About 3Arena - Dublin

3Arena - Dublin is an indoor multi-purpose arena on North Wall Quay in Dublin 1, Ireland. The venue originally opened in 1988 as The Point after the conversion of an 1878 railway depot building, was extensively redeveloped and reopened in December 2008 as The O2, and was renamed 3Arena in September 2014. Operated by Live Nation, with naming rights held by Three Ireland, it holds approximately 13,000 guests for concerts, with capacity varying by configuration.

The arena is one of Dublin’s leading live entertainment destinations and the city’s largest indoor arena. It regularly hosts arena-scale concerts across pop, rock, hip-hop, dance, country, classical, and other genres, along with comedy shows, family productions, children’s entertainment, awards-style events, boxing, MMA, darts, and other occasional indoor sporting events.

Set in the regenerated Dublin Docklands, 3Arena - Dublin blends the preserved brick façade of the 19th-century Point Depot rail terminus with a contemporary arena interior designed for large-scale live shows.

Location & Transportation

3Arena - Dublin is located at North Wall Quay, Dublin, DN DUBLIN 1, Ireland — in the Dublin Docklands beside the River Liffey, with direct Luas access at The Point stop.

3Arena - Dublin Seating Guide

3Arena - Dublin uses a flexible concert-focused layout, with many shows offering a general-admission standing floor and others using a seated floor configuration. The tiered bowl surrounds the floor with lower-tier and upper-tier/balcony blocks, so seat choice depends on whether you want proximity, atmosphere, comfort, or value.

Best Seats at 3Arena - Dublin

• Best value: Upper-tier/balcony blocks and seats toward the rear or sides typically offer the most affordable options while still keeping you inside the arena atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: The standing floor for general-admission concerts and the front lower-tier blocks are closest to the stage.
• Best overall experience: Lower-tier blocks facing the stage and front sections of the seated bowl offer a strong balance of sightline, proximity, and reserved-seat comfort.
• Premium and suite options: Premium hospitality, club, and VIP packages are available for selected events, adding upgraded service and amenities.
• For groups: Groups are accommodated within the tiered blocks, and coordinating contiguous seats early is the best way to keep everyone together for high-demand events.
• General admission: Many concerts use a general-admission standing floor, giving fans festival-style flexibility and an immersive crowd experience near the stage.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Getting Ready for Your 3Arena - Dublin Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a busy Docklands arena with Luas crowds, car-park demand, and large post-show departures.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Large crowds can congest mobile networks around the Docklands at event times. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself time to clear security and avoid the biggest arrival rush; the Luas Red Line and nearby car parks fill ahead of major events.
• Wear the right footwear. 3Arena - Dublin is an indoor arena with standard concourse walking, but general-admission standing-floor events can mean spending extended time on your feet.
• Dress in layers. The arena is indoors, but the riverside Docklands location can be cold and windy on arrival and departure, especially during the walk to or from transit.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. The Luas Red Line is a convenient way to arrive, but large event crowds can create busy conditions before and after shows.
• Know your entrance. Reviewing your block and level before you arrive can speed up entry, and the Luas The Point stop puts you directly by the main entrance.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
