How do you catch Ed's pre-sets?

I'm eagerly awaiting my 14-16th shows coming up starting 10d from today, and I've NEVER seen a pre-set.
I've arrived very early, went straight to my seat, and stayed put til a few songs into the opening act - but still somehow missed it. Once, at the MGM in Vegas, I gave my 10c tic's to my brothers and upgraded to a lower # by connecting with someone who'd travelled alone for the show. We met my donor o/s and the four of us went in together. My bro's split off to get in a beer line and my new friend and I continued on towards our seats. We made a very efficient pit stop on the way and proceded straight to our seats. When I met back up with my brothers, they remarked about how cool it was to finally see a pre-set. Needless to say, I decided to attack my older brother, and although I think I did pretty good, confirmed that he was (is) still way tougher than me,, and had a raspberry (that looked more like ground beef) on my elbow for the remainder of my "pre-set"-less tour to prove it. Damn those Fat Tuesday's and their extra shots of grain alcohol.
....but, I digress. Any insight as to how to go about witnessing these pre-sets? I might not get to see some classics like Dead Man or Soon Forget, due to a drastic increase in Ed's solo repertoire, but I don't want to, nay can not, miss any future classics from show #'s 14 - 3xx (gotta think positively )

Thanks in advance to those who take the time to reply.
Soundchecks well you just have to be there super early (like 4 I think). It varies. I've only heard a couple as I'm too far away from most shows to get there much before the doors open. Outdoor shows give you a better chance of hearing it.

If the opening act can hold there own u don't see this much.
I see. Mudhoney can probably hold their own, hey?
Yeah i would think so .
I would think Mudhoney would need more help than My Morning Jacket did.
