Keep it simple -- jeans and a black T-shirt or tank top. If you own cargo pants, they are very useful for not having to wrangle a purse. Wearing Converse or Vans (or other canvas slip-ons) instead of your more gym-appropriate sneakers would also help. If you have Doc Martens or other stompy boots, even better. Do not wear sophisticated grownup jewelry. Do not wear pastel anything. I would say "get a studded belt" but the trouble there is that some venues won't let you wear them, so skip it. Got a band T-shirt? That's good too. If you need an outer layer, a hoodie is a much better choice than a windbreaker or other yuppie-looking jacket.
Basically, everything I've been saying about Not Dressing Like A Grownup? Like that. Although not clubwear. That would be Trying Too Hard. We laugh at the young girls who wear clubwear to shows... it's more important to dress defensively for weather and crowd conditions than to show off your butt in a short skirt, chickie!
Besides. You have actual seats. Nobody's going to be cranky at you for taking a spot on the barricade.
