when you are having an issue with glare from a light, turning up the iso and slowing down the shutter speed can help reduce it.

In Night Photography Blogs under "Dark Photography School" it explains how it is impossible to eliminate all lens flare from streetlights depending on how close you are to the light source and how much of it is in the composition.

I really didn’t find this website very interesting. The only part that I really liked was the pictures that were above the blogs.

A small aperture will focus light as it goes toward the sensor from the lens, and will cause the light ray to bounce around within the camera. This site teaches you how to avoid lens flair when your taking a photo.

This website was okay but it didn't seem to help me all that much. I did fin out that when taking photos of people instead take the picture when the person(s) leans closer to the other person and smiles at the camera, but wait a few seconds until they are relaxed and went back to what they were doing.

Under "Dark Photography School", I learned that in attempting to Create Surreal Images With Longer Exposure Times, "Once you begin to approach the one second range for exposure times, you will want to consider using a flash to add definition and a bit of clarity to otherwise blurry photos. If the composition involves people, this is even more important."

I found an article within this website in which the author believed that rain was not a fetter for a photographer, but rather an opportunity to seize. This is because only when it's raining does the environment become completely wet, and water can refract and reflect light. This leads to some very unique photos, such as when the pavement acts as a weak mirror for light sources. It of course works best during the night if you want to capture light.

I tried looking at the website, it looks very interesting but it wouldn't let me click on it.

To reduce the number of flares, try the following:
move the iso to 400 or higher
reduce the shutter speed/increase the aperture
compose the frame further away from the light source
use a large lens hood

Under ideal conditions you want a tripod, but in many instances there isn’t enough room to lug one around. A monopod is another option, but even that can be problematic in large crowds. Many venues/bands simply won’t allow flash photography as it’s distracting, especially with many of them going off. Your only option: handholding in what is normally very low light conditions.
Please note: not every concert is the same. All venues are slightly different, and all shows have different properties with regards to lighting, effects, etc. This article tries to make some generalizations, but obviously some of the advice presented here can be adjusted according to the situation. In many cases it’s an unknown with regard to what the club or venue will allow you to carry in, what the lighting will be, and how crowded it may be.
