My brother and his friends were getting ready to watch a broadway show that was playing that night. A few hours before the show started, one of his friends unexpectedly backed out and was no longer able to go. My brother now had an extra ticket and was having a hard time finding someone else to replace the friend who backed out. My brother was the one who bought all the tickets and could not get a refund for the single ticket.
I just came home from work, so I was tired and didn’t want to go out. I had other plans for the rest of my night, and I needed to work again the following day —so I didn’t want to be out too late. When my brother asked me if I wanted to go, I expressed no desire to watch the show and told him that I didn’t want to go. However, I felt bad that he couldn’t find anyone else to go and I didn’t want his friend’s ticket to go to waste, so I caved in and told him I would go.
As we were heading out, money was somehow mentioned, and I told him I thought he was giving me his friend’s ticket for free, but he refused and said he was expecting me to pay for the ticket. We ended up arguing, and I reminded him I didn’t want to go in the first place, so I didn’t. His extra ticket ended up being unused and wasted.
My brother will ask his friend to pay him back, but the question is:
AITA for thinking he was going to pay for my ticket to a show that I didn’t want to go to, because he couldn’t find anyone to replace his friend?
