Plans made with shaky communication rarely hold up, and this story is a textbook example.

One woman spent months looking forward to finally seeing Pitbull with her best friend, a dream tied to an inside joke from their old dorm number. She bought two tickets exactly as planned, with no request, no mention, no confirmation of a third.

Days before the show, her roommate suddenly assumed an additional friend was also coming, insisting she’d asked for three tickets all along.

When that assumption didn’t hold up, the pressure shifted onto the woman, first to give up her own ticket, then to just go with a near-stranger instead.

But she wasn’t so sure she wanted to just go along with it.

AITA for not wanting to give my friend and her friend concert tickets I bought?

So I, F22, got tickets to see Pitbull for me and my best friend.

We’ve wanted to see him for years. We were college roommates, and our dorm number for 2 years was 305, so when Pitbull (yes, this is over a Pitbull concert) announced his tour, I asked if she wanted to go.

Obviously we said yes, and I ended up getting tickets.

She thought it would be just the two of them, but soon her roomie throws a bit of a curveball.

Yesterday we are talking about the show, cause it’s in a week, and she mentions how her friend, we will call her Callie, is so excited.

I get confused, and I ask what she means. Roomie asks me if I have 3 tickets. I say no, I have 2, you never told me to get a third one.

She’s now annoy by how messy the plans are getting.

I’ve been to concerts with Callie and Roomie before, so if she would’ve told me to get 3, I absolutely would’ve.

Roomie is freaking out cause she thought she said 3, and I said, no, you didn’t.

The two continue to go back and forth over what to do with the ticket.

She then was like, “you and Callie go.” And I was like, no, it’s gonna be harder to arrange how we are getting there because I don’t know Callie well. She’s a friend of a friend, like I barely know her.

Then I mentioned giving up my ticket, which I don’t want to do, and she insisted me and Callie just go.

So this is where I need advice.

She wants to let her roomie know that this was never part of the plan.

I want to text Roomie that I bought these tickets for me and her, and no one ever reached out to me asking if Callie should pay me back for the apparent third ticket.

I want to go with Roomie, we’ve been waiting.

I’m sorry Callie was excited, but someone else should’ve offered to get the tickets, this is not my fault.

I want to tell Roomie this. What should I do?

Sounds like poor planning on her roomie’s part.

What did Reddit have to say?

This commenter suggests being open and direct with her roommate.

Maybe there’s something fishy about this.

This story doesn’t fit well with this commenter.

It’s okay to say she doesn’t support her roomie’s plan.

Honestly, this whole thing boils down to one simple fact: two tickets were bought for two people, and that’s exactly who should be using them.

If Callie was supposed to be part of the plan, that conversation needed to happen before the tickets were bought, not days before the show as some kind of surprise. Nobody should have to scramble to fix a mix-up they had zero part in creating.

And the ask to just hand over her own ticket? This woman is the one who’s been waiting years for this, not the friend of a friend she barely knows.

There’s nothing wrong with sticking to the plan.
