I just spent a lot of money on concert tickets...

...despite the fact that I will be unable to work for at least the next 4-6 weeks due to a recovery from surgery.
Do I have a problem?
Please tell me my decision was not an irresponsible one reflective of immaturity and poor fiscal responsibility. I'm just living life, right?
I bought tickets for:
-Sleep @ White Oak Music Hall Houston, TX
-A Perfect Circle @ Smart Financial Performing Arts Center Sugar Land, TX
-Mastodon, Eagles of Death Metal, and Russian Circles @ Austin City Limits Live Austin, TX
-Opeth, Gojira, and Devin Townsend @ War Memorial Auditorium Nashville, TX
However, I did restrain myself from buying Gov't Mule tickets. I figure that they come to Louisiana once a year so I can miss out on them this year.
P.S. frick TICKETMASTER AND THEIR GODDAMN $35 IN ADDITIONAL FEES.

War Memorial is an awesome venue. Saw Modest Mouse there last year and had a blast.

Few things are worse than looking back on your life and regretting that you didn't do something that was easily accomplished. So no. Go to all the shows you can while you can.

I am not sure I agree with this. I have a rule under $25, I always go assuming its not on a tuesday or something like that. $25-50 - i have to really like them. Over $50 - I have to love them.
in 2016, I probably did 20 <$25 shows. 10 <$50 shows and 3 over $50 shows (Tool, Tame Impala, M83).
The only shows I regret not going to that I didn't go to due to price were tool and radiohead at RR. The rest I don't really regret missing them.

Apparently it's a fairly new venue because I couldn't find any pictures of the interior.
It kind of sucks that it's completely on the other side of the Houston Metro, but at least it's two hours closer than the show at Grand Prairie.

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked about finally getting a chance to visit Nashville and the opportunity to check out the music scene.

That's pretty much how I've managed to rationalize these decisions.
There were so many shows I missed out on from 18-24 because I was reluctant to go by myself or drive more than an hour to watch a performance.
But, the fact is that I'm unmarried, I have no kids, I'm not in debt, and I just so happen to have enough free time this spring to make some of these trips I normally would have to turn down.
I figured, what the hell, you only live once.

Can I live while I'm young?

My ticketbastard password reflects this sentiment very well. I'm surprised they let me use it.

It is. Tonight is the first night to open and Jerry Seinfeld is doing two shows. Tomorrow is Don Henley. They already have like Sting, Dave Matthews in the next couple of months. I just haven't seen anything on a perfect circle.

No, it's about SW of it and in a new developing area of Sugar Land. Let Tiger Ryno know when you get there, he'll have a beer and cigar with you. Sucks would be if it was in Katy.

I dont think 4 shows would constitute a problem IMO..

I saw him with High on Fire in Houston last October. He didn't really get a chance to demonstrate his full talents, but he definitely has a presence to him.

Yeah man if I could talk to the 18 year old you I would say not to EVER be reluctant to go to a show by yourself. I've done it many times and would've missed some fantastic ones if I hadn't.

Hell yeah. Go for the gusto man. Getting married and having children will definitely cut down on the number of shows you can attend and I'm speaking from experience. Now that my daughter is away in college and my son is a sophomore in HS I'm finding my way back to catching more and more shows again. I'm just happy I still love it so much. Oh and it also doesn't hurt that I travel for work now for months at a time sometimes and catch shows on the road too.
As long as I'm able-bodied I'll be catching shows into my 70's if possible. That's the plan at least.

I saw so many shows in those years... As I got a little older, I didnt go as often.. due to a little more been there/done that syndrome...
I will say now that I'm in Chicago, my show going has greatly picked back up... it helps when everyone comes here and there are quite a few great venues I can walk to.. There are more shows I can't go to that I want to, due to responsibilities, than ones I actually get to these days...

No kidding man. I was in Atlanta last January and February and saw six great shows in just that two month stretch.

Last night, I spent $800 on my company expense account to take 3 30 somethings Project Manager clients to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I would never do that if it were my money.
Also plan on expensing 6-10 tickets to Chicago/Doobie Bros/ The Band in June. Much cheaper tickets and I love all three of those bands. Will take some older VPs or Division Managers and their spouses to that. I can easily do that for a grand or less.
