Your favourite artist, nobody else’s favourite
You finally find tickets for that band you love, but your usual gig mates aren’t interested. Start with the artist, venue and date. A specific plan gives other music fans something real to respond to.

How to find someone to go to a concert with
Love live music, but your friends don’t share your taste — or they’re all busy? You don’t have to miss the gig.
There’s something special about seeing your favourite artist live. But finding someone who’s excited about the same band, venue or festival can be harder than getting tickets.
Start with the gig, not the guest list
Pick the artist, date and venue you actually want to attend. When you lead with a specific plan, people can quickly tell whether they're interested. If tickets aren't booked yet, make that clear.
Where to look for a gig companion
- Music communities: Fan groups and venue communities sometimes help you meet people with similar tastes. Respect each group's rules.
- Shared-interest activities: A music-focused social group can be an easier way to connect than a general “make friends” post.
- WivMe: Suggest a live-music plan or explore plans from others who want company. See how WivMe works for gigs.
Make the first meet-up comfortable
Chat first, decide on a clear public meeting point, keep control of your own ticket and travel, and let someone know where you're going. You can always choose a smaller local show as a first outing.
What if nobody is free?
Don't let the plan disappear. You can try a different event, make a new plan, or go solo. You can enjoy live music on your own, too — company is a choice, not a requirement.
Want company for your next plan?
WivMe helps adults find people interested in the same kinds of activities. You can suggest a plan or explore what others have posted, subject to local availability.

Visiting a city for a concert
Going to a show away from home? Look for someone who’s interested in the same event, keep your own tickets and travel arrangements, and agree a public meeting point only when you both feel comfortable.
An unexpected spare ticket
If you have a spare ticket, explain what it covers and what it doesn’t. Be clear about the price, how tickets will be transferred, and whether you want company before or just during the gig.
