3arena moving from seating to standing section

wally1990

Hi all,

I plan on attending the slipknot concert in jan at the 3arena but the only tickets available are the seating area.

Has anyone had an experience in trying to get into the standing section during a metal/rock concert before? I plan on taking my seat and then moving down along.

Has anyone tried? Thanks all

Doubtful you'd be able to sneak down, otherwise everyone would be doing it. Different entrances for seated and standing with lots of securtiy etc etc. I've been in the seats for RATM and Rammstein and found I much preferred it, taking in the whole gig while drinking beers in comfort. I'm old though so that might explain that.

You have the rent-a-cops there who prevent it. And those pricks with their little earpieces and their under-sized black t-shirt with "SECURITY" screen printed onto the front of it are not the most pleasant of people.

Bitter and twisted because the Gardaí, the army, the fire service and the coast guard all told them that they were too overweight/stupid to work for them, so the only gig they can get is being gig security. Even the LUAS rent-a-cops do be laughing at them, and that is low.

They make up for their lack of masculinity and microscopic penis by acting big and pushing people around in a music venue.

Yeah, you can probably guess I don't like security guards/bouncers/private security very much.

They probably don't think too much of you either, i've never had an issue with the security at The Point, the gigs would be chaos without them.

As for getting down into standing it's pretty easy, quite a few ways of doing it, best one is you need at least 2 mates already down in the standing section, work how to do it yourself ;-)

Is this sarcasm or is that really the best you can do?? :p

The rent-a-cops at QOTSA back in 2013 were pulling girls down off lads shoulders in the crowd and being general pricks while the mosh pit was happening, got pulled to the ground by security after knocking my brother by accident. I know it was to try and stop people getting injured but they went about it horribly. That was until 'Make it wit chu' started and the singer Josh Homme told security to go f*ck themselves, mosh pit took off again and security didn't even try to stop it. Such a fun gig

No harm. They do a great job blocking the view for many behind them. Even worse when some silly bint decides to open out a flag. I've always noticed at music festivals that these people were always a target for many people who would throw their cups of beer at them.

Anyone know what time the slipknot gig will finish at? Have to sort out transport see.

Someone told me if you have an o2 priority pass you can go to a bar that has a door to standing section? any truth to this long time since I was in the 3 arena.
