If I have tickets how long before the show can I enter to dine and have a few brews

I have been there about 4 times we go about an hour before as far as sitting or standing I rather stand we have a better time you can see more

They sell tickets for a table for food otherwise you most likely will have to stand. Unless you arrive super early like more than 1 hour early. Then you may get a bar seat or one of the few boths near the bar.

Make sure the tables aren't reserved. We couldn't even sit down to eat or drink before, let alone during the show.😢

A good hour or so
