I remember the first concert I went to when I was in eighth grade. It was around Christmas time. I had received the tickets as a birthday present earlier in the year from my mom. She even bought an extra one for my best friend. Best friends make everything better!
Wow, the concert was beyond my expectations. All of the lights, and dancers were spectacular. Of course, getting to sing every song along with my favorite artist was a blast.

Based on my experience with concert attending, I have 5 tips to help you have fun while you’re at a concert:

1. Go with people who like the same artist and know the songs. You definitely want to make sure your concert buddy is fun.

2. Bring spending money. There are always things you will want to purchase. I still have my t-shirt from my first concert. When I wear it, people always ask if I bought it at the show.

3. Get the best seats you can afford. You can’t ever be too close to the stage unless it’s “standing room only” in which case you could be too short.

4. Plan your outfit. Be sure to wear something comfortable, especially if you plan on dancing and jumping around. Tennis shoes are always best.

5. Make sure your phone is charged and ready. You definitely want to take photos and videos to remember these moments.

I hope these tips help you enjoy your next concert. They definitely helped me!
