"I have a spare one direction ticket"?

I've seen this on Facebook several times today, including by a couple of people who wouldn't be seen dead at a 1D concert, so what's the latest awareness campaign making the rounds?

I've also seen a couple of people saying they've been accepted to go on The Cube.

What's going on? And sorry if this is a repost.

    Urgh, me too. Its a new annoying "craze", where if you comment or like the status, you get an inbox saying you've been "had", then they give you a list of lies and you have to use one of them as your status.

    Then if anyone likes and comments, you send them the inbox and so on...

    Yeah it's supposedly one of those stupid games that do the rounds occasionally.

    Post a comment on their status and you get an inbox message asking you to choose one of the lies listed on it, and post it as your status. Then when someone else replies you're supposed to send them the inbox message and so it goes on.

    I just said "No" and then posted the full details and the inbox message to my status. Got called a spoilsport :)

    This is one of the saddest things I've ever read. This is what society has come to? Seriously? :o:(

    I'd take that as a compliment. Not joining in means you are at least vaguely intelligent. :D

    Forgetting the facebook craze in particular, I've always been intrigued by how often you hear the phrase "I've got a spare ticket for so-and-so..." How does it happen with such regularity? Do people often buy more tickets than they need and then try to find someone who wants one?

    Haven't seen it so I have absolutely no idea what that's about. Sounds stupid to me though.

    It's simple. You and a mate book tickets to a concert, your make has to cancel for one reason or another, they give you the ticket so you don't miss out, you then tell your friends you have a spare one so someone else gets to go.

    Happened to myself a few times.

    I saw this earlier. I thought it was a "frape" (ugh, what a horrible term).

    Why? :confused: It's an iced coffee or something similar isn't it?

    a return ticket would be much better as most people want to come home again

    How do you come across things like this by accident?

    Actually, I recently caught a comedy programme on the car radio. It included a spoof quiz, and one question was : "name a pop group with one direction in their name".

    I immediately answered "beautiful south". :)

    I got 'had' by this, I really thought someone was going to be on The Cube. That and the One Direction status are the only two family-friendly ones. I declined to post anything.
