Mum puts One Direction tickets on sale as punishment for daughter's "lippy attitude"

[MrsJrotax101]

An ebay seller in Emerald, Queensland, put four tickets to a One Direction concert in Sydney next month up for sale on eBay for an unusual reason. The seller is a mother who promised the tickets to her daughter and three friends as a birthday gift, and is now selling them as punishment for… well, maybe you should just read the whole item description. It’s worth it:

THIS AUCTION IS FOR ALL 4 ONE DIRECTION TICKETS IN SYDNEY OCTOBER 25th. You can thank my daughters self righteous and lippy attitude for their sale. See sweety? And you thought I was bluffing. I hope the scowl on your bitchy little friends faces when you tell them that your dad and i revoked the gift we were giving you all reminds you that your PARENTS are the ones that deserve love and respect more than anyone. And your silly little pack mentality of taking your parents for fools is one sadly mistaken. Anyhow. Your loss someone else’s gain who deserves them! THE TICKETS ARE SEATED IN ROW O section 57. REMEMBER AUCTION IS FOR ALL 4 TICKETS and will be sent registered post

...OH YOUR FRIENDS THOUGHT THAT A FEW PRANKS CALLS WOULD PUT ME OFF SELLING THE GIFT WE BOUGHT FOR THEM for YOUR BIRTHDAY because YOU all LIED to us about sleep overs so you could hang like little trollops at an older guys HOUSE????? Pffft!! I find it HIGHLY amusing that you girls think you invented this stuff. Tricks like this on OUR parents is how HALF of you were conceived …..And why a lot of your friends DONT have an address to send that Fathers day card to!!! I’m not your friend. I’m your MOTHER. And I am here to give you the boundaries that YOU NEED to become a functional responsible adult. You may hate me now….. But I don’t care. Its my job to raise a responsible adult..not nuture bad habits in my teen age child

The tickets were put on sale for a starting bid of one dollar, plus five dollars standard postage. The sale was cancelled today (perhaps because somebody had been punished enough) by which point there were bids up to $42,152. Yes, you read that correctly. Forty-two-thousand-one-hundred-and-fifty-two dollars.

This was a standard way of handling things with my parents. Punishment was swift, and understood without any explanation necessary.

A mom with balls.... It's refreshing to see parents deal out punishment when needed

I don't know who these people are but what's a ticket regularly cost? I can't imagine anywhere near 42k.

People trolling eBay. eBay probably pulled it down. The band is like backstreet boys or a "boy band". People are selling them on eBay for like $250 a seat.
