Anyone else get dissed for the midnight showing?

[Fulit]

One of the only local theaters that is having a midnight showing had their advance tickets on sale yesterday. I was going to get two for me and the wife, and two for my friend and his girl. He disappeared on me yesterday, so today I physically went to his work to make sure he wanted to go and to collect his ticket money. He said he was broke, so I said I'd spot him the money. He lives and works 30 miles from LR, so needless to say, by the time I got to the theater from going to talk to his dumb a**, they were sold out. D'oh! I know, I shouldn't have waited on him. Now I get to wait till noon the next day.

Anyone else got similar stories, complaints, post 'em here, misery loves company.

my friends and relatives always diss me when it comes to getting concert/movie tickets. i get tired of hounding them for money, so i usually go alone. however, i know my tight wad cousin loves star wars, so i just bought him a ticket to go with me at the midnight show. i know i'll never see that cash again, so i won't even ask.

I know the feeling Derek. Sometimes you have to just do it yourself, because people will mooch off you no matter what.
