Experiences are better shared

How to enjoy a concert or any other event, even when you're there alone

Go. A ticket to a band you love is just as valid on your own — and the crowd around you is full of people who came for the same music, so the opening topic is settled before you even arrive. And if you'd like to share the atmosphere with someone, say so: in Timity, people nearby can see you're up for meeting someone, and whoever's there for the same music reaches out. Change that before they finish playing!

Solo at a gig isn't a last resort

None of your mates could make it, so nobody went — and a ticket to a band you love went to waste. Yet going solo has real advantages: you stand where you like, leave when you like, and take the music in fully, because you're not talking over it. Alone at a concert, you're not the odd one out; you're the person who came for the music.

The crowd is full of people like you

Statistically, there are dozens of others in there who came on their own. So the thing you've got in common is already sorted — it's playing right in front of you.

Turning the atmosphere into a shared experience

The best move is to let people know you're there. In Timity you share a few words ("here for X — beer between sets?") and a sign so people can pick you out of the crowd. Whoever nearby fancies it reaches out — and you needn't spend the second half of the gig on your own. No registration; only the people around you can see you, and only while you're sharing.

A small festival trick

Don't just chase the headliners. At the small stages people stand closer, talk more, and they're there to discover something new — just like you.
