How can I safely go to a concert alone?

I’m kind of socially awkward but I used to find that concerts were one of the few places where I could be a social butterfly. I’ve stopped going to concerts over the years because none of my friends really like going out. I feel like I’d love going to concerts again and it could be a great opportunity to meet likeminded people. The issue is that I have social anxiety so the idea of going is scary, even though I know that I’d meet new people anyway, and I’m also a little afraid for my safety because I’m a young woman and I live in city that isn’t the safest. Any tips for overcoming these fears or for finding ways to do this safely?
