Friend and I agreed to go to a concert together. I paid for both of our tickets and she agreed to venmo me the money for hers after her next paycheck; they were quite a lot of money, so I understood she needed time to pay me back. In the past, she's paid me back for things and it wasn't an issue. But now, she has not paid me and it's a few weeks past when she said she'd give me the money.
Today, I awkwardly asked when she's gonna give me the money. She told me that she changed her mind and doesn't want to go anymore, so she doesn't want to pay me. Her reasoning was she didn't consider how much travel and dinner and other expenses would cost and it was adding up too much for her and she needs to pay her bills. This is way past the chance I'd have to resell my tickets, and I can't find any friends who wanna buy one ticket (or both) off me.
So I'm out a few hundred dollars and am extremely pissed at her, she's telling me it's a shitty situation but not her fault. She "can't control" having to pay her bills, but the thing is it's not like something popped up unexpectedly or there was some kind of emergency that caused a unique situation where she had extra costs or something. If that were the case, I'd have sympathy. Nothing here changed or was a surprise... I got these tickets over a month ago now. (also... I got my own damn bills. Getting that money back would sure help me out).
When I got angry with her she told me I'm being irrational and that she's "trying her best" and stressed over money. But I feel like I got left in the dust, out a few hundred dollars, and that she was irresponsible and shouldn't have agreed to this in the first place. She should have thought about it before agreeing. I also gave her WAY more time than the time we initially agreed on. Am I wrong? She keeps telling me it's not her fault and I'm overreacting, so I honestly can't tell if I am or not. What the hell do I do here?
The one thing I DO know is I'll never do this shit again!!!!!!!
TLDR: My friend and I agreed to go to a concert; I bought both tickets and she agreed to pay me back. Right before concert she doesn't want to go and doesn't want to give me the money for her ticket. I can't resell. I got mad and she says I overreacted. Not sure what to think.
