The Debs

martymusic

So how are yiz all feeling about the debs?? ...I cant wait for mine, its gonna be sum laugh..anybodys head still recked tryin to get everything sorted?

Corruptedmorals

No not really...debs tickets bought last week, bag and shoes from last year..getting the dress today from the interwebz- http://formalgownsdirect.co.uk/Prom%2006201.htm

Not going in for that hair, make-up really expensive getting someone to the house crap, and not going in a limo either- the bus is so fun!

martymusic

Ur gettin a bus!??..Id well prefer to be gettin a bus down wit all me mates aswell instead of all dis limo s**t...id say d atmosphere on the bus will be deadly...alot less expensive aswell!!..haha

Kidd-o

Oh God, my debs is on next month (yeah we have it early) i still need a date, but i do have the dress!
I am not lookin forward to this at all!!!!

ethernet

Still need to buy a ticket. They went on sale late enough. €50 for a single and already paid desposit.

The venue is only down the road -- I mean walking distance. There will be no splashing out on a limousine here!

*belle*

mine is on really soon too.still have no date or dress.. not really into the limo idea either.. sure all this debs stuff cant be that hard.can it?

JC 2K3

I have no date, and right now that much prospect of getting one...

Feckin rip off too, €85 per ticket...

Sigh....

cson

Uh the debs..... we had ours on thursday, my recollection is a tad hazy but I can say for a fact that the Auburn Lodge Hotel are a shower of bastards.

fionated7

mine is next month, got my tix n dress but thats it.. my lesser half will be in america wiv his mates so off i go to find a date...

not bothered wiv a limo, save the money for alcohol

Mushy

Have only paid for the tickets, but AFAIK, there has been no contact from the people organising it. Its most likely to end up being cancelled. Boo hoo says I</sarcasm>. Ah its all just a load of crap, if it does happen, I'll just bring a friend, then got horribly drunk and never have to remember it.

Rozabeez

Bought tickets months ago, don't really have a date at the moment but there are a few people I can bring. Gotta order dress from online cos all the other dresses are too common (says the girl from Leixlip...) I'm sure I'll find nice shoes, since I work in a shoe shop, hair? Curl it. Make up? Sister will do it. Limo? If people keep nagging me I'll cave.

Corruptedmorals

You work in a shoe shop that doesn't DO high heels. Just get ones from Barratts or something, there are sales on. If you get a limo, you suck, c'mon..bus is just FUN.

Rozabeez

We do high heels, especially around Debs season!! And I'm more of a Cinders gal than a Barrats gal. I'll probably get the limo though.

lemansky

We only got the date for ours there a few weeks ago, and even so its not 'official'-its just that a parent rang up the place where it was rumoured to be on and found this out. We'll only be finding out probably on results day how much the tickets are, when we can buy them etc so its a mess but none the less its still a debs!

Thats said, I'll have a tux, maybe a limo.Who knows.

cson

the debs vet that I am i'm gonna warn you all, especially the girls, for all the trouble that goes into the debs, dresses and all that, you are fortunately/unfortunately never likely to remember what actually happened.

Haven't a Clue

Yeah, once the formalitites of photos and chocolates and meeting auld pairs ****e is over, it's just like another session except with a meal thrown in. Still one of the best nights out I've had though.

:P

kisaragi

Mine are 85 euro too... Cept we paid them in installments throughout the year so it wasn't so bad!

Have a date, just need to rent a tux, buy a corsage etc... not much effort required I think

I went to the debs last year too and it was awesome!! One of the best nights I've had. For anyone worried about getting a date... Just go with your friends! It's so much less hassle! After the first few songs everyone was dancing with everyone else anyway.

So yeah, looking forward to it... Was sooo annoyed though.. My friend asked me to his debs, but then ours were both on at the same time... Grrrr...

So yeah, it's an expensive night out sure! But a brilliant one

gaeilgegrinds

One tip-If you don't have a bf/gf, ask a friend. Way better fun & you won't have to be minding them all night! It is NOT the night to try to get with someone! Enjoy it!

Rozabeez

I was going to take the ex but that'd just be too much hassle now, my friends are all too short to take!

DtotheK

85 euro is bad... but 100 is worse!

I really should work on gettin a date soon!!
(but have til early september..)

Problem I have there is that most of my friends who are girls are in the same school as me, which means if I go with one of them they'll already have a debs ticket and I'll have wasted €85 on an extra one(and chances are they'll have also).

We're in the exact same boat. Tickets for mine were €85 a pop as well and at the moment i'm goin stag. Luckily i have until october to find/kidnap a date.:D

Rozabeez

Post up lonely hearts boards.ie ads.

I picked my date today, and the guy rocks. hooray! Now I need a dress.

Kidd-o

Our tickets were only like €35 but our entire debs commitee (ie. my friends and i) got tickets for free...

Hire out some 'escort' for the nite. Not only will you show everyone else up - "This is Kriciew, my date" but she'll be class for the pictures. And other stuff.

Enemy Of Fate

Well mines exactly 2 weeks from today, and in fairness the tickets were a quite reasonable (especially compared to some of the prices mentioned in this topic!!) €25.But its the limo that ****ing gets ya.Jesus that is a ****ing ripoff.I don't even see what the big deal is, I mean i've been in a limo once before....and its just a long ****ing car!!Whats so great bout that?!??!Ah well.The date wants it......so I was basically forced to get it.But shes paying €40 for it, cause theres no way i'm paying the full €100 for both of us!I need to save money dammit.

Hey Rosary Beads, stfu harassing the new peeps. k?

Selphie

So, like, how much did ye all have to pay in total? Did you only have to pay for tickets? We had to pay 150 in total each, that includes the room, music, tickets and dinner and stuff...
Now to get a dress......

AdMMM

Surely they have friends though that they could set you up with?

genericgoon

Or ask someone from the class below you. Theyd probably be desperate to go and thus would be easy.

Corruptedmorals

OR male friends who have friends-that-are-girls outside the school.


Our tickets are €60 each. Dress was €171..so that's €131 so far, not bad! Nothing else to buy really.

JC 2K3

mmm...

I'll figure something out...

Yarr-Harr

Here in cork the head guy who was supposed to had over the money to silversprings (place were the our grads are takin place) ran off with all the money leaving 19 schools F****d. mine included. Now after everyones paid 160 for a ticket (1 ticket admits 2) were gonna have to pay more. No exact figure yet but roughly expected to be around 80e more. Ill find out monday...:(. Ah well s**t happens as they say.

Other than that alls good. Got tux, girl, not doing the whole limo thing.

genericgoon

sternn

Corruptedmorals

Well obviously- Pavillion! Ours is in the Ardenode Hotel in BallymoreEustace.

Selphie

Yeah, that f***er. Mine's in Rochestown Park hotel :mad: :mad: Already paid €150, I'll be damned if I'm paying anymore!

sternn

Pat Brown is the name of the guy isnt it?

If thats the guy, then he is a debter and owes piles of money to hotels for events he organised.

*belle*

mines in rochestown park too!!!!!
but i heard nothing bout having to pay more. hopefully wont have too.

estebancambias

Ah the debs, much like the Irish mans favourite day of the year, Patricks day. Over-hyped and just plain crap. I refuse to go to mine, way too expensive and too much hassle. Lol at me asking someone to go to the debs, it's just not going to happen.
Well...*awkward silence* everybody enjoy your night out.
