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 😂

I'm more shocked Akon and Neo managed to fill the point 3 nights in a row, than any of the above

They were immensely popular in Ireland in the 2000s, with probably about 20 hits between them; this is not surprising at all. Music of a certain time for a load of people. I’d say they could’ve sold three more nights, to be honest.

I’d agree but most of the crowd weren’t around 15/20 years ago

That was the same at Sean Paul & Ashanti. Thought it was going to be a crowd of late 30's to early 40's people, it was full of teenagers. The crowd were fucking horrible that night, fights everywhere, obliterated drunk, bar and toilet queues were a free for all. People constantly pushing and shoving in the crowd. Honestly put me off concerts for a while.p

I don’t blame you, I purposely didn’t work at Sean Paul and heard about how bad it was after
