Definition
到场 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to be present' or 'to show up (at an event/place)'. The verb 到 and the noun 场 can split when you insert a time duration, a measure word, or a complement between them — for example, 到了场 ('showed up') or 到过场 ('have been present'). You cannot put an object after 到场; instead, use 在 + place before it (e.g., 在会场到场).
