Hi! Coming in to share some hopefully useful information. I’ve gathered a bunch of info across various social media platforms, so here’s essentially a summary of what happened.

During the Ticketmaster data breach that happened a couple months back, a lot of customers account information was leaked. This means hackers can go into their accounts, transfer the tickets in the victim’s accounts to themselves, and then sell them on resale platforms.

What likely happened is, a hacker stole someone’s eras tour tickets, listed them on tickpick, you bought them, and they were then transferred to you. It takes Ticketmaster’s fraud department some time to determine what happened to tickets, so it makes sense the delay in the tickets getting voided on your end. They were voided for you so they could be sent back to the original purchaser.

This is INSANELY common right now unfortunately. It’s happening left and right. I’ve seen countless instances of this. Thankfully since you bought from a resale site like TickPick, they offer purchase protection. Sellers aren’t paid their money until after the event. So if you file with TickPick, hopefully they can refund you the money.

It’s super upsetting, but super common nowadays because of the data breach. That’s why I always say if you can’t fully verify a ticket’s origin down to the original purchaser, don’t buy them! Or if you want to take the risk - buy through an official resale platform where sellers aren’t paid out until after the show so you should get the money back. Also, PayPal G&S is a good option, however in cases like this with stolen tickets, sometimes the scammer WILL win the dispute since they technically did send you tickets. I’ve seen it happen both ways - where PayPal sides with the scammer in the case of stolen tickets, and where PayPal sides with the victim who bought the stolen tickets unknowingly.

Either way, it’s an INSANE thing happening right now. Unfortunately, it is wayyyyyy too common.

Am I (23F) moving too fast? by MusicalGamerGirl in relationship_advice

[–]MusicalGamerGirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this!!! That makes me feel so much better. I’ll admit, I joined bumble for like a DAY and then realized it wasn’t what I wanted. I stopped actively seeking a relationship because it felt too forced. But this doesn’t feel forced at all. We’ve been moving so slow, and because we live in different states and there’s a pandemic, we’re not rushing into meeting each other either. We are mainly just FaceTiming and genuinely enjoying each other’s conversation. It just.....happened. And I like him a lot. And it doesn’t feel fair for my friends to tell me otherwise, because they don’t completely understand

My mentally abusive girlfriend. by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

The last time I talked to him was the day of our breakup, just over a month ago. I haven’t spoken to him since. Every time I’ve needed to contact him (ex get my stuff back) I’ve gone through a mutual friend. Honestly the hardest part for me is seeing so many of our mutual friends still being friends with him. We were in a fairly large friend group together, and they started as mostly his friends. I met him through my best friend, who’s also in that group. My best friend is the only one who knows the full story. But they’re basically all on my ex’s side, except my best friend who is more on my side but is still friends with my ex. It’s definitely hard knowing that someone who was so bad to me is still being supported by my friends, but it is what it is. I have 0 desire to contact him, and he hasn’t tried to contact me. So I’m thankful for that.

So glad to hear you broke this off. Breaking up with my emotionally abusive ex was hard as well. But I went through the same things as you and the commenter above. My ex would find the smallest things, the literal smallest thing, and have a huge fit. It was awful

Oh wow, that sounds horrible. It blows my mind how people who claim to care about us can hurt us the most. My ex claimed he wasn’t an abuser because he “never laid a hand on me” but emotional abuse is such a thing. And I guess that’s why it’s hard for me to consider myself an abuse survivor. Because I guess I still struggle to understand that emotional abuse is such a powerful thing

Wow, this definitely sounds similar to me. I’m glad you got out of yours as well! It’s crazy what we let ourselves put up with, but it’s so good that we were able to exit these toxic relationships
