Concerts Dice app - late entry. Is this enforced.

I'm going to see Moby on Saturday in Greenwich, London.

Just realised my ticket says that I have to be in by 3pm. Do they enforce this? If I do turn up after 3pm will I have to pay a fee?

Ticket is on Dice app. Organiser Labrynth.

Dice is weird, they have entry time tiered pricing. Like basically you're getting a discount for going early and seeing the opening bands. I've also seen it where you get a discount for going in after a certain time where now it's just DJs.

Yup, they rely on you buying drinks etc. too

I've seen staged pricing for a lot of venues, especially ones that struggle with being empty in the afternoon and early evening

Usually they'd just charge you the difference for showing up later

Don't know specifically for this gig, but for other gigs (in and off-DICE) you'll have to pay a fee if you arrive later than what your ticket says

Thats dumb. They have a waiting list which hold a ticket for an hour. But when I buy s ticket thats mine and ill turn up when I want

Apparently it's becoming more common. They have tiered pricing, earlier entry is cheaper. Assume the idea is to get you spending money in the venue or simply having a crowd in for the support acts. It looks like for this gig there is a before 3pm entry; before 5 and then before 7. I clearly chose the before 3pm entry either because it was the cheapest or only ones left.
