Well, if she bought you both tickets, it doesn't make sense that she wants to go without you. You might bring this up when you "hang out" today. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that she bought them for you for a present and doesn't want to go with you. I would have a serious talk with her today about why.

Yeah, but she bought them for your birthday! I would like to think that she could put any differences aside for your birthday. Otherwise, she's very immature.

Do?  Ask her how she justifies this giving of a gift and taking it back.

Me thinks she can't .. And is not only taking back a gift but is UNinviting you and is obviously planning on going with someone else. I HIGHLY doubt if she would attend 'alone' if she already has 2 tickets as she suggested when she gave you such a gift. 

Was she simply planning on tearing up one ticket ?  Is she making plans with someone else?  You'll have to get those answers from her .. Because this one is definitely worth a detailed explanation.

If she is that shallow and callous .. I would seriously reconsider why you would continue a relationship with someone who would even do such a despicable thing.

This "I want some space' thing would suggest that she doesn't want to spend time with you because she needs time to reengage her feelings for you .. however, asking to 'hang for the day' is very conflicting with that theory .. which makes me think she is only saying that because she has got a better offer to spend time with other friends, and she is dumping you for them.

Unless she has actually GIVEN you the ticket already ... It has not actually become your present, yet ... And she is still able to change her mind about giving it to you.

If she has given you the ticket ... Fine.  Go without her.  You'll wind up sitting next to each other anyway, unless she exchanges her ticket.

Get a new girlfriend.  If she buys you a BIRTHDAY present of tickets for the TWO of you, she is a bad person to just decide to take it back.  Skip the hanging out.  If she can't stand to be around you for a concert, you two are done.  I sense BS.  I think she just wants to go with someone else and is inventing the whole "space" thing.

You deserve better and I bet you can get it.

Whether your are boyfriend/girlfriend, or just friends, her behavior is incredibly rude. If she is going to be that rude to I wouldn't want to be friends, much less date her. I say give yourself a birthday present and remove her from your life.

well we been fighting for the past 2 months! We've been together for 9! She said she needs her space! This weekend were supposed to hangout today then go to the concert but she texted me last night saying that she wanted to go with her mom and friend and that we need alone time and not to be around anyone else! I want to go but in the same sense doesn't seem like she wants me to go anymore and I don't want to go as a pity party!

No time or space here, but she sure doesn't make sense at all. Tell her that its only right if she bought the tickets for you for your Birthday that she take you too.  I kinda sense she bought the tickets but was asked by someone else that she may be more interested in thus the reason for wanting you to go alone here which sucks but does happen all the time. 

Lay the guilt trip on her by telling her that you just don't feel right going solo without her especially since it was her Birthday gift to you and you don't want to go without her . There definitely Is more to this than we are seeing here so the way I see it here you have3 choices, 1, don't go at all, or 2, go without her or 4 go with her so best hurry and talk to her about this .  Also if she doesn't want to be seen with you, then give the gift back to her.  

Good luck and Happy Birthday
