To go to a concert alone?

Has anyone done this and really enjoyed it? Regretted it?

It's a big show, not a small intimate gig. I normally enjoy my own company well enough but a bit worried it'll feel a bit flat not having someone to share the excitement with.

Generally speaking I'm not very sociable (no friends that I see outside of work) and no family who are enthusiastic about going.

Tickets are expensive - I could cover the cost of 2 mid-range seats and hope to find someone to go with me before the concert comes around or go it alone and get a really good seat just for me.

What do you think?

Go for it!

My dd has asd and is 17. She recently announced she’d booked herself a ticket to a concert in a city 50 miles away. She struggles socially and has never been to a concert before but had an absolute blast! She got chatting to a nice group in the queue and she said everyone was so friendly.

Whats the worst that could happen?

I went to a concert on my own once as DS was sick and DH offered to stay home so I could go as I rarely had a night out in those days. I almost didn't go. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Loved every minute.

Yup, many times in the 90's - Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Cher and Dionne Warwick. Take a book or kindle as a prop but, if you feel up to it, talk to your seat neighbours and I bet you'll have a blast!

Do it. Or tell us which concert and maybe one of us will join you. I’ve got no one interested in the bands I’m into

Why would it be unreasonable? I have done this loads of times and its great.

I’d get the best seat you can and have a blast. I guarantee you’ll find others there and still get a buzz.
