    Petty and foo fighters were over at 10:30 sharp. Pj will be same so figure 7:45 start as mentioned above.

    I would definitely be in my seat by 7:00. 7:45 is a huge risk if you ask me.
    That's what I was thinking.

    Paul McCartney went on closer to 800pm, played until almost 1100pm. So I think the curfew is different based on the performer, not necessarily the night of the week (since this was a Sunday and the Dead ended at 1030pm on a Fri and Sat).

    I would be surprised that the curfew changes for the performer. I love that McCartney played past 10:30.

    If the tickets says 6:30? I think 90 minutes is jacked up Axl treatment. An hour or less and it should be more like 30-40 minutes in keeping who how they did it on the last leg.

    but do you think everyone is gonna be in their seats at 715? theres gonna be alot of "casual" fans there that are probably just gonna assume it starts around 8 like most other concerts. i doubt pj will go on at 715 if its half empty.

    what time did they go on at wrigley in 2013?

    They have a hard curfew this time though and I am willing to bet they will not break up there set because people are late.

    I don't recall...was there but was buzzed and not worried about it. (Although with the rain, we should have been!)
    If the "casual" fan isn't Ass In Seat by 45 minutes after the listed start time....they are not casual fans, they are idiots who wasted their money and a seat for someone who might actually want to see the band he paid money toward. Who sits 45 minutes after the listed start times?

    Curfews are not performer-based. I would assume the noise curfew is actually 11pm but Fenway and their management ask for performers to be finished by 10:30. They certainly don't rewrite the laws based on who is on stage, although if anyone deserves to have special circumstances applied it's Sir Paul ;)

    I think it's a safe bet that they'll be on close to the 3 hour mark

    Went to all 3 shows at Fenway this past weekend ( 2 Dead - 1 McCartney). All 3 had a 6:30 start time on the ticket. On Friday, the Dead went on about 6:40 and were done by 10:30 (with an hour plus set break in between sets.) Yeah, didn't see that coming and was about 30 minutes late. On Saturday they went on between 6:45 and 6:50 and were again done by 10:30. McCartney didn't go on until around 8:15 and was done just before 11 with no set break. The security lines for all 3 shows were a complete nightmare. Budget at LEAST 30 to 40 minutes to get through security. All entrances require emptying all pockets and walking through metal detectors and all bags (including small pocketbooks) were thoroughly searched.

    thanks for that tip, the security looks like it will be a bummer, are vapes allowed in? Were people smoking joints at the concert, as in out open?

    I was hoping that the band or management would put something out on social media about telling people when they should be in their seats. I'm in the camp of being in seats by 7 for a probable 7:30 start time. And the pictures of the lines getting in for McCartney looked horrendous. I'm expecting a clusterfuck. I

    When I was at Wrigley in 2013, the ticket said 7:30 and I'd say almost if not everyone was in their seats for that time. They didn't come on until about an hour later, but I'll just be on the safe side and be in my section for 6:30. Doors open at 5:30 so you have time to hang out

    Agree -- I will be in my seat before 7 and if they start earlier on night 1 I will be in earlier. (Only going to night 2)

    If you have field seats, it takes about a half hour to get from outside Fenway to your seats for a concert. If you plan to purchase a beverage or relieve yourself, I'd give yourself 45 minutes.
