Lana Del Rey - 3Arena - Friday 7th July

Re ticketmaster discussion, see link below to have a feel pf who they are

https://prospect.org/power/ticketmasters-dark-history/

Yeah. About fifteen at Entrance 1 and I'd twenty to twenty-five at Entrance 3. This was at 7:20, as I say.

They all want to be on the barrier, so that they might get a hug from Lana.

You'd be surprised at the energy they can derive from monster and cherry cola vapes, if an ill meaning songstress wanted to she could take over the world.

Decided to get the bus to Dublin on the off chance a ticket pokes up in the meantime.

If someone genuinely wants to offload one, I could be the solution.

Face2Face & Initial price only standing preferable, not open to negotiating stupid prices so not to waste anyone's time.

Will be in Dublin sometime after 7 see how it goes...

Yeah same boat not a smidgen so far although I've just arrived. Managed to ask at box office it was a quick and obvious no.

Right I actually managed to sneak in at 5 past 10 or there abouts, score I thought but firstly was shocked to see bars shut and ya caught Tunnel and Video Games. All over at 20 past.

Loads of room in standing too btw, shockin.

Nah @Ninap I'm not coming to this new forget the presumptions or theories can tell you I was there recently for Maiden and earlier in the year Paramore that were proper sold out shows and they both played very close to the nose of 11 an all too.

At least standing was more in comparison at those by end at least, have zero knowledge of throughout obvs.

As I said above the worst was witnessing a more than number spilling out of the building real early on than what was crying out for tickets outside and I literally girls bawling knowing it wasn't to be before that, granted not claiming this may occur at sold out shows in general there but still.

How you flog the seated btw? Great to be able on a whim an buy 8 tickets, wah wah.

Seemed like a half decent production use of screens at least, vibe I dunno might be a bit too old for it but again not there long to gage, 70%+ women mid to late 20s or am I off? Slightly surprised tbh.

I’d say 80% plus female. And mainly v young. Huge emotional connection between Lana and the crowd. Yeah, I was lucky with the tickets. Family and friends took 6 of them, and flogged two via Adverts

People leave events all the time. I would wager for a lot in the crowd it could be their first live gig and it can be overwhelming for some or could simply be disappointment that it isn't identical to the recording. Would be interesting to see if there's an increase in anxiety issues on the back of COVID. Kids lost 2 years of getting into gigs.

Some were drunk af, saw one girl frustrated at her messy friend but obvs had to reluctantly leave too to look after.

I do acknowledge it could be common alright just a first to put my attention to.

I thought the atmosphere was unbelievable and the gig itself was great. I was surprised by the amount of young fans there. Summertime Sadness (dance mix) must be about 9 years old now and maybe the track with the Weeknd was popular enough around 6 years ago, but I couldn't make the tie to where the fans got into her.

I was led to her music by the Within Temptation cover of that track, think she had already played Vicar st/or just due to play there.

Like FanIrish said very likely Tiktok for most in recent surge.

Every other show she's done here has been a summer show I wasn't in the country for, this time just became unsuitable when I couldn't get a ticket.

Hopefully won't be too far off a future announcement after the Hyde Park gig tonight is dusted. Fingers crossed anyway.

Googled this and yep that's a huge reason so thanks for clarifying - obviously young people can have great taste too haha but I was surprised given lack of chart success but that makes sense now.

Think Lana played same setlist in Hyde Park as 3Arena https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/lana-del-rey/2023/hyde-park-london-england-2ba73cfa.html

Thought Hyde Park might've been a longer show as a bigger event but we didn't miss out if you saw her at 3Arena
