Wife and I came across four free tickets to the Red Wings pre-season hockey game tonight short notice. The game is in five hours.

The question is how long do you give someone to get back with you before you go on to the next person to ask.

I called and left a message with couple A. No answer or reply back. How long do I give couple A to respond before I ask couple B? I don't want to ask someone else and then have couple A get back with me and say they can go.

20 minutes. If couple A calls after you call couple B - don't answer.

Leave couple A another message with a short deadline.  No response by the deadline?  Call couple B.

You pick the time. But I'd call one more time and if you get voicemail again let them know you had to find someone else.

Let them know you have to hear back within the next "X amount of time" before you have to try someone else, but still to get back in case you have the tickets still

Yep good idea; I should have done that when I called the first time. I will call back and do that thank you.

1.) use all 4 tickets for yourselves
2.) sit with empty seat between you
3.) ???
4.) profit

Next time don't leave a message.

Go before both couples and proceed to chop each ticket in half.  The worthy couple will protest, and you shall bequeath unto them the tickets.

Throw the tickets away and drink beer at home instead.  Do not watch the game on TV.
