Going to a concert alone, yes or no?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have front row tickets for a concert this summer. I bought these tickets for me and my boyfriend but we have since broken up. I still wanna go to the concert but would it be weird if i went on my own? Especially with an empty seat in the front row? 

 

Also these are tickets for a concert in Austria and re-selling the ticket is not an option here unfortunately.

I went to Tori Amos alone and I hated it. I’d say - if it’s close then it’s ok, if you have to travel a bit then it might suck

Going with someone obviously feels more comforting and can be more fun, but you should definitely still go!

 

You can always meet new people there (in line or inside) and even if you don't, just enjoy it on your own. I find that once the concert starts you mainly focus on what's going on on stage anyway and not the people around you, so it really doesn't matter that much if you're with someone or not.

No, it's not weird. I have been to shows by myself before... when I went to Beyonce's show last summer, the girl next to me went alone :michael:

Is taking a friend with you not an option?

I went to Tori Amos alone and I loved it

I’ve seen Orville Peck alone twice and both times were amazing. One time I was able to get an amazing near front row seat as a lone ticket buyer, and he gave me a rose :-*  (the other time was GA)

 

Once the show starts you won’t think twice about it. You’re surrounded by other people who love the same music and no one cares if you’re there alone — only you do, in your head. 

 

Plus I’d rather go alone to a show than drag along a friend who doesn’t actually like the music.

Just get to know the people around you, when I went to the Eras tour in May there was a girl next to my friend and I who was alone and we quickly made friends with her and even walked her back to her car, I still keep in touch with her.

Absolutely not! Go, you could gift that ticket too.

Go, I am usually focused on a show itself and not on a friend or whoever I am there with. It's better to go alone than to later regret that you missed it.

I'd go by myself if it's a front-row seat :WAP:

See, if we went together I’d love it too.
I felt lonely there and people were looking at me because they were mostly 35+ and I looked like a twink who confused arenas

Not going to see Lorde by myself in 2022 is one of my biggest regrets! I wish the old me had the confidence to do that. 
 

L4 tour I will be there all alone! (Cuz my friends don’t listen to her)

Most concerts I attended to I was by myself and I always had a good time

where do you live? I saw her in Manchester, we can go together when she goes on tour again :-*

 

that's so true about the crowd though, i was probably the youngest person in the venue :dies:

Go by yourself. I moved last year to a new city and I went to two concerts by myself. It may feel awkward for a few minutes, but once the show starts, everyone is focusing on the artist and you forget that you are even alone. Plus, the people beside you may chat with you a little.

I’ve only ever been alone. The fun stops for no one.

Went to chromatica ball alone. Best experience ever. Popped half a gummy,  couple of beers had the time of my life. wasn’t worried about anybody whether they wanted to get something to eat, if they needed to go to the rest room. 
 

doing the same for this concert touring season since I didn’t get to see Karol or Beyoncé.

I've been doing that for the last 5 years as none of my friends are into (pop) music. I had a great time at every show and honestly love the independency! Go pee whenever, no need to fight back to a certain spot. Go buy a drink whenever - or don't. Just do as you please. :gaycatina1:

go for it! i saw pinkpantheress recently on my own since the person i was going with bailed, but i made friends with a fun group next to me :heart2:

If I was dependent on other people, I wouldn’t have been to half of the shows I’ve been to. It’s great and fun, you can casually meet people in the queue as well and make new friends

Every single time i've gone alone i've loved it and made friends.

 

Do not miss out on something you would enjoy because someone else can't/won't go.
