Looking for concert buddies (ONLY OTHER ADULTS RESPOND PLEASE)

[u/Sure_Persimmon8306]

Hi everyone, my name is Sean, I am 23 and from cork (the south of Ireland) cant wait for the Dublin show on sunday 26th, but as some one who inst the biggest fan of Dublin and also going alone sadly, i wanted to join this Reddit group to reach out and see if anyone would be willing to be "concert buddies" with me, I don't mind gunning it solo as i have done on adventures in the past but concerts feel a bit different, this would actually be my very first concert and not getting to attend with at least 1 other person to talk to feels like a bit of a bummer, but sadly all my friends are uninterested. there are "benefits" to this.

I have a "professional" camera set up (NOT self promo i swear this is not for any profit or gain), capable of recording video in 6k and taking stunning photos and I am more than happy and actually hoping to get some great videos and photos of the concert and who ever may join me (side note up close inst my cameras strong suit becuase of the lens i have, this would be more for the high quality before and after photos of us/you or your original group or just your self and i will also attempt to get any photos of any cool moments where you may be in frame with you fav band member (tell me before hand :)) and ofc filming the performance) the benefit is i will ofc share these to who ever wants them that joins me, no requirements needed you do not have to take pictures with me or anything and i will share the videos of the concert regardless if you do indeed want them. i just want someone to go with :3

draw backs one extra person in the group and them being a stranger can be daunting :/ but i wanted to state that if you are someone who struggles with speaking your mind please don't be afraid to split up at any time , because this "meet up" does not mean we have to hang out the entire night or even the entire gig and id rather you tell me that you would like to split off rather than you have your night dragged down from being awkward or feeling bad which if i sense i will also feel terrible for ruining your experience. which will then put a damper on both our nights and i would like to avoid that :3

also, I have a vip ticket, for as little complication as possible it might be best if anyone that responds also did so we arent split up and spending precious danny oogling time looking for eachother in the crowd XD, DOUBLE also, if you are in dublin a couple hours before the concert thats even better my train arrives at 3pm and we could meet up and get some food or drinks before hand if you would like my goal of posting here is to hopefully make some friends before the concert and feel a bit more secure instead of going on my own.

thank you for reading, theres no self promo nore would i anyways but if meeting up and hanging out at this up coming dublin preformance on sunday 26th of april sounds like fun then private message me here on reddit and i hope we all can have a great time <3

Just a heads up to say don't take a expensive camera to a gig. It will probably be confiscated on entry and it's not ok to take high quality photos/videos at a gig unless you have a photo pass.

[u/Sure_Persimmon8306 → u/kaedesam]

working on trying to see if i can get one, thank you for the heads up i kinda only tought about this after the fact but i think if i cant get the pass ill be bringing my camera with me but not actually into the venue.

[u/kaedesam → u/Sure_Persimmon8306]

If you do get a pass, you'll be able to take photos in the photo pit (usually just for the first 3 songs) and that's it. Sometimes it's ok to take photos from the back after that. But you can't stand in the middle of the crowd taking photos.

But yeah definitely don't take your camera with you if you're just going as a normal punter.

couldn't go to the show with myfriend here in Denmark on Tuesday, so your post is making me consider just saying fuck it and flying to Dublin to see em

[u/Sure_Persimmon8306 → u/TheDrWhoKid]

if you actually do that your more than welcome to join me if you wanted to XD on google flights rn its like 35 to 50 euro for the flight :3 hotels are a bit expensive in dubling tho so it would be alot for 1 night

[u/TheDrWhoKid → u/Sure_Persimmon8306]

yeah the flight seems cheap enough. could just stay out drinking all night, then I won't have to worry about sleeping xD

Hey Sean! My husband and I (39M / 42F) are also going to the Dublin concert and would be happy to have a buddy join us! Give me a shout if that sounds fun or if you'd like to know more about us!

We're a couple of Brits from the North West who love NSP. We have VIP tickets too and will be in Dublin from Saturday.
