So, we come out of the meeting and not surprisingly, she's got a ticket. She flips out, saying it's my fault we didn't get any change and is now demanding that I pay at least half of the ticket. So, what does everyone think? Am I on the hook for part of the ticket?

Well if she said "We'll take our chances," likely she was assuming from the outset that it was shared risk. Perhaps she saw the two of you as a sort of Parking Thelma & Louise. So I can see that side of it, but ultimately if this was her thinking, then she needed to get more of a commitment from you then you simply you not objecting to her 'our chances' comment.
