1. Be Obnoxious with Posters
There’s nothing wrong with creating signs to show love for an artist, but remember that there’s a sea of people around you who feel the same way. If you are a superfan, check out tips for planning a concert trip to ensure a great experience. Don’t hold your poster up for too long and block others' views; it’s rude and can cause unnecessary tension. Treat those around you with respect.
2. Bring Large Bags
You are going to get jostled, pressed against, and possibly knocked over, so having a bulky bag is an inconvenience. You don’t want a heavy purse digging into you or getting in anyone else's way. Try to bring as little as possible—a small crossbody bag or a wristlet is perfect. For more ideas on what to pack for a night out, read our guide on essential festival items.
3. Forget Money
Concert costs can add up quickly. Security will likely search your bags, and venue prices for water and snacks are often high. If you really love the band, you will probably want merchandise, too. Don't forget your wallet, and consider bringing a portable power bank, as staying connected is key. Check out the Ticketmaster official site for more venue-specific tips.
4. Expect Personal Space
Concerts are spaces where normal social rules don't quite apply. It’s not unusual to be pressed up against others who are dancing and sweating. If you find yourself getting frustrated, take a deep breath or step back to the edges of the crowd where it is often less dense.
