The gang is so excited when they get coveted tickets to the Binky concert. Arthur is in for the chance of a lifetime, but will he realize that not sharing the excitement with his friends will make for a hollow experience?

Plot

Arthur and his friends got tickets to a BINKY concert. Arthur got the worst seat while his friends have the best seats. They daydream about meeting BINKY, but Arthur worries that he'll never meet BINKY. At home, David informs Arthur that he'll meet BINKY up close. Arthur gets excited, but starts worrying again that he and his friends will never meet BINKY. At the concert, Arthur helps his dad with the food. Then Arthur informs his friends about his dad backstage. Then, it was time to meet BINKY. They then discover they're just holograms. Back at their seats, Arthur states that he'd rather have real friends, ending the episode.
