AIBU over event tickets

A year ago during lockdown a close friend and I decided to book expensive theatre tickets for us and her teenage daughter. We paid £65 per ticket which was the top price on offer but we thought since we weren't able to do much else we might as well splash out. A couple of weeks ago she messaged me and said she's changed her mind about going. She won't tell me why but she has asked me to send her the £130 back. The tickets are non refundable. I'm a single parent to a young child and I simply cannot afford it. She has argued that I can just 'sell the tickets on' but the event isn't sold out and I would struggle to shift them and they're non refundable. It's not a financial thing with her, she's having some issues with her mood and she is cancelling a lot of plans which I have empathy for but I think demanding this money is really unreasonable. I've told her that the tickets were non refundable and I don't have that money to send her and now she isn't replying to my messages.
