| What age would you let your teen attend a concert at the Verizon Center with similar-aged friends, but without an adult chaperone? |

| Since my kids are tiny and likely to get trampled, not anytime soon! |

| 15 would be the earliest I would even consider it. Probably would feel more comfortable with 17. |

| I went to concerts at the Cap Center starting at 12-13. |

| You really have to judge by maturity more than age. For my daughter maybe 15 or 16-unless she becomes suddenly impulsive. For my son-18. He has some special needs. He is a good kid, but impulsive, immature and naive. |

| 9th grade as long as they go with at least one other person. |

| I let DD go to smaller clubs starting in seventh grade. She's bizzarely well behaved though and I dropped off and picked up. |

Yep, this. We started allowing DD to go to concerts at 14/15 which was when all of her friends started being allowed to go as well. |

| I agree with freshman year and with a parent doing drop off and pick up. Would be open to it in 8th grade too depending on circumstances. |

| I started this year at 13. She's been to several and all went well. You just have to know your kid. |

| Wow. My dd is 14 and very mature but I'd never consider doing this right now... probably 18 (?) |

When your daughter is 18, it's not going to be a question of allowing her anymore. I was 15 the first time I went to a show with friends but no parents. We were high school sophomores. I don't remember anybody's parents being worried about it, but maybe they were and I just didn't know. |
