Find a Concert Buddy in Philadelphia

You have the ticket. Nobody to go with. That is a solvable problem, and it should not mean skipping the show.

Philadelphia has live music most nights of the week - Union Transfer, Johnny Brenda's, The Fillmore, Franklin Music Hall - and going alone puts a lot of people off entirely. Frienda connects you with someone nearby who actually wants to go, so the ticket gets used and the night is better for it.

How it works

Set up a free profile - what you are up for, and where in Philadelphia you are.
Look through people nearby and read their profiles properly.
Message someone whose plan and pace suit yours, and agree the details before you meet.

Staying safe

Meet somewhere public the first time, tell someone where you are going, and keep it short. Profiles are verified, and when a conversation starts turning into a real meetup, Friend-A prompts you to set up One Tap Alert - a free app that sends your location to your own trusted contacts at one tap. It notifies the people you choose, not the emergency services; call your local emergency number directly if you are ever in danger.

Friend-A is strictly platonic. Not dating, not adult services. Accounts that treat it otherwise are removed.

Questions

Is this a date?

No. Frienda is strictly platonic. Companions are there for the company, nothing else, and the rules are enforced.

Who pays for the ticket?

You agree that between you before you meet. Many people buy both tickets; some split. The companion's rate is separate and they set it themselves.

What if we do not get on?

You message before you meet, so you can tell early. Meet in public, keep the first one short, and you are not obliged to book again.
