My friend bought Canucks tickets for Game 1 off Ticketmaster, he bought 4 of them for $275 or so each and thought he could make a quick buck. He posted $200/per ticket for the past 2 days(Tuesday and Wednesday morning/afternoon) still no bites and no interests. So he asked me to come down and head to Rogers Arena with him to try and sell the tickets, he was hoping to get $150-180 for the tickets, no one was interested. The scalpers offered $80 for his tickets, he refused since he bought em for $275.

No one was offering more than $100/each for his tickets and we saw people that had way better seats than us sell theirs for $120 and they were Club Seats as well while ours were just regular and 20 or 22th row. So he was like "Guess we have to go to this game.." this was at 6:45pm. He called his parents to come down since he had a total of 4 tickets he couldn't get rid of it. Til this time he didn't tell me the price and at 7pm when we were waiting for his parents to come take the other two tickets, I asked him "So how much should I give you for the tickets?" his response was "50 here..50 there..whatever.." So in my mind I was like Okay cool, $100. Since the ticket was gonna go to waste anyways + scalpers were offering $80, maybe even less since the games about to start soon.

Than I headed home after the Canucks lost, I texted him "So how much do I owe you?" His response was "$200" I was pretty baffled and confused at his response, since we're pretty good friends and hes pretty much over-charging me for a ticket that no one was gonna offer more than $100 for and it would've went to waste.

I told him what I thought about it and offered him $100 since honestly I thought that was what the price he was gonna sell it to me for" "50 here, 50 there, $100 total" his reply was "K Whatever then." and I'm guessing hes mad at me.

What does Revscene think? Whois in the right/wrong and how much should I give him/offer him? I don't think I'm expected to pay his price of $200(he was even gonna take as low as $150/160 from the scalpers outside of Rogers Arena but all they offered was $80) And I never agreed on going in the first place, thinking I'd be a good friend to accompany him to Rogers Arena and hit a pub after selling it. The ticket was gonna go to waste anyways or take $80 from the scalpers(or even lower at 7pm).
