depending on the size of the venue/crowd, the artist, etc. advice will really differ lol

no matter what tho stay hydrated and know where your friends are all the time, if it’s a bigger event make sure that you guys have a place you’ve agreed to meet up if you get split up or smth and make sure your phone is well charged

i’ve only been to two proper concerts, one seated and the other quite small and both of them i went to while i was way younger (one when i was 6 and and the other when i was 9), so i can’t give the best tips but just keep in mind if it is a big venue with a large crowd know your own capacity for big events and make sure to stick with your friends!

most of this is advice i’ve gotten from others online and from my mum, who is a very experienced concert goer lol

hope you have a good time and you have a great time at the show!! hopefully this helped a bit lol

check bag rules! some venues require bags of a certain size, some require clear bags, and some require a combination of both! it's the worst feeling to have to leave your stuff in the car

try to bring in your own water or water bottle, even if its a plastic one. water is often WAYYYY overpriced at venues, so it's a lot more affordable to bring your own. trust me, you'll defo need water

wear steel toed boots incase of people stepping on you. it causes a lot less damage.

SPEAKING OF PEOPLE STEPPING ON YOU,,, MOSH PITS. if you get in or around a mosh pit, make sure to block areas of your body like your head. even if the musician isn't punk, mosh pits can start pretty easily at most concerts, so doing research about mosh safety is going to be crucial.

that's all i can think of!!! good luck!!

nosebleed seating. it's not that bad.

every concert ive been in has been in the nosebleeds and yk what

my autistic ass loved it

i can't be in crowds. as a short king, i like being up high. the dippin dots line was like 2 people.

you can still hear and see the music

i am a nosebleed apologist.

bring a lot of water, and know where the restrooms are. Trust me, you’ll need it.

Also be sure to go with a friend/guardian if you can and STICK TOGETHER, it’s important for safety and overall convenience.

EAT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE VENUE !!! food there will most likely be expensive as all hell, or it might not even have foot in the first place.

CHECK BAG RULES CHECK BAG RULES CHECK BAG RULES.

check the venue's rules! some of them have peculiar requirements. also check the band's rules!! one band i saw didn't allow cans or bottles to be served because ppl threw them and they hurt.

stop by the merch place (if there's one) i didn't get to go at one of the concerts i went to and i rlly regret it

wear comfy clothes!!! obvi u still wanna look cool but i don't suggest big platforms bc there will b lots of standing

bring sum1 w/ u!! concerts r more fun together. also its harder to get kidnapped if there's sum1 with u

don't be on ur phone. i went to a phone-less concert and it was the best one i've been too. it was so much more fun to be actively watching the band and participating in the crowd than to be recoring it

stay!!!!! hydrated!!!!!!

if there's a mosh pit, be careful!! moshing can b fun but lots of ppl have gotten hurt, so just make sure to pay attention to ur surroundings if there is one and ur in it

@Sleepy_Loss: yes!!! most of the concerts I've been to had a mosh pit. neither of them were punk (jack white and black label society) i don't think any1 got hurt but its still best to be super careful
