A bit before 6:30. Folks begin to line-up around 6pm. Thanks!
Earlier the better
Unless you want front row of the hillside you dont need to be more than half hour early unless you want a large group together. Hill side seats are sloped and people are usually only 3 or 4 rows deep on the hillside so they are all great seats. If you are picky, show up early and bring a picnic basket. Enjoy!
If you get there when the gates open, you'll have a better chance of getting the location you desire.
I would get there at 5:45pm. I believe the doors open at 6:30pm, and people really start lining up at 6:00pm.
