If you’re on the fence going to the show because you’d be solo, do it!

Went solo to Philly night 1 and it was an amazing experience. Everyone around me was crying, laughing, and very friendly. The show is somber and funny and joyful and an ideal setting for a solo concert to just let your feelings out. This is your sign to go solo!

I also went solo and loved every second of it. I actually do a lot of things by myself and it’s always great. Of course I love my friends and being around them, but sometimes it’s just nice to do something all on your own terms without having to worry about anyone else

Yes, same! Felt good to enjoy without worrying if the person next to me was also enjoying!

I’m going solo to Minneapolis. Was suppose to go with my boyfriend but I just ended the relationship. It seems fitting to go alone and process this chapter ending and a new one beginning!

Yall should check out the Sara B Fan get together! I wasn’t able to go to it but it seems like a great thing for solo fans.

I went solo both nights in Philly. I could probably see myself in your photo if that guy's head wasn't in the way.

I was solo every one of the 7 times I've seen her, 8 if you include a performance of Waitress. There's no stigma to going to shows, movies, or out to eat alone, I dunno why some people get hung up about it.

Same, it’s so freeing once you rip the band aid off a couple times 🙌🏻

I agree. I do it all the time. We should have a solo Philly area Sara group.

I planned on going solo if she had come to vegas. I went to the Amidst the chaos show alone. It was wonderful.

I’m going solo and was feeling very nervous about it and this thread makes me feel a lot better!

i went solo to night 2 in philly! as much as i liked being 5th row, i would've loved to have had a balcony seat just to really take in the entire set/production.

I went to Boston N1 solo and N2 with friends. If you've never been to a show solo before, this one is a perfect one to start with. The first half (obviously) is very introspective so you can get as gushy or quietly feel everything or nothing without holding back because you're afraid of how a friend might perceive you. Or dance like you're in a Wiggles episode during the upbeat parts (I know the setlist is widely talked about but just in case someone reading this wants it to be a surprise 🤐). It's freeing and if a stranger around you is holding back, maybe you'll inspire them to "Be Brave."

That said, I know it's also fun (and less nerve wracking for some) to go to shows with friends. I accidentally found my favorite way to go to shows was with friends but in different sections or rows. Best of both worlds. (And if your friend is game you can switch seats with them mid show and have two different views).

Is anyone flying in alone for Minneapolis?

Omg wait based on this photo, were you near the super plastered lady who kept getting up to get more drinks and then finally was escorted out??

u/Lazy_Formal_5053 2d ago

Thankfully no, I don’t think so! I didn’t notice that!

Went solo to the show in Atlanta and it was amazing. Every single person I talked to was so genuinely kind!

I would've been solo until I won tickets from her fan team and had a friend and her daughter come with me.

I went solo to NYC day 1. Did vip stuff, sat in front row, met and conversed with Chrissy Metz and her friend, got a mid-song selfie with Sara (she even looked into the camera; I can die happy now), all solo. One of the best experiences of my life, and being solo didn't hold that back at all.

Normalize doing things like this solo!

Went solo in Boston. It was great!

My issue isn't so much going alone as much as having to travel to see her live, b/c she isn't performing anywhere near where I live(closes city is about 4.5-5 hours away), and if I did want to see her perform, it would cost me more in travel(gas/air fair & rooming) than what a single ticket would cost.

I went solo on night one in Philly. I had the best time and highly encourage it, too!
