (very expensive and in bad locations) tickets left. She just sent it to me saying "yay, there are still some tickets, you can purchase one". I can't really say I don't have the money as she knows I'm traveling and booking Airbnb's and attending music festivals etc on my trip. However, I'm conscious with my money and feel really bad spending this amount on something that I really dread having to attend. What is good manners here? Should I join and buy the ticket as I'm their guest (I'm of course saving on sleeping arrangements)? Am I very wrong to be a bit surprised by her just sending the thing and expecting me to buy a ticket - when I hosted someone recently at home in my city I surprised them with tickets to a show, so as a host I found it my job to pay for them...Looking forward to your advice how to correctly handle this situation while offending no-one (neither myself...). Thanks!
