How early should you get to a concert for general admission?
Arrive at least 1-2 hours early for any general admission event. If you’re not stoked on the front row, it’s still recommended that you show up at least 1-2 hours early in order to find a decent spot on the floor. Otherwise, you’ll risk getting stuck in the back where you’re unable to see the action onstage.
How many hours before a concert should you get there?
Probably 1-2 hours would be a safe bet. A little before doors if you want to be towards the front of the line, but in my experience, a lot of people don’t show up until just before the main act, so as long as you’re there at doors, you can usually get a good spot.
Can you leave a concert early?
If you leave the venue, you won’t be able to get back in, full stop. Many events and venues will clearly state that once you leave you cannot get back into the venue, so it is important to plan out your night properly in advance of arriving.
