My friend (F34) wanted to talk/hang out while I (F36) had family visiting from out of town and was traveling with them. I wasn’t immediately available but tried to coordinate a time to have a phone call.

Friday: Friend asks to hang/call. I say family is in town and I’m getting ready to travel with them. I offer to call when I’m traveling two days from then and ask if she’ll be available.

Sunday: She didn’t reply, so I didn’t call.

Wednesday: I ask if she would like to talk that evening. I’m still on vacation but found myself with some alone time. Her: “No I’m good.” Me: “Is everything okay?”

Saturday: She finally replies and says, “I think this is a good summary of how I feel: it would take you 15 minutes to talk to me over the phone and it's really disappointing to me that you aren't capable or interested in trying to show up for me when I ask.”

I replied with a long text apologizing: “I'm sorry you're feeling that way.
I understand why that felt disappointing. I did want to talk to you, and I realize now l misunderstood what you were asking for. I thought you wanted a deeper, more focused conversation since we couldn't hang out, and I didn't realize that even a quick 15-minute call would work.
I'm sorry I didn't show up the way you needed in that moment.
I do care about you, and l also know I'm both capable and interested in showing up for you.
I was trying to find a time when I could actually be present, and l missed that you needed something quicker and sooner.”

She hasn’t replied yet, but I’m bracing for more anger on her end. Now I feel like I over-apologized and took on too much blame. But I could also be the asshole for not calling. AITA for not being available right away and trying to schedule a call for later?

Hi all — I’m hoping someone here (or maybe SeatGeek 👀) can help because I’m honestly stuck.

I purchased tickets through SeatGeek for Dog Day Afternoon in NYC on Saturday, and the tickets were never delivered before the event.

I called and messaged and no reply, so my friend and I had to scramble to the box office for replacement tickets. Finally they replied after I was already seated and all they offered were credits. Like I would ever want to use SeatGeek again after this experience?!

Also, I got to the theater, the seats listed on my order were already occupied. So clearly someone was scamming.

Since then, I’ve:
- Waited on hold for over 2 hours
- Reached out via chat and email multiple times
- Submitted all the details and screenshots

At this point, I’m just trying to get a refund to my original form of payment.

Has anyone dealt with this kind of situation with SeatGeek? Were you able to get a refund instead of credits?

And if anyone from SeatGeek is here, I’d really appreciate someone taking a look at this—happy to provide whatever is needed.

Thanks in advance 🙏
