Expectations for Vegas shows

[Spirit]

doors 8pm, ticket says 930.....AIC 940ish.....GNR 1130 I'm calling

If the ticket says 9:30 and the doors open at 8:00, isn't that a long time to wait for the opening act to start after they've started letting people in? I'm assuming then the 9:30 time is the start of the opening act.

I know this can differ from venue to venue.

I thought they let you in an 60-90 before showtime.  And the time printed on the ticket is when the opening band starts.  No?

So, doors at 8...AIC at 9:30...GNR 11(ish).  That would be my guess.

Our tickets for the summer list 8:30.  So I'm hoping that means the opener at 8:30 and GNR at 10(ish).

Yeah, if the opening band is scheduled to start at 9:30, my 10 o'clock prediction for GN'R is obviously out the window.

Yeah, and I jumped on that too.  Whoops.

Opener usually gets, what, about 45 minutes?  Have to think they give AIC an hour though.

[Bodhi]

Yeah doors opening 60-90 minutes before the opening act is not strange, especially when there is only one band opening.  If there were a smaller band opening before AIC then they would probably start around 8:45.  9:30 start for AIC sounds about right, I wouldnt expect GNR before 11, I'm guessing it will be around midnight.

Pretty much.

And everyone will be walking "home", back to their rooms.

[slashsbaconpit]

All new material. No songs from Appetite, Illusions or Democracy. Every song is going to be new. And each show will be six hours long.

Yeah, I think that's realistic.

In 2011, I went to Vegas to see Slash open for Ozzy.  The "ticket time" was like 8, which was tight with my cross country flight, but I figured I could race there and make it before his set started.  Well... Slash def started at 8 sharp that night and I missed 80% of his set.  Ozzy was good though.   Made me always want to know the set times if possible and not make assumptions.  Incidentally, at all of Axl's Hard Rock shows, he was extremely punctual (I assume for contractual reasons).  It was never an issue w the band going on too soon or waiting to long - he just was really on top of it, and didn't just say  "f it I'm in Vegas".

The show usually starts around seven, they go onstage around nine.
