The whole situation could have been clarified if she just sent a message back to Celestia asking why she was only given two tickets (in fact she doesn't even get the rest until she informs Celestia she's surrendering her own ticket if all her friends can't come along).

** Because they all wanted the extra ticket, Twilight's friends don't respect her wishes for wanting to eat lunch first, without extra favors, and THEN make a decision. Fortunately she's very forgiving.
** Twilight asks Rainbow to close up the cloud, then gets rained on just when she’s about to eat her sandwich, which ruins it. If she knew better, she should’ve just eaten her sandwich while talking to Rainbow BEFORE asking her to close the cloud.
** Rarity talks about how her grace and fashion sense will impress Princess Celestia enough to let her see Prince Blueblood... right in front of Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's brightest and "most faithful" student and effective ambassador of friendship to Ponyville.
** Pinkie is... not very bright compared to later episodes.
*** Rarity has a sense of high society and Twilight is essentially a Canterlot noble. You'd think that'd be enough of a clue for Pinkie to realize the Gala is not going to be the festival she imagines it as.
*** Despite vying for the ticket herself, Pinkie announces ''to the whole of Ponyville'' that Twilight has a ticket, effectively quadrupling her own competition for the ticket.
** Doubling as foreshadowing, how do you know all the expectations of the Mane 6 are going to be dashed? With the exception of Rarity, no one seems to realize it'll be a high society event despite being hosted by Celestia and with a personal invitation to her former student.
