Ok! I am wanting to get tickets to a concernt about an hour away but have no way to get there without someone taking me and I want to go with someone. Sadly I have no friends around me so I was thinking to perhaps buy tickets and mention this when I'm back on campus "Hey I have these tickets to a concernt does anyone want to go with me?" I'm not "buying friendship." I honestly HAVE NO FRIENDS to go with! :-( Is this a good idea or not?

Nobody wants to do things with me either, got barely any friends too.

Well I would try it and see if anyone would take you up on your offer. It's a way to meet people and be friends with them.

Is there anyone that you know who is not a friend yet, but who you would like to be friends with? Perhaps a classmate or someone who lives near you. You could ask this person if they're interested in going to the concert with you--mention that to cover their gas for driving, you can buy their ticket. If they say yes, then you're golden :) If they say no, just find another person who you might want to be friends with, and ask them to come to the concert with you.

When you go to the concert, use it as an opportunity to develop a friendship with them. Ask them some good questions about themselves during the car ride, and do your best to make them comfortable. If you enjoy being with them and they enjoy being with you, at the end of your time together it's appropriate to express how much you enjoyed hanging out, and ask them if they want to hang out again another time. If they say yes, congratulations :) You're on your way to a friendship.
