Why it matters now

This is a high-demand event where advance logistics matter more than simply knowing the date. Paid-seat entry begins at 15:00 and ticket guidance warns that guests who do not reach assigned seats before 18:00 may be denied entry/refund. Detailed 2026 road and crowd-control plans are still being updated, so visitors should recheck official transport notices close to November 7.
