Who said the show started at 7pm?? I bought my tickets directly from the Giant Center Box Office, and it clearly stated that the concert began at 6:30pm. I just read someone complaining about being misinformed about when the concert actually started...assuming the 6:30 meant when they were going to open the doors for the concert, and the show began roughly around 7pm. Now I have been to lots of concerts and sporting events where the times have been printed on the ticket itself, that is when the show STARTS, not a rough estimate that the show will begin a half hour later. I think simple darwinism (stupidity) is what kept a lot of people out of the stadium for the first half of the concert. The gates opened a little after 5pm so people were given adequate time to find their seats, and the GA could rush up to the front and get the best position possible...just think about what you said. you thought the gates opened at 6:30 and the show would begin at 7....30 minutes for 30,000 people to find their seat, get some drinks, buy some shirts and be seated by the time Daughtry got on stage. Ridiculous
