📝 AITAH for making my wife sell our concert tickets?

One of my wife's favorite childhood musicians announced he would be adding a show to his tour. She excitedly told me, at which time I explained that I was not a fan of his music but that she should go with a friend(s). Her friends did not want to go, but she bought the tickets anyways under the assumption I would join her. I would typically have no issues with being a supportive partner and going to the show with her whether I enjoy it or not. However, the concert is in another city that is a 7 hour drive from our home. I do not have any more PTO from my employer so would be taking 2-3 unpaid days off. All things considered, I'm estimating the entire trip to cost roughly $2,500 (we have joint accounts). We both make good money, but that is a lot to spend on something that I have no interest in doing. I kindly confronted her and explained that she should have consulted with me before making the commitment, and that she should sell the tickets. We could use that time and money to find something we can both enjoy. She got combative and concluded that I should go because it will make her happy. I refused and now she is mad at me.
