Are you going to a specific tour like “This Life” or “Odyssey”? Some tours have different rules. For example, the “Odyssey” tour had a huge production, so they started exactly on time. Latecomers got a view of a giant robot head from behind. You don’t want that.
Also, check if there are two shows on the same day. Sometimes a matinee and an evening show happen. The matinee starts earlier, obviously. Like, 2 PM. But who goes to a matinee? Parents who want to be home by 5 PM. Respect.
And here’s a hot take: what if you’re not a huge fan of the support act? That’s fine. Arrive at 8:30 PM instead of 7:00 PM. You’ll miss Mark’s washing machine masterpiece. You’ll also miss the entire queue for the bar. Win some, lose some.

The Social Media Hack
Don’t trust the venue’s Facebook event page. That’s where people argue about parking. Instead, look for a fan account on Instagram or X. They’re obsessed. They’ll post the exact stage times from the arena’s security. I’m not kidding. They are a resource.
Or, you know, just ask a friend who went the night before. They’ll text you: “OMG, they came on at 8:52 and played for an hour and 50 minutes.” Perfect. You now have a blueprint.
