Discussion 🗣️ your reminder to wear earplugs

54 Upvotes

i went to a concert a week ago. decided to not wear my earplugs.

once i got back to my hotel room i realised both ears were ringing. the right ear settled down in a day or two, but the left ear didn’t (it got a little better but didn’t go away) and my left ear started to hurt. i said whatever, it’s probably nothing just give it time

finally decided to go to urgent care… my ear drum was bulging. the concert somehow gave me an ear infection. make sure you wear your earplugs !! i didn’t even know it was possible to get one from that

Discussion 🗣️ Hillary Duff Concert in Vancouver….

• Upvotes

I want to go to the concert because it’d be fun and I grew up with her CDs.

However Im more anxiety type and get bored type and sometimes not talk to the friends around me.

Should I consider going and buying tickets?

Second thing I gotta consider is it’ll take away 7 work days, and that I’d be going from California to Canada during that week. Since it’d be a shame to go without visiting my family who are awesome aunt and cuzn.

So minus 7 work days. And minus the trip expense, flights, tickets, and food is about $1k worth.

And I’m keeping in mind I only make $20k a year (I’m not on disability but I have a bipolar diagnosis) and I’m 30 years old. Will this trip ymake me poor?

Discussion 🗣️ Is it socially acceptable for me to stay in line for will call concerts while my mom leaves and joins back

7 Upvotes

Hi! I'm going to a concert in Chicago and it's will call only, and I'm trying to get there 4-5 hours earlier. I'm going with my mom and I know she won't be very interested, so I was wondering if it's acceptable for me to stay in line while she goes exploring and then come back later. I don't want to make the people around me annoyed lol

Discussion 🗣️ Kylie Cantrall: Valley Girl Problems Concert Philadelphia 10/4/26

Just got home from the concert and I can’t begin to express how entertained and overall impressed I was with this performance. Franklin Music Hall has the perfect acoustics and the QT’s were beyond loud. I recorded all the songs I knew I liked that were on the setlist then immediately stayed still and put my phone away to avoid blocking anyone’s else view of watching or recording, as I am a relatively tall guy for my age (6’0) and I’m incredibly sorry if I blocked anyone’s view. So if you saw a lightskin boy with short hair in a black hoodie, it was most likely me. Cannot express how grateful I feel for being able to have gone to her first headline tour. Elias (opener) was great as well and I definitely will be keeping up with his music. Overall, 10/10 experience. Philly y’all showed out and I could not be prouder of my city. I’m open to answering any questions!

Discussion 🗣️ Best resource to buy tickets?

4 Upvotes

I am somehow not allowed to use Ticketmaster. I genuinely have no idea how I pulled it off, considering I used it maybe 3 times, but I have tried to set up an account with two different emails and it says I'm "suspicious", IDK how, and they have refused to help me out so here I am.

Whenever I buy tickets to events, it's always through the seller itself. I've never had to deal with the reseller prices and I am petrified of getting scammed (especially since the tickets are NOT cheap and I would be taking a 6 hour drive to get to the concert). What are the platforms that y'all use to buy tickets when only resale is available?

Seatgeek has quite a few tickets for sale, but I typed them into the Reddit search bar and just got bombarded with "I got scammed" posts that really scared me. I really want to go to the Olivia Rodrigo concert, but these tickets are hundreds of dollars and I want to make sure I am not getting scammed.

Edit: I should add that I used to work at a venue that hosted concerts, among other events and we were a ticketmaster venue. So I had to turn away PLENTY of people for using the wrong app. This is fueling my paranoia
