I have tickets too. It is opening up at 8 AM and I intend to be there at 8 AM. I had the privilege of seeing then candidate Bush and soon to be First Lady Laura in 2000 at PHCC in New Port Richey. It seems that we stood in line for several hours to get in. It was more than worth it.
That was the one I got locked out of! And we were there 2 hours early. They stopped admitting people about 100 people ahead of us on line - said the place was full.
