Haven't seen anyone ask about this today yet so may I be the first to say...
Does anyone have one spare ticket for Cambridge please? [Post edited 30 Jan 2023 12:19]

Haha, wow - hope passing judgement on someone’s word choice made you feel momentarily good about yourself, bud. | |

Do you 'need' the ticket, though? |  |

Bloots merely 'wanted' to post that, he didn't 'need' to! |  |

....in fact I generally feel great about myself.
It's what makes me so popular on here!
But my point stands, you don't need a ticket, you just want one. | |

Do you 'need' the ticket, though? |
Haha - you remind me of the person who wrote into the EADT to complain about them describing the players as 'brave' because soldiers are much braver at war.
It's called context. And in this context, yes I do 'need' a ticket for Saturday. If you 'need' any other lessons in the English language, please consider signing up for the Open University.
Edit: Bloots, you can take this as your response too. [Post edited 30 Jan 2023 13:40]

I'm not quite sure you do need a ticket though. You just want one.
My handy copy of the OED defines 'need' as:
"require something because it is essential or very important, rather than just desirable."
Perhaps, given that you are adamant that you need rather than want the ticket, you could elucidate upon the grave fate that will befall you should you be unsuccessful in acquiring a ticket for the aforementioned match? [Post edited 30 Jan 2023 13:43]

He needs a ticket if he wants to go to the game. |  | | |

Yup - you need a purchase history to buy from them though or I'd just do that. | |

If you live in Hull, as per the username, call them up and explain you are there for the weekend seeing family and want to attains the game as a neutral.
Worth a try | |

This is the correct usage of the word 'need' in context. |  |
