Hi guys, I have tickets to Bon Jovi in Manchester UK next year. The gates open at 12, however I've recently discovered I won't be able to attend until at least 7pm...

Now I'm 99% sure he won't have started prior to then.. at least from previous (non-bon-jovi) events they normally take a while to get going, with various support etc.

but I have a few questions...

1) from previous jovi gigs, and the 12pm start time - when would you anticipate the band starting their set?

2) what would you do? or what would be the latest time you would consider arriving?

The above questions assume the 'doors' don't close... would that be a possibility?

thank you very much
