Will the (Old) People Like a Sticker ???? (Please Help)

I scored tickets to a Billy Talent concert this morning!!!! Yaho!!!! I was practically vibrating out of my seat in excitement for the rest of the class that I was already ignoring for the most part to get tickets. 

A friend got me into them in 2024 and they are a genuine favourite of mine. It's weird because I never really went through a hyperfixation with them, I just listened to them a lot, so I keep forgetting how much I love this band until it gets brought up somehow. 

But this brings me to my dilemma. This is my second Big Concert. Like not in a bar venue or basement Concert. And since I'm a recent fan and this is my first concert with them, I've not got a clue what the demographics and energy are gonna be like. I asked the friend I'm going with who's been to their concerts before and his first response was. Old. Mid 30s to 40s. Said he didn't know if the people would like a sticker. Alright cool. Out of my depth here. 

I also manged to ask a cool acquaintance I met at a Hayley Williams listening party who's turns out to also be going to the concert, and who's also got lawn tickets! Apparently shes been a fan since 03. Which. Man. That's older than me. She's very firmly a millennial, and she gave me a very enthusiastic yes about people liking being offered stickers- with the caveat that I might get a couple "party pooper" nos, which seems about fair. 

So that's a millennial yes and a gen Z maybe. Man. 

The reason I'm even considering making stickers is because the last Big Concert I went to, I was going with my best friend and he made stickers to give out. However the big difference here is that that concert was a Twenty One Pilots concert. Very different crowd. Much younger crowd. So many people on that lawn were giving out stuff I swear. The only info I've got out of this is that the venue probably won't care about me giving out some stickers if I do. 

The optimistic part of me says that a punk loves a sticker, but the other part of me is scared of being in a crowd of people on average at least 10 years older than me and going "do you want a sticker? ( O^O )". I'm gonna look like a child. Honestly this would probably be easier if I was a literal child. Being approached by an 8 year old with a sticker is cute at least. I'm an emo 19 year old. Who let me have adult money. 

I think the middle ground is to only make a handful. Maybe like 12, no more than 24. Only one or 2 designs too. I'll scout out my millennial acquaintance to give her one and a few if shes got friends with her. The rest will be for any people met along the way with good energy and a fleeting conversation, as it goes with concerts. Also to maybe like. Ask on the reddit about it. Pretty sure that's what my best friend did the last time. 

I am really excited about going but considering all this has me hoping that I'll be comfortable there. I've got relative faith because its a punk band with a solid fandom reputation, but I'm still a filipino woman-looking visibly-queer 19 year old. I know this crowd is gonna be older, and probably for the most part pretty white. Hell I'm going with my tallest and whitest friend. Incredibly envious that his 6'4" ass will have no problems standing on the lawn. Truth be told I wasn't super aware of how white the crowd was at the last Concert I went to because I was with the Only Other POC. But now I'm Thinking About It. 

I'm kind of hoping being in the lawn (the far back cheapest tickets) will mean I'll be more likely to find the younger and broker sort, the ones who are also likely to be artier and guaranteed to be more receptive to a sticker. One can only hope.  

Now I gotta think about what I'm even gonna put on these stickers. All this overthinking for something that's not even real yet.
