Find Someone to Go to a Concert With in Los Angeles

Got the ticket. Need the +1? Post the show you're going to, or find people heading to the same night — the Greek, the Fonda, the Bowl, a warehouse set in the Arts District.

The spare-ticket problem

Nobody should eat a ticket because a friend flaked

Taste is specific. Availability is worse. The two rarely overlap inside one group chat.

You bought two tickets in a presale eight months ago and the person you bought them for has since moved, started a new job, or simply doesn't like the artist as much as you do. Everyone in LA who goes to shows has had this week.

Party Intel turns that into a post: the artist, the venue, the date, the seat you have spare. The people who ask to join are the ones who actually wanted to be at that show — which usually makes for a better night than dragging along a friend who's indifferent.

Live on Party Intel

Upcoming concert plans

Live music plans on the Find People board — shows, DJ sets and festival meetups around Los Angeles.

No show plans up at this moment. Post the artist, venue and date you're going to — concert posts tend to fill fastest in the week before the show.

Ways people use it

Four kinds of concert plan

Find someone attending the same event

You both already have tickets and just want company for the drive, the line and the set break. The lowest-risk version — nothing rides on a ticket handoff.

Offer the spare seat

State face value, whether you want reimbursement, and where you'll meet. Never hand a ticket over before meeting in person.

Post the show you're going to

Artist, venue, date, and whether you're going with people already. Specific posts get better requests than 'anyone into live music?'.

Meet people with similar taste

Shared music taste is a real filter. Someone who drove to Pomona for the same opener is starting a friendship from a strong position.

Festival carpools

Passes, parking and a two-hour drive split between people. These get posted weeks ahead rather than same-day.

After the show

Post-set plans — a bar nearby, a late dinner, an afterparty on the Party Intel map — often start on the same thread.

How Party Intel works

Ticket to meetup in three steps

Step 01

Pick an activity

Choose concerts and post the specific show, or scan what's already planned around LA.

Step 02

Find people

Review who asks to join, check the verified selfie, and approve the person you'd want next to you all night.

Step 03

Make the plan

Agree a meeting point outside the venue and a time, then go see the show.

Safety

Verification and ticket sense

Every join request carries a live selfie taken in the app, reviewed by whoever posted the plan. That's the identity half.

The ticket half is on you: meet outside the venue in a lit, busy spot, transfer tickets through the official app where possible, and don't send a ticket or accept payment before you've met. Party Intel doesn't broker ticket sales.

Concert buddies in LA — questions people ask

How do I find someone to go to a concert with in LA?
Post the show — artist, venue, date — on the Party Intel Find People board and say whether you have a spare ticket or are buying separately. People searching that artist or that venue see the post and ask to join. It works far better than asking a group chat that doesn't share your taste.
I have a spare ticket. Can I find someone to take it?
Yes, and it's one of the most common posts here. State the face value and whether you want to be paid back, so expectations are clear before anyone drives to the venue. Party Intel doesn't process ticket payments — you settle that between yourselves.
Can I find people already going to the same show?
Often, especially for bigger nights at the Greek, the Forum, the Bowl or Crypto. Plenty of plans are groups already holding tickets who want more people to meet up with beforehand rather than a stranger sitting in their row.
What about DJ sets and festivals rather than concerts?
Same board. Warehouse sets, club residencies and festival carpools all get posted, and festival plans usually appear weeks ahead because people are coordinating travel and passes.
What if the plan falls through at the last minute?
It happens — plans on Party Intel are informal by design. Keep the conversation open until the day, agree a meeting point outside the venue rather than inside, and don't hand over a ticket before you meet.
How does verification work before a show?
Requests to join carry a live selfie taken in the app, and the person who posted approves or declines each one. You know what your plus-one looks like before you're standing in a will-call line.

Got the ticket. Now find the +1.

Post your show or join someone else's, and stop skipping nights you already paid for.
