Before anything, I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Jose, I'm 20 years old, I've been a fan of Iron Maiden since 2005. I live in the Mexico/U.S. border. I've only seen Iron Maiden once, which was this year, June, at San Antonio (Which I will post about my experience later).
Anyhow, according to the tourdates for next year, Maiden will be playing all over the world and two shows in the U.S. (Florida). Now this is where my dilemma begins.
I still live with my parents, I do not have a job at the moment but I should be getting one soon. The closest place to where I live where Maiden is playing would be Monterrey Mexico. Now, this wouldn't have been a problem ten years ago but Mexico, mostly the northern part of it is RIDICULOUSLY dangerous (The cartels are mugging, kidnapping, extorting, and murdering innocent civilians) and Monterrey is also part of the cartel territory. I could go to Florida to see them, but I would have to spent much more money (Hotels, plane tickets, cabs, plus I would want to see them at the front so I would have to join the fan club) or I could go to Monterrey, and risk my life in the name of saving money as seeing that I don't have to be part of the fan club to get front tickets (I think) plus I have family there so I have a place to stay. Since I live with my parents they would never allow me to go to Mexico just for a concert. What should I do? Lie to them and tell them that I'm going to San Antonio again but go to Mexico instead? Or be honest with them and join the fan club, travel all the way to Florida spend a ton of money and most likely not get front/floor tickets.
Advice would be greatly appreciated.
