Kelly, I wasn't saying anything about forgetting the incident, just that no matter what a person has or doesn't have going on in their lives, it seems pretty impossible to forget to inform him about the change of mind, when in fact beautifuldistortion said that he was receiving messages saying it was still okay. That's not forgetting, that's just saying the opposite.

True - I really didn't mean to cause a drama - however the last few posts have been amusing

Name & Shame!!!

You should have come with me, I had a spare on the night or touted one for £10, as they had too many the touts.

Hmm, I know and before I found out who it was I would have totally agreed. Now I know, I refuse to believe they'd done this purposefully. I believe there must be some sort of explanation for it, again, it probably won't make beautifuldistortion feel any better (rightfully so, really), but there will be one, I'm sure.

If there is a good explanation, then it would have made sense to message him with the explanation and apologise instead of leaving it.

Yeah, I think it's a bit weird that the person hasn't responded to this as they must have seen this thread. Fair enough if they forgot or whatever, but they should still apologise as they obviously really upset and let down beautifuldistortion.

I agree with Luke. You have been very dignified. You were well within your rights to moan and I can clearly see the point you were making.

Yeah, an apology is definitely in order. Even if there was some unforseeable reason why they weren't able to get the ticket to BD.

Agreed. Has the person been online since this has happened apart from to comment on the gig?

Definitely. It should be done privately, yes. But even if it was just a misunderstanding (which I'm more than willing to believe it was, all I know of the person in question is their username, so I'm in no position to judge when I don't know them), I still think it should be done just because of how obviously upset beautifuldistortion was over the matter.

Being frank, I don't like that tone.
I made it clear I wanted the ticket, I received replies saying that was fine.
I didn't overly push the matter due to the persons circumstances, but was always willing to purchase the ticket and at one stage I stated it was fine if the person had changed their mind, to which I received a reply saying they still wanted to sell.
Can't be much, clearer, fairer or more considerate can I?
I think you are making this into a drama!

I never wanted sympathy or to upset this person or I would have named her outwardly. I wouldn't be treated like this in person and I feel my politeness has been taken as a weakness.
The person managed to remember to go to a gig and post about it here, a PM explaining a change of mind wasn't going to hurt! I'm hardly an ogre.

I hope you will get an apology via PM in due course BD. It's only fair.
