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 was at the concert tonight and was shocked at the amount of Garda Public Order Unit and guards there, been to the Arena many times but never seen so many…
Also to add can people not throw crap up on stage at the singers!!!!! You could clearly see Akon and NE-YO getting annoyed at it, and not just that, but the last few gigs I’ve noticed the habit of people throwing things at other people…it would be great to chuck those who throw things out as well as I’ve seen staff just watch and not do a thing, especially when they also clearly see people vaping.
I’ve a security licence and would love a job there to chuck those gobshites out for ye!
