How do you meet people at a gig?

Posted by AnonymousBanana7@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 3 comments

Feel embarrassed to ask this tbh but I'm autistic and I've never known how to approach people. I'm going to a gig on Friday, it'll be my first time going on my own and it would be nice to meet people instead of standing round like a banana before it starts, but how? I know lots of people go to gigs solo and just start chatting with people but I don't know how to do that without coming off as weird.

The smoking area is always a great place to meet new people. Otherwise just say "cool tshirt" if you spot someone wearing a band you like.

However, the smoking area does come with the risk of picking up an expensive habit that can take years off one's life.
