Getting there
The 3Arena prides itself on being accessible, with the Luas Red Line bringing concert-goers from the city centre right to the front door. The same line also stops by Heuston Station, for fans coming from further afield.
The 151 Dublin city bus route operates every 10 minutes during rush hour and will leave you on Castleforbes Road, the closest stop to the venue, just a two minute walk away. The last bus departs Castleforbes Road at 23.15pm Monday to Saturday.
Driving is an option but if you are planning to, be warned that there is limited car parking available in The Point Village carpark, and it is not operated by 3Arena.
You can find more information over on the 3Arena's website. It'll be a busy week at the 3Arena, formerly known as The Point as Girls Aloud will perform there on Friday and Saturday, followed by comedian Jo Koy on Sunday.
