I think you are putting too much emphasis on the concert. This girl either will or will not go out with you--the concert is just one option of many date choices you could make.
Putting myself in this girl's shoes, I would guess that it's a pretty awkward place to be in. Her friend knows you dumped her for this girl and that can't feel good. If they are close, if they hang out and share classes, I think you are probably not going to succeed her. Girlfriends tend to stick together.
A lot depends on the breakup, on the relationship you had too. If you were close with your ex for a long time, if it was a nasty breakup, if there are hurt feelings, the new girl isn't going to want to wade into that mess. If you were more friends with your ex, if it was mutual, if she bears you no ill will and is still friendly to you, you might have a chance.
But my best advice is for you to let it go for now, wait some time until all wounds have at least had a chance to heal and THEN you could broach the topic of a date.
Or you could be brave, ask her out to something--doesn't have to be this concert--and see what she says. Be prepared for "no."
It all depends on the baggage surrounding the breakup. Girls will tend to be loyal to each other, unless you know the new girl is willing to lose a friend over you, you probably don't have much hope. Sorry.

Ask her before you buy the ticket.

Are you and your ex still friends? Talk to your ex about it so then there can be no blame or accusations. If your ex has a problem then leave off for a bit but you should never deny yourself something because it will upset someone unless it will be detromental to there friendship or you don't like her that much. I go out with my ex's best friend, they still talk not as much as they did and not about me but there was no way i would give up a chance to be with my b/f just because my ex wasn't happy about it. Think about if you really like her and if you do take the risk.
