You sent your money off to somebody you don't know to buy tickets you don't even know exist! YOU did this, NOT the transfer service! Absolutely, positively incredible! Another example of the dumbing down of America!

You took a risk by electing to ignore the scam and fraud alerts on craigslist:
Deal locally, face-to-face —follow this one rule and avoid 99% of scam attempts.
• Do not provide payment to anyone you have not met in person.
• Never wire funds (e.g. Western Union)- anyone who asks you to is a scammer.
• Transactions are between users only, no third party provides a "guarantee".
• Do not rent or purchase sight-unseen—that amazing "deal" may not exist.
