AIBU to end this friendship?

I have a friend of 3 years, similar age, kids similar ages. We meet occasionally for meals out, kids play dates, etc and chat regularly. About 6 weeks ago we saw an event on FB that we would both like and she suggested we go as it was happening the day after my birthday and she would pay for my ticket as a birthday present. For the record I had bought her a lovely present and card for hers last month. We've mentioned the event a few time in the interim and I text her 4 days before asking what the plan was for meeting, etc. She said she'd let me know. I've had a shitty birthday week with sickness bugs in the house and was really looking forward to it. Event started at 7, she text me at 5.30 to say that her OH has just surprised her with tickets for a gig (that very minute) so she was going to that instead, very sorry, we'll go out another night etc. I replied essentially saying thanks but no thanks. She has let me down before, but nothing like this, so it's the straw that broke the camel's back really. AIBU to end the friendship?

"Reading this thread I finally understand why there are so many people on MN bemoaning a lack of friends! "

And reading your opinion, Eve, I understand why there are even more posters on here with "friends" who treat them like doormats and take advantage of them. I can see you were raised in a similar way. What you think comes across as tolerance is seen as low self esteem. And some people start treating you like shite when they discover you will happily let them.
