Yeah, unless you live in the IE, you’re likely close to one and (approximately) a million miles away from the other.

Wait....does that mean The Tram, Monsterous and Quiet place also aren't considered EA houses either?
Correct. They're not because they open practically at 7pm. Also they let the crowds loose around 640pm-ish
So following up... went again last night... and same thing. Unless you have Early Entry, you will not be allowed to enter any houses until 7pm.
Confirmed this by talking to two different maze supervisors (DE: DV and Bloodlines). Both said that their superiors have informed them that even though their mazes open at 6:30 and 6:45 respectively, and are not "officially" on the Early Entry list, general admissions cannot even enter the queue until 7pm.
The DE: DV supervior even said he remembered me from last night, and while I can understand that it may not be his decision, he was pretty much a jerk in delivering the news and not apologetic at all, even though this is reversing a policy that has been otherwise for well over a decade or more now. They did let me into the Bloodlines queue early (prior to 7), but the supervisor there did admit they were not supposed to, and said the event is "evolving" and not everyone may yet be on the same page (especially when I mentioned that Monstrus let us in early). She was at least nicer about this news.
So just be warned: at least on paper, no GA tickets are supposed to be allowed into ANY maze until 7pm (and I noticed that is now printed directly on the wristband), but you may get lucky if that particular maze is not enforcing it or just don't notice. Honestly, I think this sucks and is totally a money grab to essentially force you to buy Early Entry.
If this policy continues, I don't really foresee myself getting FFP next year, because unless you can go/stay very, very late at night, there's not much value in it anymore.

That’s sucks but also until you guys said anything would have no use general could get into houses before 7 pm
If they can get general lines moving, that would make up for it but they keep cycling all or most express guests before even letting the general line move and that’s the real issue I see
Last night got busy but before 8 pm lines looked better then Thursday
Also via Facebook someone said the line for the terror tram was listed as 40 mins but was really only 8 mins to get on. So you might want to come view the line for the tram and not always believe the board
