Judge me for selling the extra concert ticket instead of offering it?

Four of us bought tickets. One dropped out a week prior. I held the extra for two days and asked the group who wanted it at face. Silence. I listed it. It sold for $20 over face because the site adds fees I did not control. I offered the extra $20 to the group chat as a credit toward nachos.

They said I should have waited until the day of, that a friend of a friend would have gone, and that profit on a friend's cancellation is ugly.

I still have the $20 in Venmo as 'nachos.' No one has taken it.

Their side

They would say two days is not a search, that selling outside the friend-circle is how tickets become inventory, and that nachos do not unsell a seat.

Ask: After a silent chat, is selling at the listed price allowed, or did I turn a cancel into a stall?
