Hello, wanna give me your opinion on what to do about this?
So in December I got two tickets to go to Trixie and Katya's tour (drag queens if you don't know them) and I told my best friend when I got them that he could come with me. We've been close for a long time (since 2015) so I didn't expect any issues to come from that. Well since December, this guy has changed quite a lot and has gotten pretty rude. He'll make fun of my clothes, talk about his plans with our mutual friends and say stuff like "I wasn't going to invite you, but you can probably come I guess" (without me asking), consistently make plans with me and not show up, excessively talk trash behind his closest friends' backs to me about their appearance, significant others, families, plans, lifestyles, etc., ended up cheating on his long-term boyfriend with multiple people until the guy finally broke up with him (and he was wrecked), talked badly about my family, and has just done and said countless little rude things to me/about me and our friends.
So now it's getting a bit closer to the show (September) and I'm reaaaaaaally regretting telling him he could come with me. When I asked some of my friends & family what to do about it, they all said I should find someone else and "maybe he'll forget about the show," but that isn't going to happen because he talks about it a lot and the first time I'd seen him since the two of us got back from our colleges for break, he said "I have a feeling [my bf] is going to end up taking my spot for Trixie and Katya and he better not." I'd feel really bad telling him he can't come after telling him he could, but I don't really like hanging with him at all at this point because he's been pretty mean. I'd much rather take anyone else.
How do you think I should deal with this?
TLDR: I told someone they could go to a show with me when I got tickets 6 months ago, show is now in 3 months and he's changed A LOT & become really rude and I wish I hadn't told him he could come
