The nice thing is all of the posts telling me to deal with it for the night have made me realize how very strongly I feel about not doing that. I really should be able to say no to something I find unpleasant. I don't want to say no to something on behalf of my husband because that isn't my place and if he would enjoy it, I'd be happy to see him go, but as you said those tickets are expensive, so I don't want MIL to spend $ on something he won't use. We've thrown out tickets before because I can't go for whatever reason (not just don't want to- this is actually the only thing I've said no to because I just don't want to) and he won't go by himself or with a friend.
I don't think you would have ANY trouble selling them.
How much is MIL going to possibly spend? I mean is it possible she will be getting tickets front and center or in the rafters? I mean if you are high enough up, it won't be AS bad anyway.
I mean everyone's relationship is their own. I just know that DH has been drug to a few musicals that he honestly hated and I have gone to rodeos that I wasn't thrilled about. He would never tell someone not to get me tickets to a show and I would be thrilled if MIL got dh tickets to a big rodeo.
This is supposed to be their last tour. Your dh really shouldn't have to miss out because of your preferences, honestly. Has he never gone or done anything he didn't like because you wanted it?
