Should I Ask Him...?

So, there's this really cute guy in one of my classes. Today, as an early birthday present, my best friends got me tickets to a concert next week and I need a partner to go with. I'd like to ask this guy if he wants to go (that is, assuming he likes rock music), but I know it's probably too forward, especially this close to the concert date. Still, I'd at least like to try and swallow my humiliation the rest of the semester if he says no. Should I do it?
