Let's also remember that Miss Aloha Hula didn't get done until 12:30 Friday morning.
On hula kahiko night most halau don't stay till the end of the night mainly because they have to be up bright and early Saturday morning to prepare for their `Auana. Depending on where the halau is staying, some have lots of miles to drive just to get some sleep. Last year, we stayed at the Kilauea Military Camp (about 30-45 minutes away) so we could avoid the hustle and bustle of Hilo Town.
I even know of some kumu who don't let their halau watch the Miss Aloha Hula competition on Thursday just to make sure they don't lose focus.
The area behind the stage is for halau/VIP only, and security's usually really good about not letting anyone in without that pass around your neck.
