Parent advice please?

There's a concert in December and I can't actually describe how much I want to go. I would quite literally kill someone to go to this concert.

It's on a Wednesday night and it's in Manchester, which is about an hour, maybe less, away from where I live.

My dad is pretty strict when it comes to concerts on school nights and I've asked and he's said no. And when my dad says no, I normally shut up and never ask again, but I really don't want to give up on this one. His girlfriend is completely against me going too, so my chances of going are looking nonexistent.

I know this sounds over the top, but it's really going to break my heart if I can't go. They're my favourite band I've already missed one chance to go and see them last year. And now, I finally have the chance to go because my best friend got tickets, and I'm not allowed to go.

I don't want to argue with my dad because I'm not a brat, but I desperately NEED to go to this concert.

Advice, anyone?
