Heard this on 2fm yesterday, I think Rick O'Shea was talking to the guy who set it up. Actually, just noticed its on his blog too.

http://spermfortickets.com/

Can't figure out if its real or fake...

I'm looking to go the Electric Picnic or one of the other big summer festivals and was thinking it might be a good backup if miss out on ticketmaster etc.

Its run by a lad from DCU. Im pretty sure its a psychological study of some sort.

I suppose it could have its benefits since fertility clinics are in crisis

Being female I dont have the necessary donation requirements...but this is a great idea!

I'm sure there's plenty of guys out there who would give their other ticket to a lady who would be willing to help him make his donation.

URGENT UPDATE:
From the website:

The purpose of this website was to test market interest through a pilot scheme.
Applications for donation packs have far exceed the expectations.
Our clients are calling a halt to the invitation to apply for packs,
and will review the results of the scheme to decide on how to proceed.

All submissions sent to the website are fully protected under Irish privacy regulations,
and will not be released to ANY third party.

If the clinic decide to proceed with the mail system after examining the results of the pilot scheme,
all people who applied for donation packs will be contacted.

Thank you for your patience and interest.

Are you people thick? Read the site and think about it. They send you a sperm collection pack in the post. Sperm dies within 2 hours unless it's cooled to a temperature below what would be possible in a home fridge. And besides, it would thaw out and die in the post even if you could freeze it in your home freezer.

It said somewhere on the site, or at least it used to, that they had some special storage device for the sperm so that it could survice for a few days while being sent through the post.

It was a fake. The guy who registered the website was also involved in the Global Fest website which they link to.

Publicity stunt. That is all.
