dictum meum pactum, "My word is my bond" and all that.
Give them what you have agreed to & hold your head up high from the moral high ground....or be the sort of scum that doesn't keep their word: it's your choice0 -

In an attempt to be equally as vindictive as they were I am happy to give them their money back and keep the tickets for myself, however they are now threatening to seek legal advice. They may well have a witness to this Gentleman’s agreement but do I have any LEGAL obligation to honour it?
Cheers in advance!
For Christ's sake, how much are these tickets worth?The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0
