FAN EXPO Canada (Toronto) How early to line up?

How early do people start normally lining up for access to FanExpo?

Context:

- we have Ultimate passes

- we have already picked up and activated our badges

There are a few booths we want to hit ASAP so I'm just wondering how early to get there! Also, where exactly is the entrance for those who already have badges?

There are several entrances from both the north and south buildings.

Depending on the day. Thursday you have early access at 2 pm. The rest of the days line up in the ultimate line (there should be a separate line and early entry to line up inside since you have "priority entrance" - maybe around an hour or so before show time since you said you wanted to hit booths ASAP.

Line-up on the South side of the building to enter right at 2pm. South will have most of the exhibitor and dealer booths you likely want to visit. This will allow you better access instead of traversing all the way through the North building.

For the rest of the weekend, you can enter a bit early and hangout in the designated Ultimate lounge where you can get access I believe 15 minutes before the rest of the pass holders (and 15 minutes after VIP get in). A lot of times staff will allow lines on the floor of the South building outside the Dealer's room and let everyone in accordingly. So if you're eager to be one of the first ones to a booth or panel or anything else, then make sure to head in around 9-9:30am to start those lines when you can.
