Summer Ball Ticket prices

GavMan

€17.50(or €22.50 for non members) a pop...loada me gash

Will

Will not be bothered going. Rather go to some other place and keep the €20 or so for drinks or a taxi home.

cognos

includes bbq

still a bit pricey for me though considering the intra paychecks have yet to start rolling in!

c0rk3r

How much were the tickets last year ? €20 doesnt seem too much to me. See it as an investment for your memories.

df1985

think it was 15.it was class last yr. see how the student unon are tryin to fill the hub earlier with the bbq nonsense.not gonna happen! guarantee at 11 0 clock a queue of hundreds ****faced outside.

StickyMcGinty

17.50 is still cheap, 22.50 for non-menbers is also pretty good (considering bar membership is €13)

if you wanna go see anything in Tripod you'll be forking out €25 - €35 for the pleasure. less of yer moanin

yeah but who are we paying to see? we're being asked to pay €18 and haven't been told who's playing. I'd say the act will be ****e, i am going though, should be a laugh

Last time i went (which is bout 3 years in all fairness), the BBQ was there, but I'm pretty sure you were paying for the food in there

I don't think we had to pay, and it was like €7 for a ticket, plus a mate would be the same price. There was sand too.

This is rubbish.

gamblitis

Its a complete rip off! Standing by its reputation anyway thats for sure!Won't be going and tbh i only know a handful who will. Shame really.

rugbug86

You didn't have to pay. There was a free BBQ early in the night, and then the external company who used to sell grub in the old bar were selling chips and burgers and stuff at the end of the night which you did have to pay for. But every year since 0405 there's been a BBQ and sand.

I thought it was going to be a flop tbh, but there's only 400 tickets left and thats going on ticket numbers, not the usual "nearly sold out" speil.

:|

was there a bbq and sand last year?

And I think people like the idea of a chilled out evening/night, maybe thats why its selling so well?

Perhaps they'd be better off dropping this "international act" farce and lowering the price of tickets. Unless it's the sawdoctors........

rugbug86

No there's a good few acts, I was talking to Shea yesterday. Should be a good night

Yeah, I think there was a BBQ last year. They're always early cos theres only ever food for like 100 people or something. But apparently not this year, Gary said there's food for all!

Ste.phen

I heard Dario G? any truth to that?

Amz

Igy, they've alredy told us Dario G is/are playing, but it's the "headline" act they're keeping a sekrit.

gamblitis

Why would they bother keeping it a secret?If they actually told people might they not have a better chance of selling more tickets?

:|

only reason I can think of is that it's someone sh1te. Hopefully not, I think it sounds great except for the "secret act"

baker59

I'm going as it'll be my last DCU social night but to be honest, I'd prefer to pay €7 (or whatever) and not see Dario G, Vengaboys, East17 or whatever washed up act they have lined up for us. Just some DJ playing good songs (and not the hip hop **** that is typical for the new bar)

€18 plus about €4 a drink?
There will be alot of pre drinking before it while watching football.

I sound like miserable prick now but I will be up for a good night and hopefully the weather matches the nights theme.

baker59

By the way, how late is a late bar extension in DCU??

:|

usually half one/two

df1985

on life.dcu.ie everyone says its republic of loose-why in gods name theyd keep that a secret i dont know.it better be someone bloody good.remember a few yrs back when it was 7 euro and then a tenner a yr after? those were the days. there excuse is there payin for sand and the bbq.we had sand and bbqs in previous yrs and i didnt cost 17.50 and 22.50 to bring a mate! i know im gonna end up bolloxed, fall home and have a class night, but its still a ripoff.what student can afford to drink in the hub from 6 o clock?? the plave will be dead until after the champs league at least!

My sentiments exactly.

I'm going because it's my last one. I wouldn't miss it for the world. BUT I do think it's a bit expensive.

Can't wait though. Pre-drinkies. Yeay!

Oh and everyone is gonna miss the BBQ cos of predrinks. They should do the BBQ at the end when everyone has the munchies!!

Can i have a job where you work? I could only imagine the money for full time work!

And Republic of Loose.Seriously why can't they have any decent bands at these things.I don't think they are gonna do any good for the numbers tbh.

For a moment i thought i saw Dj rush. Now that would be something. Not to be though. How many tickets are left for sale ? They should reduce the cost to €10 on wednesday morning to clear any remaining tickets.

rugbug86

Think it's sold out/close to sold out.

Yes the bands could have been better, Yes it could have been cheaper, but Yes, I will have an epic night because it's my last one ever.

Yeah, a student that works at least 1 day a week... As a doctor.

Will

With big names like DJ Brian and DJ Red who could resist :pac:

Amz

I know Will, it's difficult, but I think I'll manage.

Wow Four Euro Tuesday!

mehfesto2

Hang about...

Chesney Hawkes... ...911...

...Why this is splendiferous! My time-machine, she-a works!

nicardgr

is this €4 tuesday real or one of those rumours?

was talking to the manager in the slipper (ken) and i know he's organising some deals for tomorrow night, he's meant to be texting them to me and then i'll put them up.

gamblitis

Can't believe they sold out already!Seriously how desperate are students for a late bar?Coz it ain't the bands they're wanna see!! Who has ever heard of half those acts before?

Amz

Anyone born before 1984.

Will

Ignoring my previous gripe and whine, i do hope it goes well. I just amn't bothered, lost hope with DCU events.

justbringit89

anyone selling tickets to this ??? all sold out , hoping to get one frm someone whos is having 2nd thoughts!!

Will

So how was it? people have fun?

:|

Most definitely. I didn't actually see 911 or dario g but had a great night regardless. It was well organised

rugbug86

I met 911. They're tiny.

I think the word of the night is EPIC!

baker59

The Tuberty band were very good.
Did some great covers.
Didnt see Dario G, 911 and the other guy and had a great night.
