Thanks, I really needed that. I just bought myself a ticket after hesitating for weeks now. I have friends who would go with me but one of them moved to a different country last year and the other one has exams around that time so she's going to be at uni still.

[@verloren918]

Yes! And especially for a show like this where so many of us are awkward introverts. When I was looking at tickets, there were clearly SEVERAL people who were flying solo besides myself. You definitely won't be the only person going alone. Just enjoy it!
