You Never Forget Your First Concert!

I was 12. I had just won some fabulous concert tickets from the radio station and was so excited! This was going to be great! Not only because it was a free for me concert, but because we had awesome seats and it was going to be my first concert experience ever! My excitement quickly fizzled when we arrived at the stadium and they informed us they changed it to open seating. Even though my tickets were for almost right on the stage, I had to sit up in the balcony, nose bleed section because we arrived too late to get up close. How crummy was that!? Since then, I kind of became a seat snob. I will stalk an upcoming show until the day the tickets go on sale. If I can't get within the first 10 rows or so, I don't go. If I am going to drop more than $50 on tickets to an event, I want to see what's going on!

So, when Jason tried talking me into taking the girls to a Fall Out Boy concert a week before the show, I said no. One does not buy tickets that close to the event and expect good seats! But, after a little more persuasion, and the fact that I remembered that Allison had "go to a concert" on her bucket list for this year, and since she has never been to one, I gave in. They were on tour with Paramore, which we happen to like too, so the ticket prices, even for crummy seats, were justifiable.

I could barely make out the people on the stage, but at least I could see them from my camera lens ;)

 I did worry about it being not age appropriate for a 10 year old. Not so much the songs (I think there were about 2 F bombs dropped during the show) but I was worried about the behavior of the other concert goers. Thankfully, everyone seemed to be on their best behavior, just wanting to come and have a good time.


Overall, the show was way beyond fabulous! This event taught me that it is ok to have crappy seats. I got to experience watching my daughter have a magical time going to her first concert, and we all got to rock out together as a family.


What was the first concert you ever went to?
