AIW for not taking friend to comedy show after someone else agreed to go with me?

Not using real names here in case they see this. Also not using the real comedian.

So I recently given two free tickets to see Kevin Hart perform at our local casino. I put a story out on Instagram asking if anyone wanted to go with me and no one responded. So I asked my friend Rich whom I’ve known since we were young kids. Rich said he was interested but he’d have to check his schedule and would “get back to me!”

About two weeks go by and no word from Rich so I asked my friend Craig whom I met on college who immediately accepted the offer. I then tell Rich that Craig has accepted the offer so I was just letting him know.

“But I thought you were taking me?” Rich asked.

“Yes I asked you first but you said you’d get back to me and it’s been more than two weeks so I assume you didn’t want to go anymore.” I respond.

“But you didn’t try to ask me again? I actually wanted to go with you to this show.”

Rich now argues that I should’ve asked him again before asking Craig and now feels like I’m wrong. Rich says that he wanted to go and I should tell Craig that he can’t go now. I feel as if now that would be messed up to tell Craig that he can’t go after he accepted. He also emphasized how he and I have been friends longer than I have been with Craig and how I was Rich’s best man and his wedding. Rich says to just lie and say the tickets were given away or that I changed my mind and I didn’t want to go anymore.

Rich asking me to lie now kind of pushed me off the fence and now i genuinely rather take Craig since he actually committed first. I tell Rich that “I’ll get back to you.” and he lets it go but he still feels like he should go since I technically asked him first.

So Am I wrong for not asking Rich again and now taking Craig to this comedy show? Craig was asked second but accepted first so what can I do?
