    Going to a gig alone - Manchester...
    Hi guys, I thinking about going to Manchester in July to see a Morrissey gig in the Arena - no one ever comes to my city (well, no one that I want to see). I'm not sure about it though since I've never been to a gig alone before and I'm not too familiar with Manchester. It's a nighttime event too and the trains will be mad coming home.

    I just feel like it's one of those things that I'll think 'I wish I'd done that...'.

    Has anyone else traveled to go to gig on their own, how was it?

    You won't melt. You might even make some like-minded friends.

    I went to Leeds fest a couple of years ago on my own.

    Didn't regret it, met loads of people, had a blast.

    Definitely go, you won't regret it. It's not as if you go to a gig to have a chat anyway.

    Just go, you'll regret it otherwise.
    Talk to people there if you want, people will should be cool - and whether you do or don't you won't be the only one there alone.

    Besides, when the show is on it's not like you're socialising with mates anyway.

    Do it, I've been to many gigs alone and I look back on them more fondly than most gigs I've been to with mates

    Chances are you'll get chatting with someone and make a new mate, but worst case scenario you'll just stay quiet all night, that doesnt take away from it though
