Okay, here’s my insider trick. Go to the venue’s official website. Not the ticket seller, the venue itself. Look for the “show schedule” or “performance times.”
If you can’t find that, call the box office. I know, I know—talking to a human is terrifying. But they know. They always know. They will tell you exactly when “The Rodfather” will appear.
Alternatively, check the artist’s social media. Rod’s team is great at posting time updates. They know we’re all anxious about missing that first “Maggie May” guitar chord. It’s a sacred moment.
What About Curfews?
Here’s a secret weapon: local noise ordinances. Most venues have a strict curfew. Usually that’s 11:00 PM in a city or 10:00 PM in a residential area.
If Rod has to be done by 11:00 PM, and he plays for two hours (he usually does, the legend), then you do the math. 11:00 minus two hours equals 9:00 PM on the nose.
So if the show is in a place with grumpy neighbors, he’s on early. If it’s at a warehouse club with no curfew? He might saunter on at 9:30 PM. He’s earned the right to saunter.
