Answer 1

get those little binoculars

or

you can bring ur broken glasses and hold the lenses up so u can see through them

Answer 2

Try heat shrink tubing if you're slightly crafty.  Tape can work if you just need them to stay together for a little while.  I'd have to see it but most can be taped just don't ruin anything in the process.  Definitely get a cheapo backup pair of glasses because this does happen occasionally & you don't want to go without glasses if  you need 'em.  I'm in the biz & I see it all the time.  Good way to go about a backup pair is to replace the once you got BEFORE they become totally busted & useless so you'll have something.  They should've told you it could be longer but sometimes sh#$ happens.  If it doesn't look like tapes going to work send me a pic & i'll see if i got any ideas.

Answer 3

a cheap brand of opera glasses will look classier than taped glasses and should be under $15.00! they will be useful for future events also.

Answer 4

Answer 5

use twistie ties and electrical tape

be creative.

Answer 6

There are wholesale glasses places that will take your lenses and put them into a frame that they will fit into as a temporary fix. Call around and find out. If you don't have anywhere like that where you live...National Optical Warehouse, places like that. You can call a Wal-Mart, or try other optical places to see if they can fit your existing lenses in a cheap frame or if they know of some place that could.

Best Wishes and Good Luck at your concert.
