How far out is it? Did she not confirm with you before purchasing? Can you move work instead?

Just tell her that work is very important for you right now. And that you’re very thankful for her having bought the tickets but that you can’t make it this time.

What ended up happening, op?

Its next Sunday. I just got this job and it’s only for the next 3 weeks. And missing a day, I lose $300. She told me the concert started at 5:30 and that it only ran 2-3 hours. Meaning I could get back by 10, go to sleep and then be up for work the next morning. Looked at the tour schedule last night and the show doesn’t start till 9:30-10 at night and is a 3-4 hour show. It’s 2 hours away. So I wouldn’t get home till 3-4 am

Bring it up with her asap and ask if she can ask anyone else to go with her. You’ll need receipts though of her initial thing she told you so she can’t deny it.

Oh I have then. But I just feel bad. Like I did buy her and I tickets to a concert before and then she got these for us. I just messaged her. But I’m worried she’ll be mad

Has she replied? What did you say?

She just responded with “oh. Wish you would’ve said something sooner.” But I just found out that the show starts later at 3am
