Concert, or tumbling?
My mom already paid for me to go to tumbling, but I want to go to this concert. But the concert is the same day when I go to tumbling. So which one should I choose? Tumbling or the Concert?

When I read this I wasn't sure if you have multiple tumbling lessons on the same day as a concert or just 1 class of tumbling. It matters as it may affect the answer people will give.
Let's say for example that you go to tumbling all the time and have a class day that coincides with tumbling. If you can pick up where you left off next class or with a makeup one and it doesn't affect you or teammates than one night off for a concert on that same day is reasonable. People do this a lot. Unless you need to be there that evening I'm sure if you can afford tickets or were invited etc that mom would have no issue.
However, if this tumbling class is a 1 shot deal that your mom paid for and it's the same exact day as the concert than Adviceman49 is correct that you made a commitment to your mom who already paid and cannot back out unless there's some agreement and probably remote that you pay her back exactly what she paid out or something to that affect.
You didn't mention the artist you wanted to see. When it comes to big name acts check ticketmaster and the actual venues site because they may add 2 or more shows if the first one has or is expected to sell out. You never know. Keep checking the band's page too. I hope it works out that you can do both things you would love doing.

I'm sure mom and or dad work very hard for the money they earn. Since mom has already paid for the Tumbling, unless you can reimburse her for the Tumbling, you are obligated to Tumbling.
You may not like my answer but these are the types of decisions adults have to make all the time. Very often we commit to doing something for someone and then someone else comes along and asks us to do something for them. We've already committed to someone else but his other person is a better friend. What do you do. You say your sorry but you have other commitments.
There have been times when my wife and I have purchased tickets to something and find that something we like better is going to happen that same night. We then have to decide if we want to try and sell our tickets to the first, give them away or use them and miss the other.
The difference here is we earned the money so if we decide to just forfeit the money it is ours to do. In your situation its moms money and you at least have to have the ability to reimburse her and offer to reimburse her if you wan tto go to the concert instead.
