Dublin Rebels Super Bowl Party 2015

Lothaar v2 · 15-01-2015 6:33pm #1

As with previous Dublin Rebels Super Bowl parties, we're offering a little something extra for boardsies - free beer! There's a free bottle of beer for the first 50 tickets purchased via boards.ie. To get your ticket, use this link (this isn't publicly visible). There's also free beer for the first 50-100 people to arrive, so you can double-up by getting there early

Tickets cost €10 + €1 booking fee.

This year, the party is in the Odeon on Harcourt Street. The past couple of years in Harry's on the Green were great events but there was such demand for tickets that we decided to move to a bigger venue. The Odeon's capacity is about 50% bigger than Harry's - we want to let more people in but we're also conscious that having a bit of extra space allows everyone to watch the game in comfort, get served at the bar a bit quicker etc. The Odeon's size and layout makes it a pretty sweet venue for this sort of thing.

We're working on the AV setup, hoping to get HD screens everywhere etc. I'll update this thread as we have details on this and anything else (drinks promotions, food etc).

Here's the official blurb on the event:

It's that time of year again..... The NFL Super Bowl XLIX!
The Super Bowl returns to Arizona, as the NFL stages its 3rd Super Bowl in Phoenix at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, on February 1, 2015.
Dublin’s longest running American Football Club, the Dublin Rebels, are delighted to announce our own exclusive Super Bowl XLIX Party. Already well known and regarded as the original and best Super Bowl party in Dublin, we have teamed up with what is arguably one of the city's finest venues - the stunning and outstanding ODEON on Harcourt Street to bring you something truly sensational.
This amazing venue will be transformed into a digital hub of AV multimedia with the Bowl being shown live on a truck load of HD TV screens including a giant screen of course. The ODEON will of course be serving food throughout the night with drinks promotions also available, guaranteed to deliver that NFL experience.
And of course, let’s not forget the very famous and sexy Dublin Rebels Cheerleaders, who will be there on the night doing their thing, except this year, they’re bringing the full squad!!
The tailgate party kicks off at 8pm with DJ Sean Harley.
For larger groups of 8 or more please contact us on superbowl@dublinrebels.com for information on our corporate packages. Superbowl 2015
TICKETS ARE LIMITED SO GET THEM EARLY
Ticket price is €10 plus booking fee. As this is a fund raising event, all ticket proceeds go to supporting the Dublin Rebels in our 2015 season, so a massive thank you from everyone at the Dublin Rebels. All ticket holders will be placed into a draw to win an official Dublin Rebels jersey at half-time, amongst other prizes.
As with every year, this is a sell-out event and admission is strictly by ticket only. There will be no tickets available at the door on the night so book now to avoid disappointment.
Over 18s - ROAR by the venue management - Tickets are non-refundable

Actually... just confirmed: the first 250 people through the door will get a free beer.

OU812 · 15-01-2015 11:53pm

I think I should get a free beer anyway as I've talked four friends into going

Green_Martian · 16-01-2015 1:25pm

This sounds great, will let my NFL mates know and will hopefully get us all signed up

Lothaar v2 · 16-01-2015 5:41pm

Update: There will be free food! the Odeon will be putting on platters for half time. Probably not enough to put you off the post-Bowl kebab, but still... free food

Lothaar v2 · 19-01-2015 1:04am

Free bucket of beer if you post the exact score of the Pats-Colts game here by halftime: https://www.facebook.com/dublinrebels/photos/a.222442861212973.1073741825.154182734705653/292635334193725/?type=1

Lothaar v2 · 22-01-2015 5:42pm

I just got some details on the AV setup for the night. Still some things to be sorted, but I can confirm that we'll have:

- 20+ HD TVs throughout the Odeon, with the exact layout still to be decided
- Four 6-foot high projector screens
- One 14-foot x 8-foot screen near the main bar
- Maybe more...

We're aiming to create a setup that will give a great view of the game from any vantage point in the venue, whether you're ordering a drink or turning to chat to your mates. As football fans ourselves, we're concerned with being able to watch the game, first and foremost!

Don't forget: There's a free bottle of beer for the first 50 tickets purchased via boards.ie. To get your ticket, use this link (this isn't publicly visible).

