I have been there an hour before the event started and it has been open.
I'm sure it will vary to the start time of the event. I went to Doobie Brothers last week and the opening act started at 7:30, the doors where open at 6 when I got there. I would say 2hrs before an event but always best to give them a call if you need to know.
Just before the event starts
