Definitely depends on the night and your ticket!
Depends on your ticket. If it GA get there when doors open. If you have assigned seating 15 to 20 minutes before show starts. Plenty of places to check out before show.
Shows typically run like this. Check with individual event page or website for specific times to your event. Lobby doors (for ticket pickup, bar and merch) - 6pm Theater doors (for seating) - 7pm Support act - 8pm Headline act - 9pm
Ot would seem that if these are concerns, i might suggest arriving as early as it would necesisitate for you to feel like you did the right thing. In other words, get there when you get there. Enjoy yourself, and be present.
I've gotten there as doors opened and didn't have any problems. Lots of restaurants in the area, always late arriving crowd
