First time seeing Beyoncé on tour, need advice and tips for first timer and going solo

So I've loved beyonce forever, and became more deep into the beyhive recently, but this will be my very first time seeing beyonce in concert, actually it’s my first concert ever... I can't wait for the CC tour and I’m getting tickets for the Chicago show (still debating if I should pick day 1 or 2, so any advice on that is appreciated). Luckily I was signed up and got the email for the Beyhive presale :)

My budget is around 1k more or less and I think really want a close-up experience in the Club Ho-down or maybe one of the pits (not sure if that price is realistic), but I’m a bit worried that it might be too much for me, especially as someone who’s never been to a live stadium show like that. I’m worried about feeling overwhelmed or not being able to see well.

On top of that, I’m new to the Chicago area and would be going by myself, so I’m also a little anxious about that too. I'm not gonna let the not wanting to go by myself stop me from seeing her. For those of you who have been to her concerts before, what are the vibes usually like? Are people usually friendly? Do you think the pits or Club Ho-down sections are manageable for someone’s very first concert? Or should I just aim for a seat with a good view and a bit more personal space?

Also, if anyone has advice about navigating the presale on Ticketmaster, I’d really appreciate it! I’ve never dealt with Ticketmaster before lmao, so I’m a bit nervous about the process too. Any pointers would be super helpful!
