Baby at a concert

[Worrywort98]

Hi all
I have a 4 month old baby who's pretty chilled. I don't have family support, just me and my husband.

I recently booked a concert (classical music) for our one year wedding anniversary. It's in a small venue. I didn't even consider the fact that babies/children might not be allowed in until after I'd bought the tickets 🫠 and we've no one to babysit.

Should I still bring my baby?

I bought back row seats for swift exit.
He normally sleeps very well if I put him in the carrier. Recently I had to go to a funeral and he slept the whole service.

Please be kind but honest as to what I should do. Thanks

I am going to see Einaudi soon and I would be so unimpressed if someone took a baby. It’s a bucket list thing for me to do.

Haha I was talking about her children, not my baby thanks xxx

Just going to clarify myself and then I'm not responding anymore to this thread anymore

I bought these tickets as my husband and I love going to hear live music and we often went before having DS. Booking it was an oversight as it's the first time we'll have been out, and i totally forgot that some venues don't allow children. I didn't book it to 'feel smug' about taking my baby to hear classical music, we just don't have any babysitters

Secondly, some of you are getting your pants in a twist because I mentioned kids being well-behaved - hers! Not mine! I was not referring to my baby for goodness sake! I know that babies can't "behave" .. they're babies.if you can read, you'll notice that all I said was my baby sleeps well in a carrier.

Thirdly, I'm not "entitled" or "superior" as I'm not hell bent on going. I'm perfectly willing to give my tickets up.
IF I seem one sided, I responded to the posters who gave their positive experiences about taking babies along (which is what I was wanting feedback about in the first place) and also, some orchestral musicians who replied to say they love seeing babies At their concerts.. positive.

Even though I didn't respond to every single 'no' post, I have been taking other opinions on board. Some of you were respectful , some of you were quite rude. Do with this what you will ✌️

One last update - the venue phoned me this morning to say they were more than happy for me to attend with my baby. It was no problem with them whatsoever as they said they have a 'babe in arms' policy meaning as long as the baby is being held it's fine with them.
They even offered to change the seats to an even closer exit should I need to leave, they were super kind and accommodating

Crikey what a rude original poster.

Good to know you don’t give a shit about anyone else there. Selfish and entitled.

That settles it

Enjoy the event!

Ear protectors for the rest of the audience possibly. But this is not a live music pop concert you doughnut!
