HELP! Dilemma - Do I give my best tickets to my cousin and niece?

Hi I got a real dilemma on my hands....

I luckily got hold of a pair of tickets for BLOCK 106 ROW FF two days ago for the 11th Aug. These are the best seats out of the 4 concerts I am going on. The next best are BLOCK 106 Row H (16 rows back).

My cousin and her little daughter (aged 11) have come to visit from the US this month (staying till the 20th Aug). My cousin is a major Prince fan and never seen him live however she is not willing to go unless she takes her daughter too.

Do I....

1) Give the tickets to them
2) Buy them upper tier tickets on ticketmaster which are still available which will have poor views in comparison.
3) Be selfish and keep the tickets for myself ? I am going to 3 concerts in total.

PLEASE HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO !!!! headlp

Keep your tickets for yourself and a friend...if she insists on taking her daughter explain that you'll be glad to purchase two other tickets for her (whether you want her to pay you back is up to you)...but do not under any circumstances let her ruin your experience...been there, done that...and I'm still pissed and can barely talk to the person...

I agree. I really think you are an admirable person for even contemplating giving up your best tickets out of the 3 nights.

If you are willing to buy upper tier tickets (which I think is very admirable as well) then I would do that. At the end of the day (it gets dark) it's the thought that counts! At this late stage, I'm sure your cousin and niece would understand that you couldn't get them the best tickets.

As has been said, don't give up your chance as it really isn't worth it. It's a nice thought though and ultimately your choice.

Personally I would rather give them the tickets to go on one of the other nights you have instead of buying another set but then I guess you can only make it to 2 shows. Still, at least you'd have the tickets for the show with the better seats!

From what I've read on here, the upper tier seats aren't all that bad and if your cousin is a major prince fan, I'm sure just the sheer experience of going to one of his concerts will be more than enough!

Top Tier seats are not bad at all. I was there on 1st August and had a great view.

Obviously being by the stage has it's advantages, but I think the O2 is a great arena. Not a bad seat in the house in my opinion (for what that's worth).

So, to address your question biggrin Get them tickets from TicketMaster
