Eek! I don't know what to do! Can you help?!

Hey! I have no clue what I am going to do. I'm a bit stressed over this and hope aomeone can give me any ideas.

OK, I'm inviting my cousin down to Florida to stay with me for a few days or so. She'll be coming about 4 or 5 days before I start school. I'm hoping that while I'm at school she won't mind.

BUT I am attending a concert in Tampa, FL...quite possibly while she is still here. I have 3 tickets. 2 are together and one is seperated. These tickets were bought for myself, a friend, and my mom. We did not know of these possible plans when we got them.

Here's the problem: My mom offered to give my cousin her ticket but then she'd be by herself. I'd give her MY ticket but then she'd be sitting with someone she doesn't know, and I can't give her my friend's ticket because A) she paid for it and B) that would be quite rude to uninvite her. I can NOT buy another ticket so that's out of the question.

What I am asking is, is there anyway I can make this work? Should we rotate seats or something? Share a seat? Could she do something else while we are at the concert (hope it won't come down to THAT though...)?

Any help would be greatful! We haven't mentioned the concert ro her yet...we haven't even mentioned the idea of her coming down...we're just trying to figure out what to do before we say anything, and so we don't stress out of this. The concert is only like 3 hours long, butwouldn't it be rude to leave her at home while we see CLAY AIKEN (or whoever your AI favorite is) in concert?!?!

HELP!!!!!!

If you haven't mentioned the trip to her, maybe you can rearrange the dates so that you will go to the concert before she gets there or after she leaves ?
Also, and I may be wrong here, but maybe she isn't into that & won't want to go ? ( wishful thinking, I'm sure )
Good luck !

Ask her what she thinks.

Be up front about the situation with your cousin. Tell her what you told us regarding you, your friend and your mother originally going to the concert. Then ask her if she even wants to go. Explain that her seat will be in a different location from yours. She may not even want to go, but it is always best to be honest and straight forward.

Good luck and let us know the outcome.

thanks. I wondered if she'd even want to go, however she'd be at home 70 miles away probably by herself. If I had someone staying at home (my dad MIGHT be there, but probably would get off work late) it would be different. We're both only 15 and I don't want her to feel uncomfortable.
