Feeling conned by friend ? Is that the right word to use ?

My friend asked if I wanted to go to the london theatre with her at christmas. She knows i love the theatre. She booked the tickets and i gave her the cash. We will meet our friends there, but they have booked separately and are not sitting with us.

I have since found out - from checking online for the price i paid - that my friend has used a family disability pass to book herself a free "companion" ticket. We are sitting in the disabled section. Nether of us are disabled.

Aside from the moral issues around this, i feel quite conned by her ? Not because I have paid and she hasn't, it's not about the cost I've paid, I don't know what to call it ??

I'm specifically looking for feedback on the conned aspect. We all know the moral issues are just wrong.

@EvieBB so you think it's OK for a non disabled person to book disabled concessions as long as they share the saving? CFs everywhere.

No I didn't quite say that lol. Read my last sentence.
It was a bit of a joke...like if she's going to be a CF then she can at least share the saving with me 😜 but of course it's morally wrong full stop.

Oops sorry just read my original post and I didn't actually write the last sentence...I thought I had but it was obviously just in my head. Of course it's morally wrong and I don't know how she thinks she'll get away with it

unless your friend is taking the disabled family member than she is doing something really crappy. Is she normally morally bankrupt? Why are you friends?

Does she do other stuff like this op? I know someone like this asked you to pick up the odd bit from the shop on your way round and says she will settle up later and never does etc etc. she is usually broke as she’s always been awful with money. Wonder if it’s the same person as she can also get companion seats at the theatre and would do something like this
