AIBU?
To sell my Stone Roses tickets for this weekend and go out with DH for dinner instead?

DH and I have tickets for The Stone Roses this weekend. It looks like it's going to rain. I'd love to see them again (previous saw in 1995 twice) but I'd also love the money and a night out just me and DH. We have a babysitter arranged to look after our three kids but I honestly cannot remember the last time we went out for dinner just the two of us.
Would IBU if we put the tickets on eBay then went out for a lovely dinner and some peace instead? Or is that just plain boring!

You have to go!!! I saw them last weekend in finsbury park and it was joyous. I cried at I wanna be adored and 10 story love song, I can honestly say it was the best gig I've ever been too.
They didn't come on til 8.30, can't you eat early and still go?
You'll regret it if you don't

Can't really do dinner out too cos the babysitter can't get here until 530 then we will just go straight to the gig. Part of me would love to go but I don't drink anyway so won't be getting pished but I'd be jumping about nonetheless :) dh is more reserved at gigs though and will probably want to just stand at the side and nod his head gently to the music. Though today he was doing his best Ian brown impression.
Argh I really don't know what to do! Think I might regret it if we didn't go but another part of me thinks what a nice time we could have going out for a monumental curry or something with money left over too!

YANBU to sell the tickets and do something you'd prefer but it's a definite sign of middle age, forgoing the Stone Roses for a nice quiet meal.......somewhere you can hear yourselves think.
A foot spa and a Stanna stairlift will be next on your list
Do whatever it is you'd both prefer to do.

There will be other nights out at restaurants, but this gig will be unique.
Personally I can take or leave the Roses, so I'd flog the tickets to someone else, but you obviously do rate them. I think when you wake up the next morning and hear the reviews then the odds are that you'd kick yourself for not going.

Go to the gig. Just go.
DH and i went to see Muse a few weeks ago and it was ace and reminded me what it was like to be young and carefree again jumping up and down in a throng of people.
There is plenty of time yet for quiet dinners. I don't know what age you are but we are late 40's early 50's and the gig was the best thing we have done in a long, long time.
