Am I being a silly bint?

I'm sure the extortionate price of the tickets is for two reasons:

1. Because Coldplay is the choice of ageing doctors who desperately want to be seen as still trendy and edgy, when they are actually balding men in their fifties. So they can afford left boob prices.

2. To pay for the inevitable counselling fees for the poor roadies and technicians after a week's worth of shows.


Truly music to slit your wrists to.





Although, if you really wanted to get fair revenge, try listening to Archive, then go and see them in concert. Chances are it'll involve a trip on the Eurostar and a hotel stay. And you'll stand a good chance of sitting in the bar with them after the show.

I think you'd have more right to be annoyed if your partner bought the tickets for him and his brother, rather than the real situation of your partner getting a ticket as a surprise from his brother.

I agree with VestanPance, but I still would have felt annoyed, but at what, I couldn't quite explain!

OP - You have every right to be upset that OH has the chance to go and you don't but I think you have gone about everything the wrong way by causing an argument over it.

It's not his fault...he was only given the tickets as a gift. Not a lot he could do about it. What would you do if the situation was reversed and you couldn't afford a third ticket? Would you expect him to have a strop about it and make you feel awful?

I'd just like to add OP: better to have a moan on here than to make your bf feel bad about a special treat.

Coldplay are awful, truly awful. Alan McGee described them as producing music for bedwetters.

That made me choke on my soup. So apt a description it hurts.

All I can say is that if my girlfriend came out with me and my brother, it would be extremely awkward.

But he wasn't given the ticket for a gift, he has to pay the brother back for it.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but if you were a friend of mine, saying this over a coffee, I would say the same.

I think you are being a bit immature over this as the brother arranged it as a suprise - your OH didn't even know. It wasn't aimed at you, trying to upset you.

Do you want his brother to have an impression of you as being pushy and have to take over a lads night out? He is probably hopeing to spend some quality time with his brother, not end up gooseberry.

I can only say how I would feel if I had arranged a lovely day out with my sister and her OH got all a*rsey about it and muscled in on it. Although you are couple, healthy couples need some time out - or it is too consuming.

Arrange to do something of your own with your own friends on the same night, enjoy yourself as an individual as well as in a couple, and stop being so clingy and demanding. Causing an argument over something that is out of your boyfriends control will not endear you in his eyes.

This thread has restored my faith in the human race. I thought I was the only person in the world that thought Coldplay were a pile of rubbish.
