I can imagine that this feels bad for you from the inside, but from the outside, this sounds so nuts and completely unreasonable that I felt compelled to comment.
First, your mom left you a note for something super time-sensitive. Did you even know about this, or was this a complete surprise? Then your dad is yelling at you for missing a note?
Honestly, that sounds quite unreasonable. I'm not here to ask you to feel any way other than how you are, as when I was caught in situations like that I didn't know how to see them any other way. But from the outside...
1. Did she ask you in person to handle the ticket situation? (I can't tell from your post.)
2. Did you agree to do so?
Even if both of those have answers of "yes", then your father yelling at you is unreasonable. And if either of them is "no", then it's even more unreasonable that your mom is putting time-critical tasks on you via note.
At the least, this is not reasonable behavior from your father, and possibly from your mother too.
She gave me a heads up yesterday and I agreed to do it, but I forgot all about it when I woke up today and didn't see the note until dad pointed it out, which was only after it was too late anyway. These tickets sell out FAST and you have to be watching very closely for when a slot opens up because it'll get take *snap* like that. Miss an opportunity and you're screwed. Mom had work today so she was counting on me to do it. I kinda knew it wouldn't work out but I agreed to do it, now I feel like an asshat for not remembering. Still, there's no guarantee that I would have gotten two tickets even if I HAD remembered. But it's too late now. All the tickets are sold out.
