They had plenty of time ahead. Today was Friday with no classes, and the next two days were the weekend. Once Xie Shu finished his match, it was practically a holiday for him.

Regarding the Labor Day holiday...

Next Tuesday was Labor Day, which meant there was still one more day of classes next week before the official break.

Even though there was one day stuck in between, those students who had bought tickets in advance would still leave early, especially those without classes on Monday. A Labor Day holiday for them was like getting three extra days off, plus the first three days of the holiday coincided with the school's sports event, so there were no classes.
