yes it is a little heartless of dad to say that he didnt have any tickets spare but maybe he said that because it is true.
I know events such as the V festival does sell out pretty quick.
If your feeling pushed to the side you need to talk to your dad otherwise he wont know your feelings.
or you can choose to tell mum or an adult you trust and maybe she/they can speak to dad for you to get your point across.
your dad may not realise how insensitive he is being and he is probably caught up with the fact that he has a new girlfriend.
If you cant speak to dad or mum then write dad a letter and write how he makes you feel and how you would like things to be in future.
he might not realise how much he is hurting you by not including you in his activities so give him a chance.
Good luck!

 Hey :)
Aww, I'm sorry about what's happening. That must hurt.
Of course, it's understandable and certainly isn't your fault that you feel pushed away. But try not to let it get to you too much. His new girlfriend probably feels like a novelty, especially since he was with his ex for so long. I'm sure he doesn't mean to exclude you, he's just swept away by finding a new love. He also probably just wants to make the most of her, and so he's plunging into spending a lot of time with her.
But it doesn't mean he prefers her company to yours, or anything like that. He is your father, he will always love you, try and remember that :)
I would suggest YOU inviting HIM to do something together. Perhaps you could choose something you know his girlfriend won't particularly want to do? Something you know he enjoys?
I hope things get better and that helped a bit :-) let me know xxxx
