To pay or not to pay?

If your friends cannot go to the concert then the tickets will go to waste unless someone else uses the tickets. The money has already been paid for the tickets anyway and there is probably no way your friends can recoup that money uner normal circumstances. In this case they offered the tickets to you and your boyfriend and if there was no mention of mney, then it sounds like a gift to me. However if you are concerned about the situation you might be able to offer your friend something, if not the entire $100. If your friend asks for the money then you will have to tell her that you cannot afford them as much as you would like to attend the concert. Then it is up to your friend as to whether you still get the tickets to attend the concert. Maybe you could give your friend some money for the tickets, even if itis not the entire amount but it would depend on how your finances are. Or at a later time invite them around for a meal, if you do not have a lot of spare money. If in a few weeks you do have some extra money, maybe you could take yor friend out for a meal. There are any number if was you could thank your friend for the concert tickets if you cannot afford to pay for them. Good luck and I hope it goes well for you and that you can enjoy the concert.

Maybe it's a gift. If they didn't mention anything about selling them to you, then maybe it's a gift because like you said, they couldn't go themselves anyway. When they drop the tickets off I would just not say anything about money. Why? Because they didn't say anything. If they want money for them, then It only make sense to me to tell you or your boyfriend on the phone first hand about the money. Don't say anything unless they do.

i do not think you should pay because you never asked for the tickets,they just gave it you on their own initiative.

hi,missybear! well, i think u should take it as a gift if ur friend wanna present the ticket to u..the ticket will be a waster of paper if they can't go. however, i think u better ask u friend whether they give u for free or not..if they do want to sell the ticket to u and u can't afford it, tell them the truth. other than that, u should be glad to accept ur gift..

I think I would wait to see what they say first and then say "what do I owe you?" That way you'll know if you're supposed to give them any money. Most likely though they won't expect you to give them any money.
