A Dilemma
|
A Dilemma I received a surprise in the mail yesterday. Opening the envelope with the return address of my ex, I discovered inside contained the two concert tickets he had purchased for us last year to see Fleetwood Mac for my birthday in March. It should be noted that Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorite bands and I have never seen them perform live. When we parted ways, he mentioned the tickets and I advised him to keep them, take someone and go, or sell them. They are worth about three times the face value of what he paid for them because the concert is close to being sold out. I am really not sure what to do. I feel guilty going to a concert we were going to attend together. The concert is on a weeknight so none of my friends can attend due to work obligations. I am not seeing anyone romantically right now. What would you do? |

myelin36 I believe you are about to get a stampede of LesbianPersonals men begging to go to that concert with you. In an alternate universe I would happily be one of them. Do you feel the ex was gracious in sending them? If so tell him a polite thank you. After that you have a few weeks to find a date. It could be a fun goal.

I've seen FM once before (w/o Christine McVie) it was an excellent concert. What would I do? I would go with you.  When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

GO! Even if alone. It is a fantastic production.

I would try to sell a single ticket, go by myself and return his money for the other ticket. I went to a concert by myself once because I got one ticket as a gift and it was sold out. I still had a good time. I'd do it again if it was a band I really wanted to see. You can always post an ad and see what kind of offers you get for the ticket. Just keep in mind that whoever buys it will be next to you at the concert so avoid any CG creepers.

I feel guilty going to a concert we were going to attend together If you won't enjoy the concert, then give them away, sell them or send them back. How about donating them to a charity? They could raffle them off and raise money.

He gave them to you so you could enjoy them. So do it.

I was told years ago, that which is freely offered can be freely received.

Well they will be of no use to anyone after the concert so you either sell them or go. I would go with you but I might not get there in time! I have seen them & I would go see them again for sure!

I'm sure you can find someone to go with you, perhaps a girlfriend or coworker if you'd prefer to keep it simple. Heck, depending on the circumstances of the break-up, you might even go with the ex!

If you parted ways on good/decent terms, and the tickets were given without any malice etc. I'd accept the gift as a token of gratitude of better times and 'Thank' him for them and take someone who also appreciates Fleetwood Mac, be it a friend, relative, co-worker etc. Just don't 'burn' the ticket. And send him a note of 'Thanks' the day after the concert. Just so you know, they were recently here in Winnipeg and they failed to play my all time favorite Fleetwood Mac song (Edge of 17) even though Chrissy is now back touring with the band. I was EXTREMELY disappointed as they didn't perform it the previous time they passed through (just under 2 years ago) when Chrissy was not touring with them as yet.

They could raffle them off and raise money.  Do you think you'll look back and wish you'd have gone, regardless of the circumstances? If so, go, if not then let someone else have the pleasure of the seats.

myelin36 replies on 2/20/2015 7:20 pm: I have too many safety concerns with attending the event alone. Arright. Tell me "when" and I'll go with you.

I'd go with sell and split. Or.....I need a vacation. I would love to go with you.
| |||

Go, with no reservations. As previously suggested, sell the single ticket or find someone to go with you. Concert seats are like airline tickets, once the plane has left the gate, your extra ticket is worthless. You shouldn't have any trouble finding a guest.

No dilemma. You like the band. You were supposed to go with him and now he's out of the picture. Go enjoy. Make some memories.

Though, I am glad the wife of the bass player is back with the band She wrote some of the greats!

I would return the tickets to the ex with a nice thank you, but, no thank you... What did you decide to do?

Hmmm, from your replies it seems you are not going to go to the concert. Are you on good enough terms to simply call or maybe email your ex and tell him you can't use them and ask if he would like you to return them, sell them or as has been suggested give them to a charity? Seems that would be the easiest on your conscience. Of course that opens up the possibility that he may ask you to go with him. I gather from your replies that is not something you want to do. I'm sure you can turn him down gracefully if it comes to that though (may be better to use email if you would have trouble doing so on the phone). I remember listening to Fleetwood Mac on eight track back in the seventies. They were a favorite of mine also. Vive La Difference
