Tucker can't believe it when his dad surprises him with a pair of tickets to a concert that's been sold out for weeks.

He invites Kerry instead, figuring that Becca will be none the wiser, until his father mentions the concert to her. Suddenly, Tucker has to find a way to get another ticket and it looks like his only option may be to pay a lot of money to a mysterious scalper. Without asking he borrows the money from Miles. But when Miles and Becca discover what Tucker's been up to, they're both furious and Tucker realizes that no concert is worth losing his two best friends.
