Have you ever been front row at a concert?

[monstertoronto 9,389]

Yas!!  I love being front row.  Im mostly just front row for Gaga because she’s usually the only one I’m willing to put the effort in for. I was front row for Fame Ball, ARTPOP Ball twice, and Joanne World Tour. We had front row seats on the floor for TCB which was good but not the same as being front row pit obvs. I also was front row for U2’s Joshua tree tour and Madonna’s Rebel Heart tour and she held my husbands hand! Also front row for Rina at her Dynasty tour.

Nope, unless it's a loose ish festival crowd, I saw flume at the front

if it's like a gaga or nicki crowd i stay mid way back because there's more space and you can get drinks and come back,

Same here. I've been to about 100 shows and I'd say I've been front row at 80+ of them (I promise I'm not rich lol a lot of these were in the early 2000s when ticket prices were much more manageable, and a lot of them were for smaller bands in smaller venues). Once you've been at the front, you really don't want anything else!! It's a magical experience and like the OP poster said, you feel such a strong connection with the artist/band. When I'm not at the front I can get distracted by others in front of me/around me, but when I'm at the front it is like tunnel vision with the performers.

I had front row for Britney’s Vegas show every time I went. Theater shows I’ve had front row for a few of them.

I was front row at the Born This Way Ball, when Gaga came to Puerto Rico, on the Halloween Night of 2012.

I had an amazing time, I spent most of the show in shock and awe because I had Gaga so close to me, at one moment, I would say her hand was 3 feet from me. And the energy she spent on the show, UNREAL.

Oh and the stage... INCREDIBLE!!! It kept moving and changing. Overall, an amazing experience.

Being front row made me feel like I was part of the show.

I haven't been to too many shows but I always aim for as close to the front as possible! Which usually depends on the people I'm with and how willing they are to wait with me   nothing beats front row!

I have been...

- Front row for BTW ball

- Third row for Paramore

- Second row for Evanescence

- Second row for Melanie Martinez

- 'Front row' for artRAVE except it was right in front of the Venus stage

- Front row in VIP section at Enigma

- And just a few weeks ago I was 6-7 from the front at Billie Eilish (if I were a couple closer I could've touched her   but it was still amazing being that close)

Years & Years and Olly Alexander hugged me + I spoke to his mic!!!
Second Row for BTW Ball
Some others in festivals such as: Janelle Monáe, Jamiroquai, and others i don't remember

I've been to 3 concerts:

- For Gaga, I wasn't front row of the golden circle area but I was front row of the general standing area. So I wasn't close to her but I was just behind the barrier, which is better than being surrounded by others, you have space for your arms and can dance more comfortably.

- For both Arcade Fire and The Pretty Reckless (saw this one yesterday!), I wasn't just behind the barricade, but just behind the people behind the barricade. So in the first case I could just fit between the two people, and in the second case, the people in front of me were so small that it was just as if there was nobody. So in both cases the view was just as good as being just behind the barricade, and it was amazing!

From these experiences I can say that being front row is really different and definitely better. You're so close to the artist for most of the concert, you can see them directly instead of watching a screen. They also make quick eye contact with you sometimes. And I got to touch Arcade Fire's members' hands! And it makes better photos/videos.

Gaga four times my 

[HausOfHarlow 379]

I've been fortunate and lucky enough to be front row for Gaga's 2011 Monster Ball, Madonna's MDNA Tour (actually won golden triangle pit tickets), Charli XCX 2014 Sucker Tour (opening night in Orlando, when the album was delayed so we didn't know most of the songs but it was still so much fun), Léon this past summer (truly still can't believe how amazing it was), Skylar Grey during her debut album tour from 2013.

I was front row for Chromatica ball  my first gaga concert too lol so I went all in with nosebleed tickets. Was in like for like 6 hours but it was fun the vibes were immaculate.

she was literally RIGHT in front of me meters away I still cannot believe it. Also between that and the pyrotechnics my eyebrows were gone.

 

 

 Fun fact we bought bottled water and the venue didn't allow us to keep the bottle caps

I will be when Rina reschedules her Atlanta date🤞🏼. I have gold VIP which is first entry and meet and greet. So I’m hoping to make it to the barricade. It will be my first time even in the “pit” at a concert so I’m super excited for the experience.

Aaaannnd it's canceled... I could have went to BLACKPINK... 

[Dojo 19,365]

lmao what is the point of attending a show then if not?
