Hello everyone first TIFU and it actually happened today. So back last year I got a really good Job for my age, early 20's and making alot more than people my age who dropped out of college usually do. So because of this I decided to get real nice gifts for Christmas for my whole family, everyone big things they've wanted for a long time.
One was my father, who is big into racing and has wanted to go to the Indy 500 since he was a child. I looked online at the Indy 500 website and bought what looked like 2 really good to let's for the Indy 500, which is this coming Sunday.
Now this is where the FU begins, me and and my dad are planning a huge trip for this starting tomorrow, Multi hour road trip and such, I thinking to be responsible, look to grab our digital tickets that should have been sent to me. I look on my emails, and dont really see it, I go to the website and come to find I accidentally bought tickets for the previous weekend and don't have any for raceday this Sunday. Then in my freakout of not having them accidently bought two different other versions of the tickets, both terrible seats.
Now I'm down easily a grand at this point. And I have no idea how to break this to my father. I sadly let him know, sobbing a little that we only have terrible seats now. He kind as he is, let me know it's fine and after calling a few people managed to get really good seats for the two of us. While it doesn't fix the issue of the money I spent, and now he bought the tickets himself, me and him still get to go on the trip.
TLDR: Bought wrong tickets to a race and spent too much money overcorrecting.
