And how do you meet people at gigs when you are by yourself, without them thinking you are weird?

I should have said that its cuz none of my mates are into the music I am and they refuse to come with.

It's not weird at all darling.
I think you are very very brave. Just be careful being out late by yourself, make sure plenty of people know where you are at what times etc. x
I quite often go to the cinema by myself, it helps me get away from everything, me time, as much as i love my friends, sometimes it's good for you to reflect inwardly, no approval needed!! x
Have fun and be safe. x x x

There's nothing sad with it at all. Pretty much all of the gigs I go to I end up at on my own. not because I don't have any friends, or no-one likes the same music as I do. To be honest if anyone wanted to go to it woud be cool, but it's just not an issue with me. I have nights out like this purely because for the rest of the time I'm a parent to two wonderful kids who I do everything with, but every now and then I need an escape. And that's what I do.

No it is not sad to go to a gig by yourself, but in the same respect their are some very weird people at them and you have to be very careful, maybe just try talk to a group of girls before it starts and hopefully because they are so excited about going they will take you under their wing, have a great time but be careful OK.

it's not weird though I've never done it. If a band like the White Stripes came and no one wanted to see them with me, I'd definitely go alone. To meet people there, maybe strike up a conversation with someone while waiting to get in or at the bar or wherever you stand at the gig. Just be careful!

No, its not sad or weird. There is no reason why you shouldn't enjoy your particular music tastes and go along to the gigs.
As to how you meet people ... well, everyone is there presumably because they like the same sort of music. So just comment on the music to anyone nearby, chat about the band ... you've got something in common already.

it could actually be quite pleasant, like going to the cinema on your own. if someone approaches you at a gig when you are on your own, turn it to your advantage of how cool and brave this girl is, she has got balls to go to a gig on her own! think of the music, and forget all about the people that are around you. do it all for the music, make that be the main and only reason to go to the gig ,usic. people will come later. i have lots of friends, but the most fun i ever had was when i went to the cinema on my own and subsequently to my friend's gig on my own...i still treasure that day, and look forward to more me time!

it's not weird at all. I went to a gig with my friend in manchester and she wasn't really into the band and i got chatting to these great guys from warrington and i had the best night ever. You just get chatting to people. . . but as everyone else has said be careful.

I struggle to go to gigs by myself, big problem when my friends have a completely different taste in music to me :( i did go to the Rolling stones and Bon Jovi by myself this year, wasn't bad but wished i had someone to go with, difficult to explain to someone how good a band or artist was live when no one went with you to back it up. I would try my space and face party, check their groups to see if they have a group for the band or artist you are going to see. From there you could find people who are going :)
hope this helps

No it is not. I think it is fun to go places by myself. I find that its actually easier to meet people that way, and they do seem to be surprised when they find out, but they didn't seem to think i was a weirdo. You can approach people and they will approach you (same as it is when you have a friend with you.) And like many say be careful, but of course you should be careful even if you are with people because if something goes down (like a robbery, fight, shooting) then you will most likely be on your own.

It is fine! Lots of people go to restaurants, movies etc. on their own - why not concerts? Probably a good way to meet people with similar interests.
P.S. BEING SINGLE IS NOT A CRIME!
