Rod Stewart Latest Tour - Time On Stage?

[Jaidyn]

Has anybody been to one of Rod Stewart's concert dates yet that says the gates open at 1700 (5pm) ? WE would like to know approx when he or his support act actually start on stage as we don't fancy hanging round in our pitch seats for hours ?
Thanks

My tickets state gates open @17.30 and start time TBC. But I am sure I have read that the start time is 19.30 which when purchased I thought that if I can not get off work early that day I would be able to get home, changed, eat etc before getting there for approx 18.30.

I hope that you both enjoy the concert. I have 'rediscovered' Rod, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen ~ all of them are ace.

You may enjoy watching the support bands/artists-I've discovered a few really good bands that way. (Anyone remember when Queen supported Mott the Hoople?). For example I saw Squeeze support someone in 1977 and discovered Electric Soft Parade at Oasis)
