Capital of Culture 2005

Its a total fupping ticket fiasco. What else would you expect though, no doubt the bulk of them were given to the friends and family of people involved........what a joke. What good is a City of Culture if the Culture is Corruption!

My poppa tried about 4/5 different centras in town between 12:00 and 12:20, the times when the tickets were released. He couldn't find one place that had any left and he didn't see one person leave a store with them, he only saw them leave moaning about the lack of tickets.
My girlfriends brother also had the same experience with different Centras and SuperValus.

Its pretty obvious that its all going to corporate sponsors of the events and their families. What a great way to start the years events, we all have trust in them to put on great shows now :rolleyes:

MSVC don't make much sense at the best of times... We're a capital of culture and you can download the ledge over someone's front door as a background...

In case anyone is still looking for tickets, as of 10am this morning, Centra in Little Island were still giving out tickets (and seemed to have a few left too), eejit here didn't ask for one and only realised on the way back to work...

I called in to a number of Centras - finding it hard to find tickets.

many centras gave out tickets the day before (whether phyisically or by placing them in envelopes under the counter)

i hate this sort of thing, they should have been given out only on day x, and if you really wanted one you would queue outside the door, in ticketmaster style

Ive been to a lot of the previous city of culture cities and cork is as good as any if not a damn sight better. It cant compete with avignon or bruge on architecture but culture isnt just bricks and mortar. Its only 15 years ago that cork city was a complete dump but thats changed. Pana is as fine a street as any in Ireland and cork has a unique atmosphere. Its the biggest town in the world and has the best pubs and best pub atmosphere.
