From NUSDownloader I do not believe this is possible, since it is not actually a WAD file without the ticket. You can, however, dump this from an actual Wii.
However I was able to dump channels such as the YouTube channel (Which is not listed on NUSDownloader), using BlueDump Alpha 3 (http://www.wiihacks.com/wii-custom-software-hacks-applications/54124-bluedump-alpha-3-a.html).

I'm confused, if it's not just a WAD without a ticket, what would that be?:unsure:
BTW, I was looking for that WAD simply because I don't have it on my Wii(Other wise I'll just do a entire nand dump and extract the WADs, that's how I do to preserve my Get Connected Video)
According to a video, the friend demo is not sent the entire game data, but just a message, which leads you to the Wii shop channel and download the demo...
I asked Nintendo of America if they could give me a Download ticket and they said no...

A WAD file is created with a certificate, ticket, TMD, banner (A still image or a bunch of images to make an animated banner), and content. (Content being .app files.)
Without the ticket, you couldn't pack a WAD file, which explains why NUSDownloader complains.
As far as I know, there's only 2 ways on the Wii Shop Channel to purchase something, Buy it or Gift it - I never heard of messaging though. The download ticket didn't come with the message?

Nintendo of America won't give out tickets unfortunately. :P

It's not a download ticket number, it's like a bookmark that leads you to a page, but that 'webpage' is inside the Wii shop channel

Edit: too bad I don't know any of my friends who has the demo version, and this site does not allow wad sharing, not even for this free software...
