If its a good friend of yours though, I don't think its worth ending the friendship over, which seems to be part of the question as well. It may just be a simple misunderstanding, at least let him explain in himself. For your part, I'd let him know that his actions were not cool, and in the future if he pulls another bait-and-switch like that, its going to compromise the friendship.

I can't agree with this approach. I think it was "pretty cool" for his buddy to think of him when the extra ticket came up. I can't comment on the individual particulars of what took place, but if someone is going to sulk and feel like a victim because they went to a Flames game and had to pay for their ticket, I start to question whether they were a "friend", not the other way around.
My advice to "yellesdaman" is to look at this as a learning opportunity instead of something that happened to you. Next time, seek clarification. "Hellohockeyfan" has it right here. I might be wrong, but I don't think this guy who invited you was trying to put you in an awkward position. He probably thought you would be great company as part of the foursome, and I hope you didn't sit there and pout the whole night because he asked you for money.