Food/Drink Update:

I can confirm that there'll be pitchers for €15 and ice-buckets of bottled beer for €20.

More importantly... there'll be burgers and hot dogs

Burgers - €5
Hot dogs - €4

Shedite27 · 27-01-2015 11:53am

Tickets bought, washed the Teddy Bruschi jersey last night, 5 days to go!

Will those cheerleaders be there???

Lothaar v2 · 28-01-2015 6:05pm

Those two were at a couple of Superbowl parties - don't think they'll be in the crew this year. But don't worry... the cheerleaders will be lovely girls

So ther will be cheerleaders on the curriculum ;-)

Lothaar v2 · 28-01-2015 6:37pm

Yep, definitely. They'll be knocking around for a few hours, chatting, messing and taking photos. There's usually some performance too, either dancing on the bar, tables or a stage. It's different every year. There are a few photo albums here that will give you an idea of what to expect.

Lothaar v2 · 29-01-2015 11:43am

We're expecting to sell out of tickets by 3pm today at the latest. There are only a few tickets left (somewhere between 20 and 50) and, at the rate they're selling, they'll be gone in a few hours.

Last chance! Click here to get your ticket.

Can i expect that old guy that plays QB for the team? He's gas when he gets a few drinks on him. Was there last year in Harry's and he was hilarious!

... aaaand we're sold out. Thanks to everyone who bought a ticket. Looking forward to a fantastic night now!

And to anyone who hasn't decided where they're going, I urge you to check out some of the other events being hosted by Dublin teams - it's an amateur (and expensive) sport and money raised becomes the club's lifeblood for the season, rather than adding to a publican's profits. Pale imitations of the Rebels' party, obviously, but still worth a punt

DebDynamite · 29-01-2015 9:59pm

Guys, anyone know what other parties are happening elsewhere? Himself is raging he never got around to getting tickets for the Rebel's party and now it's sold out

We've only ever gone to the Rebel's parties so not sure what else goes on in town.

Hey Deb, I saw that the Rebels have a waitinglist which you could sign up to (just incase)
My recommendation would be to have a look at other IAFL teams. These lads generally use the ticket sales as a fundraiser for their clubs as Football is quite an expensive sport.

I believe Sinnotts are hosted by the Panthers. Maybe check that out?

Thanks for that Seniorpeazel.

Saw that alright re the waiting list, wasn't sure how it works though or what the likelihood would be of getting a ticket once you were one it. Just wanted to get something booked in case other places sell out too!!

Had a look there and the Panther's party in Sinnots is free entry. Strange, you'd think there'd be some kind of cover charge to try and raise some funds for themselves... Will probably head to that one so. I like Sinnots for watching a match.

I would imagine they may have some form of fundraising on the night?
I think Sinnotts is also a main sponsor for them.

I have been keeping my eye on the Rebels facebook and twitter to see if anything opens up. Have a few friend wanting to go but left it too late.

No numbers unless you want to be spammed to death.

Bateman · 31-01-2015 5:11pm

Not much of a "party" venue but I was surprised to see Superbowl night posters in the Boar's Head last night. It's a great little boozer and they'll probably throw out free finger food.

DebDynamite · 31-01-2015 5:36pm

I'd be worried any venues not doing proper parties might close before the game is even over. Pretty sure that happened when we were watching it out one year.

brenm2 · 01-02-2015 11:34pm

Very disappointed to find there were no seats at the Odeon. Actually there were seats but they were all reserved. We've just left as we don't think it's fair to leave us standing for five or six hours. Watching the game in the bleeding horse now where there are seats and it didn't cost anything to get in

Yup, very bull**** move by the organizers. Basically, we pay to stand around and watch a group of mates sit and watch the game. Won't be doing it again.

OU812 · 02-02-2015 9:43am

Was undoubtedly a very successful fundraiser for the rebels, however paying an extra €10 for a seat was a rip off.

Also, next year, how about doing a deal with a beer company that doesnt sell piss? Didn't appreciate not having a choice of beer.

With the rise in popularity of the parties, I think next year if there's not changes, we're going to go elsewhere

s8n · 02-02-2015 11:13am

Great game and another great night but couple of points for next year..

- please can it be shown in HD
- Coors light only across the bars was not welcome
- Half time food was welcome but perhaps a little bit more next year ?
