Galctus Live Event Date and Time

Recently we found out when and what time the Galactus live event will start. The time of it starting is Tuesday Decmber 2nd at 4 pm ET. But they advised that you try to get there about an 1 hr early because many people will be trying to get in the event. But also I am pretty confused why they would not put the event on a weekend so that everyone may have time to get there, but if the event is on this date many people have work and school so they probably won’t be able to get into the event. But I’m just really hoping that this live event will be really good.
