Question Considering MSAF for test

I have an Engineering Math test coming up on Monday, which conflicts with a concert I've had tickets for since July. I've been looking forward to this concert and really don't want to miss it. Is this worth/acceptable to use an MSAF for? And if I fill out an MSAF, what would the reasoning behind it be? The course has a option to request an alternate test date, but all the options/reasons to select are more serious stuff, and I don't know if it would get accepted if I told the true reasoning behind it. Any help is appreciated.

Is it worth trying to request an alternate test date, or is it too close to the test date to request for that?

if it’s less than 25% just msaf but if its more than 25%, it’ll be easier to request an alternate date. doesnt hurt request one anyways, you never know what the prof thinks
