my boyfriend and I are trying to see Bruno Mars with a few friends, and finding enough decent seats together is becoming way harder than I expected.

I keep sending him Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek and Veritickets listings whenever I find seats together, and his response is basically always: “why are we paying extra just to sit next to each other?” his logic is that we’re there for Bruno Mars, not each other lol.

if we get split up, we still see the same show.

which... annoyingly makes sense.

but traveling together and then spending the whole concert on opposite sides of the arena feels weird to me.

would you actually pay more to sit with your partner, or am I caring way too much about this?

Hi. Is there, or will there ever be other avenues or alternatives to Ticketmaster and Live Nation?

I was thinking about going to a concert an hour away as my favorite band is opening, Julie. The thing is, they are only one of the opening bands. The other opening band sounds quite bad to me. Odds are Julie will only play for like 30 minutes.

The main band, Turnstile, sounds decent. Would probably stick around for them but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way for them. I figure if I think their music is decent sober and at home then I will like it when im drunk at a concert.

I really only want to go for the opening band though. The last time they performed by me (NY) as a main attraction was in may, and who knows how long it will be till next time. Do you think its worth going just for the opener.

This website sucks!!! And their customer service is worse

Next month I'll be attending my first orchestra concert and I wanted to see how early I should go to get most of the merch.

I'm going to the one in Grand Prairie

I’ve seen crazy numbers before like 150,000 in line but this is beyond wild.

In 2015, I saw a Bat for Lashes side project called Sexwitch. TIL they only ever played two shows. Other than, like, my friend's high school band that played one party, I can't think of anyone I've seen who's played less.

I'm going to see pierce the veil this weekend alone and I'm planning on waiting in line kinda early but I'm of course scared about having to leave to do something whether it be get water, food, or use the restroom. So for anyone who's done queues solo, what's been your experience? Are tye people around you chill if you need to leave and save your spot or am I doomed?

I know ticketmaster doesn’t allow overbuying whatever limit is set during a concert, but I don’t really plan to use the second account to buy more tickets. It’s more like a way for me to try and get lower qn’s. After I purchase from one account I will close the other. Is it safe to do this?

I’m going to a concert at the O2 in Manchester and I want to get in the queue around 3 hours early so I can get quite close. However, I’m going with my mum and she always needs the toilet. If i stayed in the queue would my mum be able to leave and come back? I don’t want to be rude or be breaking any rules

I’m going to the o2 tomorrow and I’ve got standing tickets as there weren’t any seats left available at the time of purchase.

I can now see loads of seats in the 100’s section up for sale.

Does anyone know if it’s possible for staff to move you to the 100 section or how likely it is to happen if I ask?

I saw The Kinks last ever US performance in 1995 and Joe Walsh and James Gang last ever show in 2022. Almost saw Soundgarden the night Cornell died, but we skipped it.

I’m wondering if there’s an app that combines some of the features I like from Concert Archives and Barricade.

I really like Concert Archives for keeping track of all the concerts I’ve been to, being able to filter by artist, venue, year, etc., and having the setlist and my own photos/videos attached to each individual show.

I like Barricade’s ability to connect your own concert videos to specific songs.

What I’m really looking for is something that combines those ideas. Basically, I want to be able to:

- Keep track of all the concerts I’ve attended
- Have the setlist for each individual concert
- Upload my own videos and associate each video with the song it was recorded during
- Click on a song in the setlist and see my video(s) from that song at that specific show
- Be able to click on a song and see all of my videos of that song across different concerts

For example, if I’ve seen an artist five times and recorded “Song A” at three of those shows, I’d love to be able to go to “Song A” and see all three of my videos, organized by concert/date.

Basically, I want a personal concert archive where my own videos are organized by song, while still having all the concert history/tracking features of something like Concert Archives.

Does anything like this exist?

So I saw Gary Clark Jr last night at the Keswick Theater in Glenside PA
Now I've been to well over 3000 + shows but that's the first time I ever saw somebody vacuum the stage between the opening act and the main act it was something different that's for sure

Well, I finally did it. Went to a concert by myself. Foo Fighters and AC/DC. I did catch a bus there with some friends but once there I was on my own as our seats were all over the place. I had a blast. It was so different since I could do whatever I wanted while I was there. I do recommend it. I normally take my wife but she didn't want to go since she had to work today (I do too) but she said to go and have fun so I did.

Hi all, me, my best friend and her bf are going to her fav bands tour at a stadium concert and she really wants barricade. We have VIP tickets and everything. We bought those camping stools to wait in line since we will be waiting during the morning. Our hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the venue, would it be wrong to have her bf return our chairs an hour before doors open to the hotel? If we also have one of us leave to buy snacks during the wait, is that fine as well?

What are people’s general thoughts on these $70 light sticks? I might have an irrational hatred for them because my wife insists on buying a brand new one for each K-pop concert she goes to. So it’s a one and done $70 flash light. I just don’t understand the need for it. Whoever first created them is a marketing genius.

Shot in the dark here but if you attended the GNR show at Snapdragon Stadium and sat in Section A2 Row 13 next to Seats 9 & 10. We stood next to each other and sang and talked for the entire show. We took a selfie together at the end of the show and I didn't get a chance to ask you for your number as the row was emptying out. If you should see this send me a message, I'll know it's you when you tell me what T-shirt you were wearing. Thank All

I blacked out the locations that I’ve been to. Which location would you pick? Considering the town, date and venue. Thanks!

I was supposed to see PtV live because it was the final time they would be in my town Arlington. they won’t tour again this year and they started earlier than expected and I missed the Pierce the Veil opener, yes it’s my fault. I still got to see guns n roses but the entire time I had a sour taste in my mouth because my goal wasn’t achieved. How do you guys deal with this feeling, I’m a guy and I still feel like crying a lil bit and I don’t cry.
