I am selling two Tickets to TedFest (the Father Ted cult festival). Tedfest runs from Thursday February 26 to Sunday March 1 on Craggy Island (Inis Mór!) and is a must for any serious Father Ted fans. More details can be found here
I bought the tickets as a Christmas present for my (ex) boyfriend (back when we were blissfully unaware of our incompatibility) and like the decent lad he is, he has insisted on giving them back to me. I got them for €150 quid each but am willing to accept any fair offer!
Two Tickets To Tedfest (DoneDeal)
I’d love to but I’m not sure I’m mad enough craic
You have to tell us more about the incompatible stuff first
Only fair

Hang on a second, are we supposed to return gifts to exes? Since when did that become etiquette? Unless the ex would appreciate the gift more than you. Ah,,, see why ye broke up, now.
The big one used to be about returning the ring if an engagement came to an end.
I think the return of presents is a nice gesture in amicable circumstances, but certainly one to play by ear.
150 quid each? What the hell?
150 euro quid each!
That’s sad, Ted.
Down with that sort of thing.
Careful now!
He gave them back hoping to seem nice. Sounds like he wants you back.
So, you got your ex to give you his Xmas present back so that you could sell them on DoneDeal?

Well I gave him back the Ed Sheeran Wembley tickets he bought me so its all fair game really, Rob…
Ask him if he has the whistle too!
The answer is there for all t’see
He gave you Ed Sheeran
You got him back with Father Ted Fest
Seems to have been doomed from a longs ways off Emily
Thanks for the shrewd insight, @Anti-Frilly Keane.
Most helpful.
Emily, why don’t you go to the festival without him? You could have great craic :)
yeah, im sure half the people who comment on Broadsheet will be there.
Seriously, the amount of excitement the poor chap must have had to feign.
Again, most helpful. Thanks @madouveh on the dole, have a wonderful day.
That will learn you Emily, when trying to flog stuff, you need a better backstory, preferably one involving cute pets, a stolen bike, an abortion or coming out of the closet. Good luck with selling the tickets, looks like a fantastic festival centered on Ireland’s best comedy.
