Arts Ball Poster

irish.rugby.fan

Has anyone seen the Arts Ball poster.

Down the bottom they have a comparison of the Arts Ball against the Commball.

Extremely petty since the CommBall has pasted and its not like they are competing against them.

Think the Arts Ball is €5-€10 cheaper, and fair enough the Coronas are better than Leman.

But Arts Soc obviously forgot to factor in the following to their poster:

1) You have to put up with the sh1t hole that is the Pavillion instead of the Mansion House.

2) you basically get strip searched for drink on the way into the Pavillion which didnt happen at the Mansion house.

3) The caters at Leopardstown are Masterchef which generally means soggy ceaser salad and rubber chicken, as opposed to a crab and smoked salmon started and proper piece of beef, which you get with "With Taste" at the Mansion House.

4) and it is nigh impossible to ever get taxis from the Pavillion and is a terrible location for anyone who doesnt live southside.

Just showing both sides of the coin.

Fair points.

Maybe someone from the CommBall organising could do a press release and send it to the Observer and Tribune?

My advice is to settle this like reasonable men...

Handbags at dawn outside the engineering building! (equidistant between Newman and Quinn)

Id say Arts Soc could totally take C&E. Its a fair enough idea. They are cheaper and thats that. Wont get much sympathy id say as I hear C&E have ruffled some feathers in the society circles this year.

Lol, they prob would!

But in fairness a "Speed" 10 mega pixel digital camera is cheaper than a Cannon 10 mega pixel digital camera, but they are far from the same quality, so your argument of, "Its a fair enough idea. They are cheaper and thats that" doesnt really hold here.

And yet "Speed's" Advertising will say
10 MEGAPIXEL!! WOW!!!
CHEAPER THAN CANON!!! WOW!!!
or something to that effect.

You can't but expect The Arts crew to try advertise as effectively as they can to get the crowds in.

Students just wana get ****ed drunk and say they went to a ball. Wether its in the mansion house or leopardstown is irrelevant. The cost to a student isnt. I'd certainly hit the arts ball before the C&E anyway. I mean all the bands are ****e so it dosnt really matter, once there is a good smoking section

Then you clearly dont understand the market for the Comm Ball
