Starting a thread for 2025 gigs as they'll likely start rolling in.
I'll arbitrarily throw in Rob Beckett playing the Olympia on the 26th September 2025 which went on sale today.
Lana Del Ray could’ve done stadiums a while ago. Pretty sure she sold out 3 Arena on a weeks notice last year
You must be wan of them big tough North Face jacket wearing townies then ? Alreet yeh ?
Oh I've heard of him alright, I know he's big in the US where there's all sorts of country stars selling out stadiums/arenas, several of which have played at the 3Arena as mentioned above, I just didn't think Bryan would be popular enough here to do 2 nights at 50k each…. London/UK is multiples of Dublin/Ireland and he's only doing two slightly bigger shows there…..
Oh I know, but like I'd have thought her music would be more suited to that type of a venue like, I wouldn't think you'd enjoy it being in a stadium its not the most upbeat music like haha, she can't help it though if there's demand there's demand like
Zach is bona fide
Springsteen and Swift raised the roof on ticket prices and drew the ire of the public in doing so.
Now however every hack is trying to charge these high prices and the public is normalised to these prices.
Its madness.
There is a name for that.
Ageing.
Im 26 I'm old but I'm not that old 😂😂
Sam Fenders released some production tickets:

So it’s non-Dubs only? As it was for Garth Brooks?
Anyone know how many standing tickets were likely to have been released for MBV. It’s obviously the restricted standing model for the 3Arena as some have stated earlier, but given the demand is there anyway that’ll be changed to increase the standing area? Or do the lower down seats already sold preclude that from happening?
Apologies for all the questions.
Absolute barbarians from the midlands and border counties.
It cant be changed now.
Rows 5-20 of the tiered seating would have to be removed to enable the full standing layout.
Im sure they can add an extra date, its not like they have a hectic schedule.
I’d guess that those gigs sold proportionately around the entire island. Taste, good or bad, has no boundaries as we can see from the distribution of musicians on our island.
one night only, no extra dates.
only about 1200 in that configuration. And no the seating configuration is not going to change after all the seats have sold.
Thanks for the info. What’s the standing capacity, as used for The Cure, etc? And the MBV configuration means circa 10/11k tickets sold I’d guess.
3 arena full capacity is 13,000 with downstairs standing and upstairs seated. 3 arena full seated is 8500
3 arena in MBV configuration is 9000 or thereabouts
Thanks, I was aware of the first two figures but not the third. Safe to say that the usual standing would be circa 4,000, or less? Not possible to calculate without being aware of the figures for seating when the standing capacity is met. I appreciate the feedback.
standing area on its own is about 5300 but that can be lower depending how long the walkway is, if there is a mini stage at end of walkway or a second stage like this for kendrick which probably too off 750 -1000 standing tickets from venue capacity
Its 9300 fully seated.
Excellent info. Not available on their official site. Thanks and enjoy your weekend.
it isn’t, it’s 8500 and less than that if a poor visibility sections are roped off which they occasionally do when comedian isn’t using big screens
The Pollstar attendance records for the 3Arena say you are wrong.
Saw them the last time they played the Grand Social. Not bad but didn't really take off like i expected/hoped it would. Barring clashes i'll be in attendance for this one anyway.
a quick chance shows it has the wrong capacity for multiple Dublin venues on it.
My brother introduced me to Fugazi in 1989. Alt music but it was agreeable. Around the same time I bought my first Charlie Parker CD. So it's a win|win.
Saw Doctors back in fairview in June
Gurriers are supporting Kneecap in Fairview next June19. Watched a recording of them on Jools Holland this morning. Bit of a bonus.
