Going to concerts with a bunch of friends has always been one of the best ways to have fun, but sometimes you have to go to a concert alone! Either you don’t have friends who happen to listen to the same kind of music or your friends can’t make it, you might have to go solo. Well, the point is you will be alone in a crowd. In this case, you might see yourself being alone, doing nothing, or you will have this image that you’re stranded in a group of people and you just have nothing to do but space out. After doing some research of to-dos when you are alone at a concert, I’m sure this article will help you a lot in being a single fighter. Here’s what you can do when you’re alone at a concert!

1.      Make Yourself Look Busy

The best way to make yourself appear busy is having your phone at all times. This is one of the reasons why tech savvies created Path, Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, to get yourself out of the boredom. Phone is a great distraction especially when you’re waiting for the concert to start. But make sure you have saved up enough battery or bring along its charger (sometimes at a concert’s booth, you can find an electrical plug), if your battery is drained, you are at a dead-end.

2.      Find A Fellow Single Fighter

“I am single, you’re single, then we can mingle”, this can be applied when you are alone at a concert. In doing this, you just have to use your mingling skill and act nicely. Use general jokes or something that you’re good at to ice-break the situation, if you’re scared they’d give a lame response to your jokes, you can discuss about the bands. if you feel there’s a connection, maybe you can go with him/her in the next concert.

3.      Entertain Yourself By Visiting An Interesting Booth

Every concert always has one or two interest booths. Each booth will give a different kind of entertainment, if it’s booth of a beer brand, they might have a beer-pong contest. Plus, you can befriend with the SPG or SPB, a good way to build  networking.

 4.      Search Twitter Feeds

Search twitter feeds might help you out from being lonely! Who knows if your friend or acquaintance is at the same gig. Updating also will help to inform some possible fellow friend at the same concert.

5.      Act Non-Chalant

The most important thing of being alone at a concert is just keep calm and don’t act like you are keyed up. Just act like nothing is wrong, don’t make yourself look confused with the situation.

Despite the contrary, there’s nothing wrong in being alone at a concert, because when the concert starts, what you’ll be doing is just to see your favourite musicians’ show, not having an endless chat with your friends. Just mind your own business and enjoy the concert you intend to. You might think people will see you as an a-social when you are going to a concert alone or maybe it’s just in your mind, but no one cares if you’re alone or you’re in a pack of hipster look-a-likes. Alone or not, the important thing is to unwind and have fun. Happy watching, single fighters!
