I'm not trying to one-up my sister or anything, and I know that One Direction aren't going to be her favorite group forever, but...when I was younger, I wanted to see The Spice Girls and Hanson in concert. My mom told me that I'd be glad I didn't go to see them, that I'd be embarrassed when I got older, but that wasn't the case. I still kind of regret not having the opportunity, because I know that they were so cool to me when I was a kid.
Those ****ing tickets are ridiculously expensive. I was thinking about buying her decent seats for the show in either Louisville or Columbus, just so she'd have the experience instead of never getting to see the group. But I really want to go to Los Angeles this year.
Should I give my little sister this awesome experience of getting to see her favorite group, which she could look on with nostalgia for years to come, or should I keep saving for LA, so I can scope it out for a potential move to the city in the next five years?

If you really want to give them to her I say do it.
When I was a kid of that age I was really into Adam & The Ants, they played one gig here and I really wanted to go but my mother couldn't afford the tickets and wasn't keen on me going to a gig at that age anyway, so I missed out and no matter what my taste in music it always disappointed me I never got to go.
Anyway fast forward 30 years and he's playing here again and this time my mother buys tickets for myself, her & my sister to go.
I don't see One Direction touring the U.S. in 30 years time, so I say do it now.
I don't think you ever really forget your first favourite band.
I would say if you're planning on moving away give her something special before you go. If you're not planning on moving there for another 5 years you can always hold off the trip for next year.
