Is my mom being fair?

I am 15 and I want to go to Warped Tour this year SO BAD!!! I’ve wanted to go to a concet for the past three years and I never can. My mom never will to take me to a concert. She always wants me to find a friend who is going and then ask them if I can go with them which I don’t think is fair at all because a lot of the music I listen to is stuff my friends don’t and I think feel that it is rude to just ask if you can tag slong. But, I do have a friend who will be going to Warped Tour this year and she’s willing to meet me there so we’ll hang out and stuff (she’ll have an adult with her), but my mom will still have to take me because my friend is already going to take someone else. She’s not gonna want to take me even though she gets to just drop me off and go home then pick me up. I don’t think that she is very fair because she doesn’t want to have to deal with anything concert related and would rather have me in the hands of someone else who probably doesn’t want to be there either. I’m basically asking three questions: Am I too young to go to Warped Tour, is my mom unfair to me and other parents, and should she let me go this year? Please answers. I’ve never wanted anything more than to go to this concert. And I do understand that Warped Tour is cazy than any other concert because it’s a tour with bands that appeal to alomst EVERYONE!!! But please answer. And sorry for this being so long.

I think you should be allowed to go and your mom should go with you. I personally have a daughter and I wouldnt let her go by herself until shes at least 16, BUT, under 16 the mom or another supervised parent should be there with you. I think she is totally being unfair to you cause its not like these events are an everyday thing and I think yall should go together, kinda like a bonding thing. My mom is the same way with my sisters and to me thats just being lazy. Why let life pass you by w/o having fun and making memories. Concerts/events, vactions, etc… those type of things people should be doing, so later they can look back on those memories. And if you have a friend there with another supervised adult and she still wont take you, I just think its down right dirty especially if she doesnt have a good excuse not to take you. Shes your mom and she needs to step up and meet people half way. I think its a selfish act and doesnt realize that other people have feelings and needs and wants too. I hope it works out for you.

As far as bing to young no, I dont think you are to young to go to warp tour. I went with a group a friends when I was 16, we drove 6 hrs to get their. Second as far as your mom being unfair, I think that depends on how far away the concert is. My advice let your mom know it is not a crazy concert at all. I mean yes there is a lot of people that go, yes their is drinking, and yes there is some mash pits. But basically it is a whole bunch of bands playing at the same time, and you go from band to band watching what you want to want. The one I went to was basically a commercial event. They had haircutting booths, clothing booths, food booths all kinds of things. It realy is not a CRAZY concert by no means at all. Try going to the others I have been to, Metalica, System of a Down, and Disturbed. Warped tour is nothing. There were younger kids there than you when I went
