QuestionMy friend bought a ticket for me for my birthday my mom said yes my dad said no what should I do to convince him? He's scared I'll get lost and never come back.Community AnswerSit down with your dad and study the venue. Find a spot for you to wait for your friend in case you get separated.

QuestionWhat if I have already bought the tickets with my own money and the concert is this weekend? How do I ask them if I can go?Community AnswerFirst of all, you shouldn't have bought the tickets without permission from your parents. Don't tell them you already bought tickets. You could tell them a friend bought tickets and he/she wants to sell you one so you can go with them. If there is a responsible adult going, make sure to tell your parents that part, and tell them you'll come straight home after the concert.

QuestionHow do I ask about seeing a band (with my own money) without seeming ungrateful for the concert I'm going to (their present) the week after?Community AnswerThank them for the concert they provided for you, then wait a little while and ask politely to go to another concert.
-
QuestionWhat if I only heard about the concert a few days before it and didn't have enough time to save money?Community AnswerBe honest with your parents and let them know you would've saved money for a ticket if you had known about the concert sooner. Offer to do chores in exchange for the ticket, or to pay them back if they lend you the money.

QuestionWhat if it is on a school night? How would I convince my parents to take me? I have a pretty early bedtime for my age.Community AnswerAs long as you don't have any major tests, projects, or events occurring at school the next day, the only problem your parents should have with you going is curfew. Explain to them (nicely) that you're only asking to extend curfew for the one instance, and that you've already completed everything that is due tomorrow. (Don't lie, make sure you actually get the work done.) If they say they'll think about it, drop the issue. Don't nag them about it.
-
QuestionWhat if my parents are not comfortable with the time the concert starts?Community AnswerRemind them that it's a one-time thing, you're not asking for your curfew to be permanently altered. If you're going with a responsible adult or friend, remind them of that as well. Tell them that you will have your phone with you so that you can be in contact with them, and remind them that you've earned their trust by being responsible and well-behaved (assuming you have).

QuestionI have to go to concert that is a bit far away, how can I convince my parents to let me go? My cousins are willing to come with me.Community AnswerAsk your cousins to ask your parents with you, parents are less likely to say no when more people are around, plus your cousins are family so your parents probably trust them.
-
QuestionWhat if I don't have friends that want to go?Community AnswerYou can ask a sibling, cousin, or even your parents to come with you or enjoy the show alone.
-
QuestionWhat should I do if the ticket is really expensive?Community AnswerYou should save up as much money as you can by doing odd jobs or chores around your home/neighborhood. You could also make a deal with your parents to make up for the cost of the ticket somehow.
-
QuestionWhat if I just got in trouble?Community AnswerIf the concert isn't for awhile, wait a few weeks to ask. If it's soon, just apologize for whatever you did and offer to make up for it somehow - by doing extra chores, bringing your grades up, looking after your siblings, etc. If they say no, don't get upset. Wait a few days and ask again.
-
QuestionMy parents aren't really open to my opinions about music, but I really want to go to this concert. What do I do?Community AnswerTell them how much you really want to go to the concert and explain why it is important to you. If they are good listeners, they may come around.
-
QuestionI have a choir concert that I need to attend in less than half an hour. I have not told my parents about it yet, and am super nervous on what to say, my parents have been stressed out all week. What do I do?Community AnswerWith only a half an hour until you need to go, it doesn't matter what mood they're in at this point. You need to ask them immediately.
-
QuestionWhat if I really want to go to a concert with my friend, but my parents think it's too dangerous and won't let me go?Community AnswerDiscuss the venue of the concert with them. If they still think it's dangerous, ask a person your parents trust to be a chaperone for the concert to ensure your safety. If the estimated time you will return home is pretty late, ask them beforehand if you could go to school late the next day. Tell them you'll make up for any work you have missed.
-
QuestionMy parents think it's too far away and won't let me try to earn the money to pay for it. What should I do?Community AnswerAsk for it for an early birthday or Christmas present. If they don't want to drive you, see if a friend's parents would be willing to do it. Tell them how important this is to you and what a fun experience it would be, but don't whine while you're trying to convince them.
-
QuestionWhat if my parents think they're inappropriate?Community AnswerYou probably should not be going to an inappropriate concert. Listen to your parents.
-
QuestionMy father is a really strict man and the concert is today. I don't know how to ask him. He never lets me hang out with my friends.Community AnswerReassure him that you will be safe with your friends. Tell him that a friend's parent is going, even if that isn't true. It's not good to lie, but this is a white lie and probably harmless. Tell him that you're getting older, you're more mature, and you've earned his trust.

QuestionMy mom is asking me to sit at home and study, but I want to attend my favorite band's concert for the first time in my life. My mom and dad said no. How do I ask my parents to let me go?Spottedleaf & FireheartCommunity AnswerDo what your mom tells you. If you finish studying, ask your parents again. If they say no a second time, accept what they say. Sure, you will be disappointed, but you will do better to listen to your parents rather than yourself.
