I think you have to be with a TCD student but I ain't really sure

It's a Formal concert in the grounds of trinity, End of may, No all Students under and post grad, staff, Graduates

i've been in the pav loads of times, never once have i heard of needing student id....

adjodlo

Yeah only started going at the very end of last year - cause im not in trinners, always assumed you had to be. Cant resist drinking cans in a pub though.

Nietzschean

err dunno for sure but its probally a rule that u should be a tcd student or be with one.....

only seen em enforcing that rule @ da buttery.....

They never check in the pav cos they're too damn busy! Word of advice: the buttery only check after around half 7! If you're under age, get in there before then, and get your lovely cans from centra in with you too (cos they ask at the bar sometimes too!)

John

Same rules as the buttery I think. I've never seen the rule enforced.

And the Trinity Ball is for all years, any TCD student can buy two tickets. The second ticket can go to anyone, TCD student or not.

Nietzschean

all alumni can get tickets also...

John

Oh yeah, not just TCD students, staff and alumni too, although you see far fewer of those. My theory is they have a secret Freemason-esque bunker

sleepingbeauty

they NEVER check id in the pav, i have seen tourists wander in there and order no prob, they always seem to be way to busy to be doing things like that. yeah i have seen people being asked for id's a lot in the buttery....but thats not to say you cant get away with it there aswell

It's a Formal concert in the grounds of trinity, End of may, No all Students under and post grad, staff, Graduates

and anyone who happens to have a mate in trin willing to give them a ticket. it was the weirdest thing last year- every random person i spoke to was from ucd or dit or somewhere else other than trin! not saying that was really bad or anything but twas weird anyway...

Hmm... that's odd, I was always under the impression that regular students were allowed only one ticket each, whereas scholars (seeing as they live on the grounds) were allowed in free and could give their ticket away, being the only ones who could bring non-students in with them. Of course, I don't even go to the college yet, so I'm going to trust you on this one.

John

well I've bought two tickets for each of the last two years, so you can take it I'm fairly certain of this

and it's not just scholars living on campus, all students living on campus get free entry

sleepingbeauty

that regular students were allowed only one ticket each

dont know about scholars, but any tcd student can buy 2 tickets, what they do with the second is up to them- they can even bring their granny if they want

Another thing I seem to have gotten wrong, I was under the assumption that the only on-campus accomodation was for scholars, with the rest of the proletariat off in that place Trinity has in Rathmines. Wrong again, it seems. I really should have spent a little more time learning about this place that I'll be spending the next four years.

The Pav is not a student Bar its a sports Bar and all profit goes to the luce Sports hall. You need to be a member of that club to be allowed drink in the Pav. Membership is not limited to current students, but all current students are members. Pass students and staff can join the club no problem. Also The PAv does ask for Trinity ID, often at the weirdest times, or if you don't look right. Personally I don't like the Pav, since I don't drink can's of piss and sit on wet grass for hours on end. That said sometimes it's nice.

Chick

wheres the buttery?

Not entirely true. The money goes to DUCAC who run sports (including the sports hall) in the college.

The buttery is just off the front square in trinity. Its to your left when you walk in the front gate. There's steps down into it and there's also a cafeteria.

Em.. no, they dont, they have to buy a ticket. They actually published a list of rules for residents on the trinity ball site. If you don't have a ticket you are literally not supposed to leave your building. But like.. lets be realistic, I can't see many heeding that.

The Pav is a total dump, imho. Been there a few times in my (so far) 2 years at trinity. Just don't like the atmosphere there, and its always jammed. Buttery isn't much better, but thats where I solicit most...erm...

The pav is great. Its one of these rare places where you can get drunk without having to set foot inside the pub to buy a drink. Classic.

Nietzschean

arts head?, most of the time arts bock peops -> buttery
sci -> pav, much rather the pav meself, always run into people i know

Yeah but the Pav only really draws in the crowds from march onwards, when its warm enough to go outside! I'm a seasonable Pav drinker.

Must have changed recently because I knew someone living on campus and they got free entry, the only thing that happened was that security check the rooms beforehand to make sure you're not harbouring a room full of people gatecrashing

Nietzschean

afaik its not changed, just people ignore it.........as they have always done...

Hmm wonder how many times I've been barred from the Pav so far, must be pushing on three times. Once I ordered a pint of milk(if you have ever been drinking with me, you'll understand) and yer man asked for ID. Party cause he was an ass, and partly cause i'm a north dublin scumbag that looks like he's about to turn the place over.

Have to say the Pav and surrounding green space is great craic during the summer, it's a seasonal thing though.

Kappar

I don't really like the pav at night, It's a good spot during the day and early evening when you are looking for something to do. I don;t know what it is about it at night.

Chick

hey ceilingfan i noticed wat u said bout eng/sci goin 2 pav, and arts farts arent appreciated lol, im a student nurse. where am i welcome? pav/buttery?

Never been barred, the staff love us too much even though we make a lot of work for them.Remember the egg-cup Hour of Power Ceiling?

Picture this.. Ceilingfan standing on a picnic table outside pav, empty bavaria can of whiskey in his hand. Americans + Video camera, sitting around said picnic table. To all of you who don't know Ceilingfan personally, this is like introducing a cheetah to amphetamines. The chap was in his element...
I've never before seen such a vehement speech (take his above rants X100)... It may or may not have had to do with cellotape.. Shamelessly funny!

Pav obviously , and all your buddies too cos med sci is not anythin artsy. Artsy means BESS/arts. Hamilton end are medsci/eng/sci (incl maths).

Chick

grosssss!

PrecariousNuts

You better get used to the sight of gore. I remember the last time I was in the Matter Hospital, man alive there were men alive in there.

Also, hurrah for Hamilton!

Chick

i know lol ppl keep sayin if ur gonna b a nurse youd better get used to it. if i had a penny foe everytime someone has said that to me i could build my own pub, nevermind the pav...!

Aye it's true.. But if you want a decent lunch go to the buttery, we do all the time. The only other time we go there is for the battle of the bands. Other than that it's a kip. The Pav has the atmosphere, the cheap cans and (when the blazer squad aren't cocktailing) the sound people!

It's the place to be..

Ok this was an ignorant statement. I assumed its a good lunch cos we (as in my mates and I) always go there for lunch. I've never actually eaten their food though cos I always have a packed lunch.. I'm too tired now to speculate as to why the hell they all eat it. Though you have to remember my group is weird (ceilingfan is in it), we often eat strange things for fun.

How about this.. If you want a cheap fill go to the buttery?

Nietzschean

Yeah, tis tripe, but its cheap. Ye wouldn't exactly eat it if money grew on tree's.....

John

Buttery is bad, Hamilton café is worse. JCR or off campus eateries all the way.

Chick

so whos on the blazer squad...?lmao
and thanks for the "tip" about where to eat... :S

The Ham Caf has exactly the same food as the buttery, just it was drove down in a truck.

Mmm tasty.
