Proof that I am too old or incompetent to exist in the modern world
I have managed to book tickets for a show in London (England) instead of Toronto. 
(Through Ticketmaster so I think my money is lost, but if anyone has any suggestions)

I suggest you go to London, stay at Holiday Inn in Camden Town, see the show, and have the time of your life.

Just put them up a few quid cheaper if it is not a high demand show.
If it is a high demand show then you can make money and you are buying the next round at Hooters!

Or sell on Twickets (a face value [or less] resale site).

Apologies I didn’t mean to make light of your situation. Maybe you can sell them and re-coup some, if not all, of the value. Try FB market place. I haven’t used it but know of people who do.

I don’t understand how the resellers work, aren’t the tickets tied to whoever bought them?

if we’re listing everything this could be a long thread. How often is it acceptable to call your (adult) children by the dog’s name?

But it was hard to even find those in "current" lists
It was only coming across "old fashioned" names I found them.
I suppose as people names evolve, choices for animal names will too.
