He got on at 23:15.
I think Naltav knows if it was 3 hours after Danko Jones.
However, he said the promoters were told GNR would be on around 2100ish...and it was three hours until he came on.
All due to his very late entry into the country.
Re: Bergen, Norway - May 31, 2010 (Vestlandshallen)
Don't remember exactly when Danko ended their set. But I think GNR went on about 2 hours after Danko. I was busy chatting with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time, buying beer and checking out merch! 
But I heard or read somewhere that Danko played a longer set than they were scheduled to, in order to minimize "dead time" until Axl was ready... Smart enough!
According to the ticket, doors opened at 18:30.
Re: Bergen, Norway - May 31, 2010 (Vestlandshallen)
Well, that's my point. As a GNR fan I know if the ticket says doors open at 7pm, GNR probably won't go on until at least 10, maybe not till 12, so I'd be prepared for that. However, if the opening act(s) got done at 8 and they still hadn't gone on until 11, now that would be a little crazy.
Honestly, there should really only be an hour break tops between opening and main act, but with GNR you almost have to accept it may be 2 hours. But 3 would be pushing it. And that's just for people who know of Axl's tendency for late starts. For those who don't, good luck.

Here's Ron for you....saying it's due to the late starts is speculation, but that's what forums are for:
BIIIG thanks to Ilkka & everyone at DLX Music for hosting a great
Helsinki meet-n-greet, along with my Engl amp brethren that put all the
pieces together to make these meet-n-greets happen. And especially
everyone that came down today, great to meet (& greet) you all!!
Spent 2 or 3 hours signing GNR albums & shirts, photos, B'foot
albums, and then saw lots of familiar faces in the crowd at the show...
was a pleasure playing for you all tonight And in Norway too... I
wasn't in the best spirits at the Norway shows (nothing
Norway-related), sometimes ya just can't bury what you feel - it's even
tougher when you're trying to give yourself to the audience, it's like
driving with both feet pressed hard on the gas and the brake
simultaneously, ya burn up all your energy internally and can't take
yourself where you need to go. Glad to have bandmates that can keep
spirits lifted, for you and for me. Lookin' forward to coming back to
Russia - toured there on my own in '04, '05... see ya's soon
