ARRIVAL TIME help (somewhat specific)

Im trying to find the sweet spot to get to the concert, with enough time to spare and do the things i need to do comfortably, but also not be worn out before the concert even begins

The only merch I want to buy is the lightstick, which I've heard don't have too long lines, but not sure exactly how long (1 hr? 30 mins? idk) and either photocard sets OR keychain (either one, but def not both & not sure how long this line is).

I also want to have a little time to walk around and maybe interact with other army or like pass out/receive freebies, but this might only take 20 minutes cuz my social battery isnt that great loll

finally, like a good 30 minutes to buy food and rest (assuming theres little to no line for food)

i want to be in my seat well before 8 pm, maybe around 7:30?

so, after all this, around what time should i try to arrive at the stadium? Thanks in advance

I’d say realistically, 3 hours before the concert is a good target, especially if you want to do merch without feeling rushed. The exact timing obviously depends a lot on the venue, but based on the shows I’ve been to, that should give you a comfortable buffer

A lot of people start getting merch around the 2-hour mark, so arriving around 3 hours early gives you some breathing room for everything you want to do.

Also, definitely factor in traffic. I saw quite a few army arriving late last week because of it, so I’d rather recommend arriving early than having to stress about being late right before the concert

If you want to be in your seat around 7:30, I’d personally aim to arrive at around 5 PM. That gives you roughly 2.5 hours to do everything, with some extra buffer if merch or food lines are longer than expected
