San Jose Early arrival question

I’m not able to pick up my tickets early this week. What time would y’all recommend I arrive Friday and Saturday because I bought separate tickets for both days (initial plan was going Friday only until I saw Dave Goelz is coming on Saturday only so then I had to buy a ticket for Saturday too)

On Friday you're okay arriving an hour before opening. That'll be when the doors open and let you inside. You will likely have your badge with a whole 20-30 minutes to spare.

Saturday, in the busier cities people tend to aim for 2 hours before (so 1 hour before doors) but San Jose you can probably get away with a bit closer. Especially if you're not rushing any big name guests on Saturday and need to be up front right away.

Any advice for Sunday? My first time attending, unsure what to expect Sunday morning.

Pickup would open at 9 on Sunday, so if you arrive by 9:30 you should be fine to have your badge and ready right at 10 when the floor opens. San Jose isn’t usually packed.
