There are three entrances at 3Arena, so check your ticket carefully before you arrive.
Entrance 1 is on the left-hand side of the venue and serves the Box Office, 3Concierge and Club 3.
Entrance 2 is the front-facing entrance.
Entrance 3 is on the right-hand side, beside the red line Luas stop.
The Luas is one of the easiest ways to get to the venue. Take the red line to The Point, which is directly outside 3Arena.
You can also take the 151 bus to Castleforbes Road, which is around a two-minute walk from the venue.
If the weather is on your side, 3Arena is around a 30-minute walk from O’Connell Bridge.
Taxis can also drop passengers directly outside the venue.
Parking is available at Point Square, beside 3Arena.
It costs €4.20 per hour, but make sure you plan your journey carefully as the car park closes at midnight.

ctions I should be aware of?
There is a bag size limit in place at the venue.
Bags must be no bigger than 40cm x 40cm x 20cm.
It’s worth checking your bag before leaving home, as bringing a smaller bag will make getting through the venue quicker and easier.
Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult or guardian at all times.
The standing area is restricted to people aged over 14.
The shows will celebrate 25 years of Westlife, with a set expected to feature some of the group’s biggest hits and best-known ballads.
The residency is part of their Westlife 25: The Anniversary World Tour, which will take the band across the UK, Ireland and Europe.
The Dublin shows are particularly significant for the group, as the 13-date run will bring their total number of performances at 3Arena to 82.
That will make Westlife the most prolific performers in the venue’s history.

Mark Feehily will not be performing with the band during the residency.
Mark stepped away from live performances in 2024 following serious health complications. However, he remains involved with Westlife and has contributed to the group’s new music.
Shane Filan recently said that Mark is doing well and sends his love to the band’s fans.
If you haven’t got your ticket yet, there are still tickets available for every night of the 3Arena residency.
Tickets currently start from €80, although prices may vary depending on the date and ticket type.
