Scissor Sisters tonight ... suddenly going solo

I've had tickets booked for ages to go and Scissor Sisters tonight. Plan was to grab some food first and then onto the concert. Friend has had to pull out last minute- no fault of hers. I still want to go. Can a 50 year old eat out and go to the concert alone? AIBU to think I can still go and have a great night? There's no emergency on friends part by the way. Her Dad had a fall this morning, is home and ok apart from understandably shaken. She doesn't want to leave him alone. I would do the same

I was at Springsteen this week on my own. No one cares.

Go go go

Not only can you do it, you should. I was at a gig last night and suddenly thought I should go to more and go on my own because I don’t always manage to find someone to come with me. I looked around and realised no one knows or cares if you’re on your own. I frequently go the theatre and cinema alone and usually eat alone beforehand. So go, enjoy it (I saw them in 2004 and still remember it being terrific) and come back and tell us how great it was!

Just go! And have a great time! I'm jealous. I went to see a gig on my own last year and loved every minute

OatFlatWhiteForMe · 24/05/2025 17:23

Go, it’s a show not to be missed. Honestly the best gig I have been to in a while.

Bjorkdidit · 24/05/2025 17:23

I don't understand how this is a question.

Why couldn't you go to meal and concert alone?

Callie247 · 24/05/2025 17:23

Of course you can eat out and go solo! You’ll be so happy you did it. if you don’t you’re only going to regret it. Come back tomorrow and tell us what a good night you had!

I've been to restaurants and the theatre alone a few times. I like to think I give off "international woman of mystery" vibes 😊

Go and enjoy!

Munchyseeds2 · 24/05/2025 17:22

My friend did exactly that last night!
We were also at the 02....they were fab
Have a great time!!

Barabajagal · 24/05/2025 17:21

We were there last night. Do not miss it! They’re brilliant and everyone is really friendly. Jake Shears is just the best front man. I think he might have been Tigger in a past life.

bennybannsider · 24/05/2025 17:21

Yes definitely. A busy concert is a good place to be alone as it's, well, busy.

Pancakeflipper · 24/05/2025 17:21

Go. It's totally fine.

DisplayPurposesOnly · 24/05/2025 17:21

Of course you can! Go forth, have fun.

Shesellsseashellsnotinmystreet · 24/05/2025 17:20

Go for it op.

Can a 50 year old eat out and go to the concert alone?

No, sorry, this is not allowed at all. 🙄

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 24/05/2025 17:20

Of course you can!! Go for it. You'll feel very empowered believe me
