The event starts at the earlier time?

Hi, I've just received an invitation to a marketing event and one sentence reads:

The event starts at the earlier time of 19.oo.

What does 'earlier' mean here?

Thanks a lot,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,

I am supposing that you were sent information before that the event would start perhaps at 20.00?

Hi Alan,

You are right -- it's a reference to the usual starting time with is 19.00.

Many thanks,
