YOUR CHARLESTON NIGHT, HOUR BY HOUR
Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center. Here's when to leave, what to bring, and when she's actually on.
- 5:00 PMHead out
Enough runway for parking and the door line without rushing.
- 6:00 PMDoors open
You don't need to be first in — but this is when the line starts moving.
- 7:00 PMShow starts
The opener goes on. Ella follows.
- —Ella headlines
Usually about an hour after the listed start, once support has played — around 16-18 songs across ~90 minutes. Venues confirm exact times night-of.
WHAT TO BRING
- Concert earplugs — Drops the volume without muffling her vocals. You hear every word and your ears aren't ringing on the drive home.
- Portable charger — Long day, lots of filming, and you still need a map home.

GOOD TO KNOW

WHERE TO STAY
Aim for within ~1.5 miles so the post-show surge doesn't get you.
Driving in or flying? A rental car makes the venue-to-hotel run a lot easier than a post-show rideshare surge.

Venues confirm the night-of running order late. We'll email you the moment set times for this show are posted — plus the game plan above. No spam, unsubscribe anytime.
HOW THIS WORKS
Everything here is built from the same show data we publish on the tour pages — venue, capacity, doors and listed start. We compute your leave-time from that, and we work out the gate rules from venue size (40,000+ seats means an NFL-style clear-bag policy).
What we don't do is guess. If a venue hasn't posted its set times, this planner says so instead of inventing a number — same rule the rest of the site follows. Read the editorial policy.
