For me, it does suck; I've been to plenty of FM/SN shows and have had to practically beg each time to get someone to go with me. When I was younger it was my parents (I couldn't drive) and later it was my sister or friends. I usually end up paying for their ticket because they're not willing to fork out the cash for decent seats.
And then I usually feel dumb for jumping up/dancing/screaming/etc because the person I'm with is acting like they're in a movie theatre!
But whatever.
