Unreasonable?

So J and I have arranged a wine tour for this weekend.  We got a bigger limo so that the cost would be less per person and we're picking up the tip. We arranged it all and are willing to help out with the cost because we really wanted to do this. 

Last week, J sent an email to everyone asking them to confirm with him.  We had one extra seat on the limo so we've been scrambling to fill it and I think we're all set with that.  But then we get an email from his friend today that his date can't make it, just him.  I'm pissed because that each person costs $75 and he didn't offer to pay for it.  

I told J to tell him that since he waited until the day before the wine tour to tell us this that he's either responsible for a) finding a person to fill that spot or b) paying the cost.  I don't think that's unreasonable for us to ask that, is it?  (Oh, and we covered all the costs up front for everyone).

Re: Unreasonable?

  • Tell him to bring a friend or find someone. You don't want to have to pay that extra.
  • Ugh! He shouldn't of waited to tell you the day before. Hope you/he can find someone to take that seat. I'd go, but I think I'm a little far away..Oh wait, I'm pregnant haha. Huh?

  • Ugh! I freaking hate that! We're always the one to book it on our card and someone always backs out so I totally know where you're coming from. I don't think it's unreasonable to tell him that it's already paid for so you'd appreciate help in filling the spot or he'd still cover the cost.

  • That super stinks!! I would tell him he had to find some one to fill the spot or pay up.

    For this reason I require a deposit from my friends when I do this type of thing. I've had it blow up in my face too many times.

  • Too bad we live in the same state, but too far away from each other.. I'd have gone. I'm a lush LOL
  • Not unreasonable at all.  Honestly, maybe he was planning on paying for two anyway (I would).  Regardless, it's totally reasonable to ask him to either find a sub or pony up.

    Sorry for the last min annoyance; but know you all will have fun!  I love wine tours (half the reason I ran away from home ;))!

    We should have a nestie wine tour!

  • I'm late to this but I don't think your request is unreasonable at all, and if I were the friend I would have assumed that's what I should do!
