I have no idea why people still do this.

There is no way a hip-hop headliner is coming on before 11/11:30 in any scenario, especially on a weekend.

Call the box-office the night of to see when the act is actually scheduled to come on & how many opening acts are on the list, then plan to arrive at least a half-hour to an hour after whenever they tell you.

There is no excuse otherwise.

This is why I showed up to the KRS show at The Roxy on Sunset at 11:45 on Friday night, got to see what I paid to see onstage within fifteen minutes of entering the building while saving myself the extra time & cash on inflated drink prices.
