Have you ever been to a concert?

Well, have you?

I'd love to go to see Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine, Disturbed and Slipknot one day but I'm pretty reluctant to spend money if I'm going to hate it. Whenever I see music videos of concerts, it always looks a little like a waste of money, cos most of the time, you're stuck in the rafters, or you're being pushed and pulled by people around you. Also, whenever I hear a band sing live, I find I really am disappointed.

What I'd love to know is am I wrong? Is going to a concert worth the money and hassle of getting there?

Also, can you please tell me what the average ticket price is wherever you are?

Only Christian Rock bands. But Delerious are in the top 10 bands in the UK when it comes to drawing audiences so...

Well, we see what Fenrir's hobby is

I have a Protest the Hero concert coming up, I'm so excited

I forgot to mention, I've been staff at a Christian gig too. You know the people that stand between the audience and the bands looking menacing? Yeah that was me minus the menacing! Was great fun but all you can here is the bass! Did get to meet the bands though!

I just screamed when I saw this list! Wow! I bet you've had some experiences....

I ALMOST went to Killswitch Engage and Lamb of God concerts in Vancouver this year, but realized I was too poor.

I did however did actually go to a Van Halen Concert @ GM Place

That's pretty much why I haven't gone to the one's I want to go to. It's a bitch because there's so many I wanna see but I can't afford tickets as well as the means to get there. No one ever comes to where I live!
