Trying to find a concert buddy.

Post Reply New Topic

There's a concert coming nov. 21. And I really want to go bad. Unfortunately there's nobody I know who would be interested in going. There's like one person I can think of who, judging by looks alone, might be interested. But I've never really talked to him. The problem is the type of music is not one that many people like. And it's not advisable to go to one like this alone.

Does the band have a Myspace or FB page? If so, maybe you could post something on there about the upcoming concert. Or maybe on the band's website there is some kind of message board type thing. Not that I'm suggesting you do anything unsafe, but maybe meet someone at the concert (if they have general admission seating). You don't say who the band is, but I've been to shows alone--it's not the worst thing in the world.

I'm in!

Seriously, just ask the guy you think might be interested. Tell him it's not a long-term commitment. Maybe he'll want to go, maybe he won't. Maybe you'll make a friend.

What type of music is this, if you don't mind me asking?

I personally kind of gave up trying to find someone to go to concerts with. (I have a bit of an avoidant personality disorder) I went to a heavy metal concert of three heavy bands alone. Going alone isn't really a bad thing, as long as you're entertained by nothing but the music.

Buy two tickets just in case. Then pop the word around when you see someone who might be a safe bet. If they bail just sell the ticket at cost at the concert. You'll have a good spot even if you end up going alone. My activities seem quite eclectic to that of my family so I'm always alone but I come back with interesting stories and anecdotes compared to some who've never left the state.

I can relate to this. I have some friends, but none of them like the same kind of music that I do. I've been to a few shows alone, and it's not a big deal. Is going alone a safety issue?

I know that this is too little, too late for the November concert, but I found a web site that seems to specialize in finding buddies for concerts and outdoor activities. Seems to have a lot of upcoming concert info on line. Haven't spent a lot of time there, but you could check it out: wannabuddy dot com and see if you can find someone for your next concert.
