    Bollocks line-up as usual. Only things even remotely worth seeing are Friendly Fires and Erol Alkan.

    Why don't they ever book decent dance acts any more? 2007 they had Booka Shade, Erol Alkan, Hot Chip, Boys Noize, Dr. Lektroluv, it was great, it was music you actually dance to and have a laugh. Back then I remember people outside Trinity would get jealous when I'd tell them about the line-up. Now, if I was going, I'd be embarrassed to tell anyone for fear of being laughed at.

    I think it's general concensus that the line up is sh*te. Everyone's saying it...
    However its the crack that's to be had at the ball, thats why people are going... Its a huge piss up simple as with a bit of poor music thrown in.

    Ive never been and dont plan on this year, what are the setlists like? Full setlists or what?

    Wouldnt have minded seeing Ian Brown and Babyshambles back in '05 all the same !!

    Them 2 events are totally different, go look at the acts as an example, totally different vibe and targetting a different audience, and their not private parties held in the middle of Dublin, in a fully functioning college campus!

    The 'vibe' or audience in no way changes the finances of the event...And being a private party if anything would make it a lot cheaper, licensing & insurance is much easier for private events. I guarantee MCD are laughing at the thousands of people paying crazy prices for a extremely budget event.

    If so many people think it's more to do with the event than the music, then it'd be nice to see some effort put into the atmosphere, more than horrible tents and takeaway vans.

    Rumour has it, a certain disgruntled media outlet will have covert photographers in place for the evening. And no... it's not for VIP magazine.

    MCD don't pay the catering units to be there, the caterers pay MCD for the right to serve food. I know for the likes of oxegen it costs the caterers anywhere from 2000 to 10000 to be there for the weekend depending on the size of teh unit and what they are selling. The only reason there are caterers at the ball is that teh guys who own those vans, are big enough to have bought the rights for every event MCD have for the year. They dont make much money at the ball and certainly dont get paid by mcd.

    And it's not within the power of Trinity Ents to put their foot down and say they don't want Abrakebabra vans in Trinity?

    Have genuinely never heard of any of them

    The queue or the abrakebabra van at the ball is ALWAYS longer than the queue for the bar. I'd be pissed if there wasn't a van there, and I'm not alone in that.
    I agree it's pricey for the event, but in fairness, it could be the UCD ball.....

    Lost my purse last night, I know there's slim chances of getting it back, but do they have a lost and found or something similar?

    The Chief's Steward's Office is where the lost and found is located. It's at front gate - the door opposite the Guard's Office. I think it opens at 9/9.30. I lost my passport two years ago and got it back. There is always a treasure trove of stuff handed in or found afterwards so don't give up all hope of finding lost possessions just yet.

    I was working at the ball last nite..anything found is handed in to the security desk at the front arch.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,160 ✭✭✭De Hipster


    I also lost a silver bracelet with magnetic clasps, great sentimental value.

    202005.jpg

    I have been on to the Chief Stewards office a few time since Friday night/Saturday morning, no luck so far, no jewellery handed in as yet.

    See the attached image (clasp is very slightly different to that in the image), please pass on the word if anyone knows of any person finding something similar.

    TIA
