Going to your first concert is probably one of the most exciting days of your life. But like everything else, not everything always goes as picture perfect as you had imagined. Here are some tips to help prepare your self for what could be your best-- or worst-- day ever.

1. TAKE THE NEXT DAY OFF OF WORK.

Seriously you're not getting home until 3 am

2. Tailgating is real.

Bring a lawn chair, don't forget the speaker, food, and drinks. Seriously don't be afraid to bring a grill or ez up, everybody does it. I mean EVERYBODY.

3. There are no bathrooms.

It's all porta potties. Good luck.

4. Lawn seats are literally terrible.

Don't let anyone tell you different. Pay the extra $50 for real seats, or try to move up once you get there.

5. Don't drink too much before the concert, you'll end up in line for the bathroom for half the concert.

6. Learn all the songs of the artist before you go.

It's way more fun if you can sing along.

7. Before you go look up who the opening acts are, that way you're not whining waiting for the main act and you can enjoy the whole concert.

8. Bring someone who is 21+ with you.

For obvious reasons.

9. Country Concerts are way more fun than any other concert.

10. Despite all that, you'll have the best time of your life.

I'm talking addiction, like you'll probably spend the next 3 hours after the concert looking up tickets to your next concert.
