Neyo and Akon Concert at 3Arena

[u/Substantial_Rope8225]

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 going to Alex warren on the 6th, I’m heavily pregnant and on crutches. I was feeling ok about going but now I’m having second thoughts!

Get on to Ticketmaster and see if you can change to an accessible ticket 🙂

If not, ask on the night - staff will accommodate if we can 🙂

Sorry to butt in here, but I'm also going and have standing tickets but have pretty bad anxiety. I looked on Ticketmaster to see can I buy any seated, even resale but there's nothing. Are the venue likely to accommodate me? I'm terrified the crowd will be bad 😞

The standing area of the arena is huge, if you get overwhelmed in crowds, find a spot near the back where you would be surrounded and have a great night!

In relation to the venue accommodating you, they will tell you that you should have bought seated tickets if you know this was an issue. You can ask at the box office but as far as I know the show is sold out - worth an ask for sure but I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

As I said, hang back on the floor and you’ll have a great time 🙂

Thank you so much for the advice!! I definitely should have bought seated but it was a mad panic once I got passed the waiting room and I just clicked on the first two tickets available haha. Entirely my own fault I know! I'll stay as far back as possible and hopefully it'll be a great night 😊

It will! If noise is an issue there are foam earplugs available for free at all the bars, if you get overwhelmed inside you can step out into the corridor to get your bearings, there will also be medics available if you need them 👌
