How early do I need to be there in time to get a seat for concert that starts at 8:00. Thanks

I say at least an hour depending on the show. Plus it gives you more time to drink!

So if you go to the bar/grill and spend like 15 bucks, they form a liner inside and let you in "early".... food & beverages were good.

When doors open is generally posted on website. I try to get there at that time. Usually an hour before the show.

Depends on the show. But a seat is at least before doors open. Most shows only have seating in the balcony.

Depending upon how close I need to be, I tend to get there an hour early. If I'm okay with being farther back, I head up 30 min before the show.

At least 30 minutes before
