Tickets are going to be hot, so don’t sleep on it. Set a reminder on your phone, recruit your friend who’s always on top of sales, and maybe clear your calendar for the on-sale day. It’s totally normal to panic-close your browser and then text your group chat, “DID WE GET THEM?”
Don’t worry about going alone either. Concerts are the easiest places to make temporary best friends. You’ll bond with the person next to you over your shared love for the bassist’s hair or a particularly good guitar solo. It’s low pressure and high reward.

What to expect when you get there
Arrive early enough to grab a drink and soak in the pre-show buzz. The opening acts are usually solid, so give them a chance. When the lights drop and that first chord hits, just let go. You are no longer a person with bills and a to-do list. You are a fan, and that’s all that matters.
You will probably cry during a ballad. That’s fine. Everyone else is doing it too. And you will definitely lose your voice. Consider it a badge of honour. The next day at work, you’ll have a wonderful, slightly raspy story to tell anyone who asks why you look so tired but happy.
