Well I guess we know what your promises are worth then.

If your boyfriend breaks up with you two weeks before prom, with prom tickets bought, you probably aren’t going to prom with him. If your fiancee breaks things off a month before the wedding, you can’t expect to still go to Hawaii on a honeymoon. And if your boyfriend dumps you before the Superbowl, he might not let you still have that ticket. And if your husband vows to be faithful to you, once he is your ex, he’s going to sleep around.
The girl is a C U Next Tuesday kind of girl.
And Colibri should have moved this to the pit.
Someone’s probably lying.
But if this does happen, I’d say it’s a grey area. If he’d bought a car with the intention of giving it to her, but hadn’t yet, it would still be his. If he’d bought a car and already specifically given it to her, it would be hers. If he’d bought a car for both of them to use, but she used it more, I think it may be up to a court to decide how ownership was apportioned.
Here’s it complicated by the fact that he would have intended them to go together, but it’s not clear how that would be reflected in the physical posession of the tickets. Are they his, but he was going to use one for her? Are they owned jointly? Are they owned one each? I don’t see how she can possibly claim more than one of them – he surely didn’t intend for her to take someone else to the superbowl.
I think by default they are probably his. The main message I take away is "don’t spend $8000 on tickets to see a sporting event, and if you have significant joint finances with someone, have an exit strategy, just in case "
My promises are worth gold. Just don’t change the conditions of the promise.
This. I actually got a ski trip to Copper Mountain and Vale out of this situation. I met a guy who’s fiance broke up with him after he’d paid for the reservations etc for the trip. He and a buddy were going instead, and I was available and got a last minute invite. And it was fun.
Maybe I wanted to post something about another poster.
Yeah, sure.
Isn’t the story above (true or not) that she dumped him?
The tickets are his. She left. Too bad, so sad, she has no “right” to the tickets.
As long as we’re doing hypotheticals, what if he lied about having cancer so she would dump him, so he wouldn’t have to share the tickets? What then, huh?

Well then, hypothetically, she still has no right to the tickets and he’s an asshole.
Any truth to the rumor she finally got the tickets back - today.
Where’d you hear that rumor? Was he lying about his contest, then?
From where I sit, there’s this guy who claimed to have these Super Bowl tickets that he was going to give away, but won’t say who he gave them to, what section they were in, never produced them…
He also says he made up the part about it being this particular girl who dumped him, but there’s some other girl he won’t name.
He’s just enjoying how gullible everybody is. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he never had cancer.
Did you bother to read the thread? The “girl” claims the man is making this up, and the whole thing seemed pretty suspicious by the time you posted.
