Question Do you go to concerts alone ?

Do you go to concerts alone ? I have in the past and I am tonight but when I tell people I am going to a concert they allways ask me who am I going with and when I say just myself they seem to have the reaction they would never go alone.

Back when I was single I liked going places alone knowing I would meet interesting people.

I always thought it would be odd so I never have. But lately there have been a few concerts I really wanted to go to but missed because I couldn't find anyone else who wanted to go and was also available that night. I see other people at concerts who are obviously on their own, so I've been thinking why not try it.

I guess you could always buy two tickets and pretend your "friend" backed out at the last minute.

I used to go alone... but then I did it so often I ended up knowing most of the people in the music scene. Now I can go alone, but I am never alone when I get there. there's always someone I know at a concert here.

if it was a band I dug, why not. Lately I've been going with my 12 yr old son. I've got 4th row for Masters of Metal this saturday, he'll be blown away.

Only once, when I went to see HIM. I really wanted to see them (I'm a massive HIM fan) and nobody else would go with me.

At the time I also lived across the road from the venue.

If I can't find anyone else to go with me, then yeah I'll go alone. I'm not missing a band I like just 'cause someone else doesn't feel like going out that night.

I recently went to a bluegrass festival alone, knowing my friend was going but assuming I wouldn't meet up with him. Of course I miraculously ran into one other kid from school and hung out with him. The time I intended to go alone, I wasn't alone.

I did see Brian Haas and Reed Mathis from JFJO with the Benevento/Russo Duo in a bar alone once. That was fun.

I sometimes go to shows alone and have a great time.

Enjoy STP Kevin!

Yes, mainly due to the fact that my Fiancee hates everything. Going to see guttermouth tonight all by my lonesome. WooHoo!

went to see Einsturzende Neubauten with this girl once. All she did was talk, and complain that she didn't "get it". She wanted me to leave with her, but I didn't.

She talked too much, anyway.

Depends on the location of the venue. If it's close I could go alone, but I don't like to be in unfamiliar places by myself.
