Tips for going to a concert alone?

what do you not get to bring friends?

>>72910463
Step 1: Don't be autistic
Step 2: Don't be ugly
If you've got those down you're goos to go.

i just drink until the opening acts are finished and then go to frontcenter and enjoy the show, once it's over i use the restroom and leave quietly afterwards

>>72910463
Just stand and wait and watch
If someone tries to talk to you then talk to them and don't come across too autistic

No tips needed, you just go.

Bring your phone with something to read on it because you'll have down time between sets and nobody to talk to.

>phone with something to read on it
Would it be autistic to bring a book?

Most of my irl friends, with the exception of a few, aren't into the same stuff I am so I'm used to going to shows alone. I'm decent enough socially and I'm usually fucked up on benz and opis so I interact with basically everyone. I've made a few a few friends at shows and even met one of my ex gfs at a show I went to alone. Basically if you don't have crippling anxiety and don't mind shooting the shit with strangers you'll be fine and have a good time

>>72910463
Just go and enjoy the show. You might even makes friends in the process. Why do you even need tips for that?

>>72910590
Yes

>>72910669

Because this site is full of autistic weirdos who make social interaction out to be a lot more difficult than it really is.

>>72910463
don't forget to bring your ticket

Be sure to check out if they sell something at the beggining of the concert
I missed on some quality vinils that were just 10 bucks like that

>>72910463
Why do you even need to bring friends. My friends all have shitty music taste and wouldn't be bothered to come. Just go listen to the band and drink. Not hard.

>>72911538
Pretty much this. Nobody is interested in going unless its a band we used to listen to in high school no ones interested in club shows for some reason.

OP enjoy the show trust me youre not the only one whos there alone and when the bands are playing no ones judging everyones paying attention to the show.. Bring ear plugs (maybe spares for strangers).

>>72910503
Fuck you I'm not autistic.
>>72910651
I don't do drugs. Any other tips?
>>72911033
WTF that's a really stupid tip. Are you retarded?

bring a couple of joints and share them with people before the show starts, you're guaranteed to make a couple pals

>>72912269
See >>72912269. I don't do any drugs and don't really want to.

just go and enjoy the show it's not hard lol

>>72912269
There's no hope. You really do have autism.

>>72910463
Me on the left

>>72910590

>just do drugs lolol
man, this is a sad state of affairs

>>72910463
buy your ticket ahead of time so you don't have to pay the extra fee at the door

>>72912416
>>72912349
looks like we got a couple of squares

OP here.
>>72912269
>>72912349

>>72912427

dudes who have to get fucked up to enjoy anything are worse off than the autists imo

Mosh

>>72910651
why did you leave the o out of benzos

>>72910503
why does that matter? you're just there to hear music

Go see a band and enjoy yourself. Not really that hard.

>>72910590
lol

>>72912573
this is actually a pretty good tip. the crowds at hardcore shows I've been to have been friendly af

>>72910590
no, but illiterate plebs might laugh at you

>>72910471
Take a wild guess

Don't be afraid to talk to people if its at a normal time to do it but don't be autistic about it.
I never go to shows alone but I know plenty of people who do and its perfectly normal.

>>72910463
dont show up super early you'll be bored, go the bar when you arrive, then find a good spot and listen

at that point you go all the way and bring a fucking reading chair and a lamp too

>>72910463
Anyone have the non-meme version fo that pic

Bring weed

I've been to countless shows by myself, never talked to anyone. Just got high, stood around, and visited the merchandise booth. Never had a problem with it

>tfw resent people that have friends

>>72910463
Just go it's not an actual party the people who act like it is are just posers who dick ride artists.

>>72912416
Hello virgin

>>72917732
Those girls are sooo fuckign fine man jesus

>>72917839
>cant even get laid without drugs
even worse

Have a friendly disposition
Don't make weird eye contact with people
Chat up the bartender or merch table worker if you're feeling uncomfortable


EASY MODE: Take edibles/opioids/xanax before and you'll be comfy as fuck

>>72917896
Seriously, all these brock turners on 4chan lately just make me sick.

definitely do some drugs before you go and if possible do some drugs while youre there

i have gone to a few shows alone and it's actually not bad

like i'd prefer company and whatever, but sometimes you just don't have anyone to go with

>>72912573
this is the correct answer if you go to a metal show and mosh its like instant friends

>>72910471
they are not his friends

>>72914852
rofl

>>72910463
Just go and have fun. No one cares that you're alone. Chances are, no one will even notice that you're there unless go out of your way to make yourself noticeable. You'll be fine. No one's judging you.

>>72917921
Life is the greatest drug there is
Drowning it out with other drugs is to your own detriment

>>72910463
Hide in the bathroom until it starts. Don't wait in line by yourself. But really just go and have fun.

HAVE FUN ALWAYS!

>>72918025
I know, getting drunk and rapeing a girl and then laughing at the people who chase you down is so sick. Does he really think people are going to ever forget his name/face?

>>72917911
>Don't make weird eye contact with people
Don't make weird no-eye contact either. Find the right balance

>>72918689
>Don't make weird no-eye contact either.
if you practice enough, you can pull this off
always pretend like you're looking at something else, something really interesting
bop around like you're looking over people to see the thing
go "Oh hey! Haha!" and wave or do an upward head nod
move around the crowd
as a bonus, if you do it just right, people will think you're really cool and popular

>>72918792
Yeah, please no one do this

>>72918954
it really works, no joke
when people talk to you you only need to give simple replies
>Oh yeah, haha
>yeah man, totally!
sound genuine when you answer, but do the whole act so they know you're doing something else
they'll feel good and think you're a popular guy

>>72918792
>don't make weird eye contact

fuck that, stare at all the hot bitches. if any guys look at you funny just ask them if they have a problem.

I almost exclusively go to concerts alone.
Don't get there early
I shitpost while no bands are playing

>>72910463
Tips? Just fucking go. I swear people are so god damn worried about what others are thinking when literally no one gives a fuck about you. Show up, get a drink at the bar, go stand and watch the band. During the interlude before another band comes on, go outside and sit on your phone like every other fucking person on the planet and then come back in and watch the rest of the show. NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOU IS THE REAL SAD TRUTH ABOUT LIFE, NOT THAT YOU'RE AT A SHOW ALONE

>>72914124
Montie I doubt you can get any friends (if you have them) to come to you shitty oasis concerts

someone please post the anco pasta

You must be from Africa or the middle east.

Always buy two beers and tell people you're bringing it to your "girlfriend" up front. Got to 4th row Metallica that way.
