I think we had an hour wait--but worth it. We had a similar experience. The line's not that bad and there's a lot of opportunity for people watching, which can be interesting in NOLA.My wife and I were in New Orleans last month and waited 30 minutes to get into Preservation Hall. The show was worth the wait; the other people in line were good to hang out with for a while; and open containers are allowed, even encouraged, in the French Quarter. Normally, if the wait is more than 15 minutes, I'm moving on.
