in Debt-free wannabe
After my Robbie ticket drama (one of my "friends" held me out for months and months before finally giving me the £100 she owed me)

I have just booked 6 front row tickets for Rocky Horror Show and now have £29 to collect off each of my friends

AHHHHH why do I do it?! Fingers crossed they all pay up on time this time.

Although I am well excited and cant wait!

    Fabulous! I'm so jealous!

    btw- why not collect the money off your friends before you book the tickets?

    Yeah you should just go on your own!
    Perhaps you could go busking in your outfit and see how much you make from a rendition of "I'm Just a Sweet Transvestite."

    i had a problem with the foo fighters back in june, a mates mate dropped out at the last min (2 days before) so we offered the ticket to the original guy that was supposed to be goin but dropped out after his GF couldnt go (her ticket we managed to sell) and he faffed around til the night before we were going and i ended up trying to sell the ticket to non-existant touts at the gate. i still have the ticket now and i'm down £100 as i had already booked a room and train fair as well as the ticket.

    I'm afraid that I have to tell you off too Loopy :naughty: - not a DFW thing to do.

    Now it's done, however, I would keep an eye on ebay (you can set up favourite searches) to see how much the tickets are going for as well as try to find some friends to take them off you.

    Don't leave the tickets unused - if needs be, tout them outside!!!

    Once they are sold I hope you enjoy the show!!!
