She Gave Concert Tickets To Her Soon-To-Be-Stepdaughter Instead Of Her Niece, And Her Brother Thinks She’s Mean For Doing This

This woman was recently trying to figure out what to get her future stepdaughter, Jess, for her birthday.
She and Jess don’t have a close relationship yet, but she wanted to buy her a nice gift so that she could make a good impression.
When she was asking her fiancé for advice, he showed her Jess’s birthday wish list.
One of the ideas she listed was tickets to see her favorite musician, and when she saw that, her fiancé said that Jess always included at least one extravagant or expensive gift as a joke.
“The thing is, I sometimes get tickets through work. I happened to have tickets to this concert. I will admit that I had planned on giving them to my niece, April, as I knew she wanted to go to this concert. However, I had not told her about them yet, and her birthday isn’t anytime soon, anyway,” she explained.
After getting the okay from her fiancé and Jess’s mom, she gave Jess the concert tickets as her birthday gift. Jess was thrilled, and it was a huge surprise for her because she didn’t think anyone would have been able to get her the tickets.
“April has since found out about me giving Jess the tickets to this concert. The two girls are not friends, but they have friends in common (which I didn’t know about) who told her. She’s mad at me for giving Jess the tickets and not her,” she shared.
Apparently, April feels that, based on a previous conversation, she deserved the concert tickets more than Jess.
“I do remember that conversation. We had all been around and were talking about the ticket perk of my job, as I had just given my brother some tickets to some other show,” she continued.

“April then asked when I got some tickets to a concert from this particular artist if she could have them. I specifically remember saying to her that I could not guarantee anything because I didn’t want to get her hopes up. I never promised her the tickets.”
Now, her brother, April’s father, is also upset. He was around for the conversation when April asked her if she could have the concert tickets, and while he said he knew that the tickets were never promised, April should have been the first in line to receive them.
Her brother thinks that it was mean of her to give the tickets to Jess when she knew that April had already asked for them.
Do you think she’s in the wrong for giving the concert tickets to Jess instead of April?
