    Just ask your parents to take you into the concert. During the concert they could go out to eat or have a date night. If something happens during the concert just yell for help. As a fan of TOP as well, I know that Tyler/Security is always making sure everyone's safe and happy. When the concert is over, just call them to be picked up. If you're a girl make sure to be extra careful.
  • Question
    How can I convince my parents to let me go to a concert?

    Try showing them that you're responsible and show them how much you love the artist. If they are worried about your safety, try to make them comfortable with it in whatever way you can - e.g., by having an adult with you, having your phone with you and calling them when you're there, etc.

    See if you can get a group of friends together to go! Most likely at least one of your friends' parents will want to chaperone, so that person can drive you to and from the concert.

    What do I do when I don't have any money for a ticket and can't afford it on my own, and I don't have anyone to go with?
    Community Answer
    Well, first of all, you should check the date of the concert that you want to go to. Make sure the date is far away enough for you to save money, and plan things out. Then you could also do chores, or mow lawns for neighbors and things like that to earn money. Then if you have an older sibling, parent, or aunt or uncle, ask them to go with you.

  • Question
    How do I know if a concert is appropriate for my age?
    Jenna
    Community Answer
    If there are videos of the artist performing on YouTube, those might give you an idea of the crowd. If the artist you want to see has lots of young fans (Shawn Mendes, Why Don't We, etc), that could also help you decide if the concert is appropriate. If the artist's music is explicit and meant for older teens/adults, the crowd will probably be a bit rougher.
  • Question
    I’m 14 and I’m going to a concert. How can I prove that I’m 14? Should I take a photo of my passport?
    Jenna
    Community Answer
    If the concert is all-ages, you don't have to prove how old you are. Also, if you're going to see a popular artist and there's going to be a lot of people there, the people working at the venue usually just check your ticket and bag, then let you in.

    I am going to a 'suicide silence' concert, it is an all ages event but I'm not sure if they will let me in. Can I go at age 15 without a parent or guardian? How can I be sure that they will let me in?
    Community Answer
    You can call them ahead of the event, or check the website and see if the venue is 18+ or not. Always try to get as much information as you can beforehand. If you cannot be sure, have a plan B for being immediately collected and taken home if you cannot get in.
