This is totally rude. I'd take your 13 year old, I know the principal of the matter is that you bought the ticket in good faith on her behalf and she hasn't paid you for it, which is totally inconsiderate.
I have a "friend" that I leant $300 to before Christmas so she could pay her rent (she works casual and had been sick), we're now in August and I've still not seen a cent of it, yet she can afford to take her kids on holiday, go out drinking, get a new phone......
If I owe someone as little as $20 it is on my mind until the next time I see them when I give it back. I just dont understand how people can sleep at night ripping off a friend.
I am so sorry I have no good advice (obviously, as I would be following it myself if I did) only to say definitely dont give her the ticket until after you have all the money..
Good luck

We had friends move over here after we did and their cash was "tied up" for a bit so we loaned them $500. They told us they'd give it back to us straight away - it was weeks before they even mentioned it again. DH was out with the husband one night for drinks and had to go to an ATM and the guy said "oh, here, have $50 till you get to the cash machine" but STILL hadn't given us our original $500 back!! We never did get it back and are no longer friends with them (for so many other reasons but money was one of them).
Money between friends, in my experience, always goes bad.
