8 yr old at Bon jovi concert

[Dolanette]

What are your thoughts on bringing a 8 yr girl to Bon Jovi concert, she was at Glee concert (more kid oriented) when she was 6 and enjoyed it. Have u brought your child to a similar concert venue?

[HeySoulSister]

is it seated?

[HairyGrotter]

I wouldn't subject my child to such shit

[500internalerror]

I would, if the child actually likes whoever they are going to see!!

[TidyDancer]

Absolutely fine. But take ear defenders for her.

Have taken both my DCs to a Bon Jovi gig before and have always seen younger children than them there. The youngest I saw there this year was a breastfed 4-ish month old baby. :)

The worst language you will hear on stage is the odd "shit". JBJ is not really a swearer.

Go for it and have fun. :)

I went to a bon jovi concert 2 years ago, I should think an 8 year old would be fine so l

[JellyMould]

Sent too soon - as long as its seated.

[Leeds2]

And make sure she knows/likes the songs!

[GobblersKnob]

The last time I went to see them nine? years ago there were loads of children and much younger than eight.

As long as you don't take her moshing at the front she will be fine, standing or seated. If you are standing though it is useful if you or someone else can her her on your shoulders most of the time, or it's not much of a view

[TidyDancer]

The seating issue wouldn't concern me at all. It's usually better to be able to walk around with young DCs at events like that.

Took my DD to her first festival at 4. She's a proper music and gig goer now. She went to he first unaccompanied festival at 16, which made me nervous, but very proud. Nothing like live music to make the soul alive! I never went to my first gig until I was 30, regretting it big style now!

[ninah]

take her to a proper gig!
still, each to their own, I had a child in R that was obsessed with jbj

[LittleMissGerardButlerfan]

I would take them,you hear worse language on the street these days anyway!

[TidyDancer]

Ignore the anti-Bon Jovi brigade.

You will have a great time. :)

[ninah]

she will really need those ear defenders

[BreconBeBuggered]

It's fine, but make sure there are no restrictions on children standing if you don't want seats.

[SaucyJack]

Go for it. They're hardly Cradle of Filth.

[EntWife]

we took DSD to see Bon Jovi when she was 6. She loved it.

We took ear defenders but she kept taking them off to hear the music better.

[Chocotrekkie]

My 7 and 9 yr olds loved it - but yes to ear defenders...

[StuntGirl]

Saucy

Take her, just ensure she wears some kind of ear plugs/ear defenders.

[orangepudding]

I would bit I did take a 3, 7 and 10 year old to a festival to see Metallica and Slipknot so am probably not the best judge!

[theodorakisses]

Yes of course, as long as they want to (was hippy parented kid who was dragged to all sorts of stuff against her will) but yes, yes, yes and am v v v jell.

[theodorakisses]

Orange pudding, you are ACE!

[malovitt]

A lot of venues have a policy of no under 14s /16s standing?

[TidyDancer]

I'm thinking of outdoor gigs tbh wrt the seating issue. If its an indoor gig like at the O2 for eg, then seated would be better. If you're outdoors with basically one stand of seating, I would much rather be able to wander around with the DCs.
