I‘d really like to go to a concert but my friends either don‘t have time or don‘t want to pay so much money because the ticket is pretty expensive. I‘ve never been to a concert by myself, would you recommend it?
Absolutely!!
Grant, that you are a bit younger than I am and our taste in music probably differs. Meaning the atmosphere at the concerts we would attend would likely differ as well.
For my part, though, I have gone to concerts by myself. I am a fan of jazz and, suffice to say, not too many of my friends are. Yet jazz concerts are so comparatively rare that when if I see one is coming out, I will check to see if any of my friends - some of whom like jazz - can attend.
If not, and if the schedule and budget permits, I go by myself. First, because I love the music and second because when you attend such an event you find that you end up socializing with others in the audience and - PRESTO!! - you end up having a good time and even making a new friend or two.
Obviously, rock concerts and the like are different things. Still, if it is something you enjoy then, by all means, go for it. You never know how things will go unless you try.
Have a great time!
I've been many places by myself
And no matter what we do in life there become many new experiences. . That have always been fun
As I read your question I fir some reason. New where you were headed
With it and in my subconscious I was thinking yes go for it go for it as I'm reading until I get to the part where it says would you go by yourself and I just got a weird vibe even though I knew that's what you were going to ask but once I read it in your words I was just thinking to myself now you can't go by yourself whatever that means but I think you should try to talk one of your friends into it to go with you
I always tell people we know what's going to happen before it happens if we are quiet and pay attention
And I believe you know something and your asking this question for a reason
This is so hard to explain what I'm trying to say but I'm going to say no I wouldn't. And I'm going to say you should have a friend go with you
I have. Not that fun. People don't really socialize with you because they find it odd you are alone. Also, people want to connect with groups of people not one person. You have no one to talk to. Yeah don't recommend.
I have before. I’m more comfortable dancing on/around strangers than people I know. Now i’d prefer at least one person I know be with me just because i dont wanna get snatched by someone in the crowd

You could go yourself, bring a family member, or even just find a trustworthy friend of a friend or even, well if it were me being me being a guy lol I'd see if there was any decent woman on a dating app OR I'd literally ask a random woman in real life, say, random barista or random staff member, politely you wanna come to a concert with me and give them the same example you have if I was in your shoes 👟 lol 😎
I've done it before. I went to a music festival by myself multiple times. Bcause it was just really important to me back then but other people didn't wanna go. I saw Eminem live which is very rare he barely ever comes to Switzerland. But some people were like I don't know if he's really gonna come and stuff. If you really want to go you should go :)
I think the biggest issue is your own mindset. You think people will think you are weird that you are alone there.
Truth is nobody cares only you do and you stress yourself out for nothing. Just go. I got a concert coming up this month and going solo as well since nobody wanted to :X
Yeah, I got the same shit going on girl. Shame you're a Frenchie or we could go together.
And yes, I do go myself. If I like the band I don't care. Although (good) company is always best though. But going alone is better than bad company.
Nearly always have!! The only times I went with someone was either with my future ex-fiance during the `90's, with my friend to see The Monkees and a couple other time I WENT alone but met other friends there that I didn't know were gonna be there.
Will you regret not going if you don't?
If the answer is yes, then I would go to the concert.
I wouldn't, but I know all these married people that act like they want to do things like this but never do.
I don't think there is anything wrong with not wanting to go by myself... but some say I need to get out there. So I don't know. Doesn't seem like it would be as fun by myself... but I have been to concerts.
Yes! I've done it a few times, when there's a show I really want to see and my friends can't make it. From a social aspect it's a bit hit & miss... one time I felt pretty alienated like it was obvious I was there as a total loner, but then the other times there's either other people there solo or (being a guy) two girls there together who were interested in talking/hanging out. So just go for it!
I am worried to suggest this to women but I often prefer going to such places alone, even with friends unless they perfectly share my tastes in music and avenues, since I can make new ones there. Having them around usually messes up my ability to make new ones.
For women, I think it can be very dangerous though and so that's the only reason I'm reluctant.
not like you'll even have time to think of it, concert is gonna be so loud lol
I think it be safer if you go with someone. But if it something you want do you should do it. I would not go to a concert alone. I do not like concert. I think I let my sister go to a concert by her self or with someone I think she like it. I know a girl on FB who like to go to concert.
I have done this. When I was in college I could find anyone to see Eric Andersen and I just went by myself. I really did not mind. A few months earlier Jim Croce was coming to campus and nobody wanted to go with me. This was before anyone knew who he was. After he died all of a sudden everyone was a fan.
I used to think I never would go alone until I heard someone say "going alone is better than missing out".
At the same time, if you think about it, there's literally a thousand other people there for the exact same reason as you. So you really aren't actually alone.
I went to see Charli XCX last year by myself… nobody I know is really a fan of her, so of course I had to go solo.
And honestly, joke’s on all of them because it was so much fun! 😂
Why would I not go to a concert by myself? Sure I prefer having a friend or girlfriend to go with me, but if I want to hear the works played, or the musicians, no doubt I will go alone!
I have, but it is never as good as being with friends.
Lots of people go to concerts by themselves but I'm not one of them haha. I don't go to concerts, bars, or sit down to eat in a restaurant by myself unless I'm meeting somebody there. To me those are like social things. I will sit down in a restaurant by myself if I'm on a road trip, though.
If it is someone you always wanted to see, then go. I would if it was a singer or group I've always listened to and had the opportunity to see them.
Besides, you may make some new friends at the concert sitting right beside you.
No. I would want to have my best friend or boyfriend with me.
absolutely not... besides the fact that i have anxiety and i hate how loud it is, it's pretty dangerous. could easily get taken advantage of and get lost, etc.
