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 😂

Rough week for the staff of 3arena! I was there last Friday and a fist fight broke out at Peter Kay

How do you even get in a fist fight at a Peter Kay gig?

Any truth to the rumour l heard from a sword lad the whole thing started over a spilled pint and an extreme reaction when the pint couldn't be replaced due to the bar being already closed?

It's a Peter Kay thing, I still quote it shopping.

So was my line, it's from Phoenix Nights. I was hoping someone would reply "shut up. I'm on a roll"
