Go, go now.
Concerts are about the music, not your friends, so go and ENJOY THE MUSIC.
Yes
No
Maybe
So Arcade Fire is playing 2 free shows here in Cleveland. I need to make a decision in the next 25 minutes to whether or not I will attend my first concert by myself because none of my friends can or want to go. What would you do. I really like Arcade Fire, but I also don't want to be that tool at a concert by himself
Go, go now.
Concerts are about the music, not your friends, so go and ENJOY THE MUSIC.
Part of the reason you're struggling with this decision is that you perceive people who attend concerts (and likely movies as well) to be tools. Most people don't. Go for it.
I don't know that I'd go to a big stadium concert by myself, just because I know I'd probably be overwhelmed by navigating that many people on my own. But I've gone to a few smaller shows on my own and had a great time.
With that logic, I'm going! I've gone to like 3 movies by myself, it only felt weird buying the ticket.. alright thanks!
lotta pussy at shows will put out
I go to movies by myself all the time (I prefer it, actually), and all my friends assume that people must give me a hard time but it's simply not the case. No one gives a , really.
No, but I'm lazy and it's raining here.
For Arcade Fire, maybe. Okay, probably yes.
Nope, gotta roll with your homies or somebody at least but going by yourself? Nah
It has always seemed silly to me to skip on something I want to do because no one is free or willing to attend with me.
So, I include friends whenever possible but have no problem going solo.
Go and enjoy.
You may even make new friends in the process.![]()
I went to a Dave Matthews Band concert by myself a fews years back and got a thrid road ticket! Best concert expierence I have had to date!
I hope you went to the concert and had a good time ThunderDan!
I've been to one concert by myself, it was fine. I go to movies by myself all the time; doesn't really matter to me because a movie isn't a place I want conversation anyway. One of my favorite places to attend alone are golf tournaments; I went to the Masters alone once and it was one of the coolest things I've ever done. Oh and I met tons of interesting men!![]()
The only one on this board that would say this![]()

I'm very surprised that this is even a topic of contention...
Who's contentioning![]()
No serious contentioning (), just surprised it's even an issue I guess.
When it comes to concerts it just doesn't even come into my calculations whether or not friends are going with me - if I want to go, I'll go regardless. Then again, I am 6'7" and male, and have always been a bit of a loner, so going most places alone is not an issue for me.
Well there you have it, bucko! When you live in a large town America now days, and your a chick, going to a concert by your self, it could be a little risky, unless you're packin' heat or pepperspray![]()

Or you're so loaded you don't give a fvk![]()
Gotcha!
But I bet Thunder Dan's no chick, so I reckon he'd be okay on his own... he is Thunder Dan after all!![]()
I go to the movies by myself too. It's better than going with friends because no one will talk to you during the movie and you can enjoy it more.
Well I went by myself and it was awesome. I met some cool people who also went alone. It was pretty funny to hear a Canadian band hold free rally concerts for Obama, but oh well I got to hear the songs I came for. It was a good decision to go and I guess it's not really my first concert alone because I spent all of day 3 at Lollapalooza alone so I could be up front for Pearl Jam. I ended up meeting some really nice people from New York I still keep in touch with. I actually might start doing this more on weekdays.
it was at the place called the Beachland which is right in the very worst end of Cleveland (Bone Thugs are from around there). I have to admit, I was pretty scared parking the car and walking over there
It's def more fun when you go with people, but if its something I really want to see I'll go by myself without a doubt.
