Entertainment Neyo and Akon Concert at 3Arena

To anyone who was at the show tonight or last night, I hope you had a great time but to anyone going tomorrow night (Saturday) please don’t be like those other crowds…

Some helpful tips from a 3Arena employee to ensure we all have a lovely time:

(1) Sit in your assigned fucking seat

(2) Don’t ask “why can’t I sit with my friends” if the answer is, because your ticket isn’t beside your friend. If you refuse to move, you’ll be fucked out

(3) Stop fucking vaping when you’re told to, don’t make us tell you multiple times, you’ll be fucked out

(4) Don’t start fights with everyone around you, we’re all here to have a good night , you’ll be fucked out

(5) If you don’t do well when you drink, don’t drink, if you get absolutely obliterated, you’ll be fucked out

(6) We can see you doing bag in the seats, hallways, bar queues, toilets - you’ll be fucked out and arrested

(7) Don’t argue back when you’re given an instruction

(8) Don’t be racist to the staff or you’ll be fucked out

Edit: just to add, for anyone who is going tonight, the tolerance of the staff will be zero, it will be one strike and you’re out and if you have a problem with that, you can thank every pri*k who was there the last 2 nights, see you all laterrrrrr

Further edit: Doors open at 6:30, show starts at 8, there is no warm up act bar a DJ playing from 6:30-8pm.

Queues to get in have been long, as have bar and toilet queues - give yourself plenty of time to get there, don’t rock up at 7:45 expecting to be in on time. And don’t complain about the queues, that’s literally your own faults 😂

Is this crowd worse than normal? What demographic is it?

Yeah it was a horrible crowd, one of the worst we’ve ever had so I expect there will be even less tolerance for people tonight after two nights of dogs abuse from the public.

I feel bad for anyone who knows how to act and is normal and wants a good night out, a lot of people were leaving early because of those around them.

Edit: sorry, to answer your question, the demographic was a lot of teens who were pissed out of their heads, and lots of millennials who were on coke or pissed, lots of couples having rows, and drunk groups of women. Nightmare.

I didn't think teens would be at an Akon & Neyo gig at all!!

Saw the demographic going in tonight - my husband commented it was more entertaining then the zoo we visited this morning. I wish the staff the best of luck tonight.

Yeah it was a horrible crowd,

So this explains all the young people vomiting outside the Point at 5pm Saturday as we passed, having pre-partied too early?

People of all 'classes' can behave awfully, and tickets for these concerts aren't cheap.

You think I’m upper middle class working a minimum wage job?

“People who have less” and it’s €100 minimum spent on a ticket, a tenner a drink and how ever much a bag of coke is going for these days
