Raleigh venue advice

Hello 👋 I've got pit tickets for Friday's show in Raleigh. First NIN show ever after a 20-year wait, and pretty much the first arena show I have ever cared about -- definitely the only arena show where I haven't had an assigned seat. Add in a dash of anxiety and the pre-paid parking's 5pm entrance, and you've got my appeal for advice on arriving to the Lenovo Center. 😅

1. Will people be lining up for parking well before 5pm / how much?
2. When do people line up at the gate (do they get a ride to sidestep parking?)

Thank yall in advance. It feels silly but I am almost crying now thinking about being able to attend. The help is truly appreciated. 🤘
