So my favourite singer ever is playing a series of gigs in Utah in October. It’s over the weekend my kids are with their dad. Is it mental to fly there Thursday see the gigs Saturday and Sunday and fly back Monday? Get the kids back Tuesday? I can afford it - I’d be going alone. I’m scared . Would anyone else/ has anyone else done something like this?

It's irresponsible. Think.of the environment.

God bless you

Absolutely do it! Not the same as going to utah, but I went to vegas recently to see the backstreet boys at the sphere, it cost me a shitting fortune, but I'd pay it again. Try and get on the bands, facebook page or reddit page, because I bet there's loads of people going on the room that you could link up with

Go go go...get that ticket booked !
Could you extend your stay and do a few days of tourist stuff too ?

Absolutely, my only advice is look to see if there is any kind of specialist insurance if the gig ends up getting cancelled, I had tickets to Dolly Parton’s Vegas residency which she needed to cancel due to ill health 💔 my hotel booking was refundable and the tickets obviously refunded no issue, but I lost over £1000 on the flights my travel insurance wouldn’t cover.

Go!!! I flew to London from abroad on my own to see Kate Bush in concert in 2014 and it was worth every penny for the experience

Not crazy at all! You've the funds, you're independent, I'd say go for it!

Go for it!
If you can afford it, why not?
