More details to this question:
I bought concert tickets for me and a friend. We then had a falling out and my friend no longer wants to go to the concert with me. Does she still have to pay me back for the ticket? Can I take her to small claims court?

Small Claims Court (Justice of the Peace or Justice Court) is designed for disputes just like the one you described. If you can't get the matter resolved with your ex-friend, you can contact the local JP court, pay the filing fee, fill out a simple form describing the dispute, then have your day in court. If you can prove that a contract was formed whereby the friend promised to pay for the ticket, then refused, I think you may have a good case.
