How early?

What time do I need to show up to get a good seat? Please note that I don't really want to stand in line all day.
when my ticket says "no seats, tables, or chairs" does that mean i bought the wrong ticket? what if i want to sit? does this mean there will still be stools, ottomans, and kneeling pillows?

Mine doesn't say that for Interpol tonite. Is this a de facto statement that the club is a dinner theatre now? Is there a vegetarian menu?
