Angry Parents Give Daughter's One Direction Tickets Away After Catching Them Smoking

Getting tickets to see your favourite group or band is one of the best presents any child can receive, and pop sensations One Direction probably have one of the biggest and youngest fan-bases in the music scene at the moment. But what do you do when you catch your One Direction-loving child doing something terrible, something as naughty as smoking in the backgarden?
Well, in the case of one Cardiffian couple, the only appropriate punishment is to give their misbehaving daughters’ tickets away - for absolutely free.
A man named Darren, one half of the absolutely livid pair of parents, posted an ad on Gumtree claiming that he was giving away two tickets to see the world-beating pop five-piece in Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena on March 1st next year, after finding his two young daughter’s smoking whilst him and his wife were fast asleep upstairs.
The ad reads: “I am giving them away as a punishment for my young daughters who were found smoking in the back garden whilst me and my wife were asleep. I will take this ad down as soon as the tickets have been claimed, they’re free to the first person who rings.”
While it may seem like a rather harsh punishment, smoking at a young age is a serious problem - and, of course, one person’s loss is another’s gain, and now two probably equally as young fans will now get to see Niall, Zayn, Liam, Harry, and Louis for absolutely nothing!
The ad has now been taken down, which can only mean that the tickets have already been claimed. So if you were hoping to pick them up, you’re out of luck - though you can still purchase them right here on Stereoboard.
