MiaMckenz Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I paid 4 tickets to a comedy show last March for myself, my boyfriend, my cousin and her wife. I'm 26 and my cousins and his wife are 34. I'm close to my cousin's wife (we talk and hang out all the time). So I paid for the tickets back in March ($80 pp) because she asked me to buy them for her and her husband and that she'll pay me back before the comedy show. Well, the comedy show was last Friday and they still haven't paid me back. She didn't even ask me how much she owes me last Friday, but my cousin (her husband) did. He asked me and I told them the price, but they still haven't paid me back. It would be nice to get reimbursed for those tickets, but I don't really need the money but its the principal behind it. I would never do that to someone -- i would feel so obligated to pay them back immediately, especially if I hadn't paid them prior to the comedy show. I would make sure that I had the money to pay them back the day of the show. So, I haven't communicated with them regarding paying me back for the tickets because i feel like I should not have to do that at all. Again, it's the principal behind it. I don't even know how to go about handling this situation or just let it slide. Link to post Share on other sites
TaraMaiden2 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Wait until the end of the month; they might need to budget, and if they get paid then, that's when they'll reimburse you... If you get nothing, suggest an evening out. Their treat... Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'd shoot them a quick e-mail. Something along the lines of It was great seeing you on Friday. Had a great time at the comedy show. I hate having to do this & wish I was in a position to treat you, but I'm not. Although I was happy to purchase all of the tickets, I did so with the understanding that you would be paying me back for them before the show. If you could pop a check for the two tickets in the mail, I'd be most grateful. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Lois_Griffin Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Since you say you talk and hang out with your cousin's wife all the time, sending an email would just seem odd. When you see her, I'd ask her if she's able to pay you because you'd like to pay your credit card down as the interest keeps accruing each month. You're right - she doesn't have to know that you've already paid it off (if you have) or that you used your debit card and didn't use a credit card. Doesn't matter because that's not the point. And I agree. If someone were kind enough to purchase a ticket for me, you'd better believe I'd be extremely aware of it and want to pay that person back as soon as I possibly could. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
