***UPDATE TO THREAD***

So all the point below is now moot - I've got an extra ticket to tonight's show because of illness. If you want it send me a PM.



So, I'm going to the Iron Maiden show tonight, and for a couple of days I was having a hell of a time trying to find someone to look after the young puppets. It was such a hassle that for a very brief time I was considering taking them with us (it was about thirty seconds before I thought better of it). Both of my kids are between six and ten years old and I was mainly concerned about the volume more than anything, but all the other side-shows of a big arena metal show were factors. At the same time I was also curious about how my artistically-minded kids would interpret such a theatrical show - one kids draws constantly and is really influenced by what she sees (tell me you're not intrigued by a kid's drawings of a ten-foot Eddie).

I know that lots of younger kids end up at things like Folk Fest and similar-type concerts. What I'm wondering is what you all think about concerts at arena-type venues. Anyone seen smaller kids at these kind of shows? How old you all were for your first rock concerts and such. Anyone?
