Have You Ever Gone to a Concert Alone?

I've gone to many concerts alone. I've traveled cross country and had drinks in lounges by myself. I can't think of a reason to not go alone.

hubby and i have few joint music interests thus i often go solo to concerts. no it's not lame at all!

Go! One of the things I love about being all grown up is not caring if I go some place alone versus feeling like a "loser" if I did when I was young. I go to the movies by myself fairly often now. It's my escape. If you really want to see this concert, just go. You'll enjoy it and not like you can talk a ton during a concert anyway. And if you're worried what other people will think - remember - who cares?? Likely if anyone questions you and you say you're a mom who really wanted to see this show, they will think it's great and invite you into their group.

Nope. I haven't. But, if there were a small venue concert that I was dying to see and had no other options, I probably would. :)
Once the band starts, that is what you are there for, so who cares if you just met the person(s) around you. You might even meet some interesting new people. And I bet you'll get hit on, so have your responses prepared in advance, lol.

No, it's not lame. It's empowering. Take the chance to go and enjoy something by yourself. Years ago, I figured out that I'd rather do things I really want to do by myself than miss them and kick myself or resent my spouse for not wanting to do them with me. I've been to see some truly amazing dance performances by myself (ballet is just not my hubby's thing), and I'm so glad I didn't miss them.

Go for it! I only went to a concert alone by myself once but I would absolutely do it again (I couldn't hook up with my friends because I had cheer tryouts which ran late and had to haul butt to make it to the venue on time.) I was 16 and it was Duran Duran :)

I have thought the same thing, about a month ago I missed out on a concert at a small venue because we couldn't get a babysitter. I really just love the artist and the music so the next he comes around, I'll go by myself if I have to.

Would it be lame? No way! I love doing things on my own. When I was younger, I wouldn't dream of doing things solo, but that is when I was young and insecure about doing things by myself. I am older, wiser and enjoy things a lot more. I go on walks by myself, movies, take myself to eat alone...it's my time to relax and have down time. I've seen people at concerts by themselves and they are having as much fun as I am. There is not a lot of talking during a concert, but if you wanted to tell someone how great the concert is, you can always tell the person standing next to you - they will probably echo the same sentiments and not care or notice that you didn't come with someone else. Enjoy yourself and don't worry about anything else!

No, I haven't, but when I was single, I lived within walking distance to a movie theater and I used to go to movies by myself all of the time (weeknights, matinees, whatever I wanted) and I LOVED it.

GO! You might be sorry you missed it if you don't.

You should definitely go if it's something you want to see! Going to concerts alone is a completely different experience than going with friends. It opens up the possibility to meet new people and gives you the freedom to explore the music and the venue on your own terms (plus, it's easier to get up close when you're solo :). It's nice to be able to share the experience with friends (as well as having a bit of a confidence booster), but going alone can be just as awesome! Have a good time however it works out!

Why would it be lame? Will you enjoy the music less because you don't have a date?

I thought it would be lame too, but I forced myself to do it because there was a concert I was dying to see back when I was single. It ended up being completely fun and I made friends with the people in the seats next to me. It was worth it! At first I was self-conscious thinking people around me would be looking at me and feeling sorry for me, but people could care less. They are too wrapped up in their own fun any way!

Go for it.

Sometimes being on your own is more fun!

I done it but it was because it was a last minute thing and I knew one of the guys in the band and I had some stuff for him to take home to his wife. It was easier to throw it on the tour bus and not pack it all up and mail it to her.

I eventually saw the drum tech and he brought me up on stage to watch the show from behind the drummer. COMPLETLY different prospective back there but REALLY loud!

Go and enjoy. Others don't know or care whether you are alone or not. I went to concerts all the time alone when I was single.
