Aisling(",)

Daysha

Aisling(",)

Gavin "shels"

I know a few schools booked aswell, my own year we just got a committee going. Only going to be 40 odd at ours as only 20 odd in own year going (26 in the year).

PurpleFistMixer

Jesus, I haven't even HAD my debs yet. Better to get it sorted early I suppose, there were people chasing people for money up until the exams in my year... Still. Jaysus. Year away, like.

Its just a night out, using the excuse of it being pre debs, itll be good craic but expensive too i'd say :S

Still think the HSS idea is the best thing ive heard in a long time.

Piste

Ours is only 25 quid per person, and I tink that gives you three tickets- not bad!

Fringe

We've got a tuck shop now in our common room with the money going towards paying for the Debs. We're also having some other things to raise money. Still haven't planned where we're going yet but at least it won't cost as much

marshmallow

We have date & place sorted for predebs
We have place sorted for debs but no date yet.

irishmonkey

We've already gotten everything done and dusted.
Place booked, taking the deposits now.
Only 70 for one ticket.
And the hotel arranges everthing! Very fricken handy!

Predebs is during Easter break me thinks.

leprehaungirl

My debs tickets are so expensive! the two teachers who organise it came into us the other day and was lik its 190 for the 2 tics !! i was like aaahhh more money to scab off the rents. Ours is in Dunboyne Castle its a five * ..i dont know why there bothering were not even going to remember it :rolleyes: Spose it will be nice for pictures and that!

insinkerator

Our school hadnt even begun to think about our debs at this stage..... our comitte wasnt made for about another month this time last year

Dj Stiggie

We don't have a pre-debs, but we have a similar thing for our grads, except its fancy dress As for our debs, we don't have a committee yet. We don't vote on it either, we just put our names down if we want to be on it. There's only 60 in our year so it'll be small enough too

Fad

Our predebs is on its way to being planned, however there's talk of €40 a ticket (that admits 3 people though) which is kinda outrageous.

€40 for the predebs though, i dont want to know how expensive the real thing will be

Weird that teachers are organising it. Usually schools have no involvement with it, and leave it up to the students themselves to organise.

booking our limo tonight paying the deposit during the week.
cant wait!

Jaysus, my debs is on Monday and I only booked the limo two weeks ago

Aisling(",)

were getting stuff out of the way.
so much money involved this year

timmywex

jaysus, unbelievable some schools have it sorted already, we havnt even been bothered setting up anyone to organise it......well prepared we are!

jackie4web

We hired a limo for our Debs two months ago with only a months notice. It was a big Chrysler but not a stretch limo it was some car. The people we hired it from made the whole experience so special. The guys name was Andy and we booked it in Tipperary Town. I think Limo hire service but not sure. My sister has already booked from the same guy and her debs is not till next year. but she did not want to be dissapointed. I have the number if anyone needs it you can pm me.

Fad

Still havent heard anything about Debs yet not nessecarily a bad thing.

No news is good news.



We did however get measured for graduation rings

Gavin "shels"

We mightn't be having a Debs as people are pulling out left, right and centre. Think there's 15 definites from my year only.:mad:

They are trying to plan it but lets be honest it will fail and its going to be expensive if it really does go ahead, So hopefully none of my friends invite me ha

marshmallow

got place, date & deposits in now!

SarcasticFairy

We have our place & date sorted. Spent 5 weeks trying to collect deposits! Seriously, 5 weeks, and a whole heap of drama (people didn't want to pay the people collecting the money, wanted to pay someone else ) for €20 for two tickets. Can only imagine the trouble they'll have collecting the rest :rolleyes:

Kind of a bit meh about the whole thing. My friend has been talking about her debs since I met her (in first year). Tbh, if I didn't go, it really wouldn't bother me... Kind of was planning a trip to London around the time of the debs (just before starting college) but I've paid a deposit now soooo I do't think it'd work, time-wise. Prefer London really, but my friend is on the committee and I felt bad for her...

lilmissprincess

Thats mad, this early...

Our debs is organised by the Parents Council, apparently hotels dont trust students....
We get some input but nothing has been heard yet!!!

PurpleFistMixer

God, my school didn't want to have anything to do with our debs. Wouldn't even let us have a reception in the school beforehand. And the girls on the committee were looking for money off people right up until the exams, which I'm sure was a nightmare for them.

LivingDeadGirl

Ours is all sorted, we're having it in Rochestown Park Hotel in Cork. The food is meant to be terrible, but I hear the meal is always rubbish?
Found my dress, hope it's still there after xmas, my mom wouldn't buy it full price

Piste

Last aI heard deposit for the hotel had to be in by January. It's going to cos €20,000 for the night, and that's just the hotel >.<

Aisling(",)

paying 100 off mine tomorow means ive only 30 left:)

timmywex

Ours is sorted! :D

Getting a hotel in town(wexford), for the night, 70 euro for 2 tickets, not bad, live band and dj included, then we are organising a private partay for after it, renting a place afterwards and afterwards, buying drink before hand so we can drink all night! Hotel are supplying the drink at the price they buy it in at! So thats another few euro each, but its a fairly good cost over all......

and the best part.....

we did a deal

all 140 in the year get 4 free pass' to the best/biggest nightclub in wexford
and organisation of taxis when/if we want to go home(garanteed taxi, dont know how they'll do it)
and discounted rate if anyone wants to rent rooms, think they are closing off most of the hotel for the night for us anyway

PLUs, the grad committee get;
Free tux.
years tickets to above nightclub
4tickets each to anything in the hotel for a year, stephens' day/new years etc
free rooms
free taxis


It must be said that the hotel and nightclub are owned by the same person, so the hotle becomes the nightclub for events like new years etc!

Fairly sweet deal!

Aisling(",)

Thats savage!!!

PurpleFistMixer

That is an epic deal.

Fad

Sounds like an amazing deal, but i'd imagine it comes with a catch of some sort, do you still have both your kidneys? or your spleen?

Or worse yet! you must have some sort of responsibilty!

XboxHero

Our tickets are €70 which includes:

2 free drinks
4 course meal
Room in the hotel
Bus into the city afterwards & Back to the hotel
Photographer.

We must rent our own Tuxedo's.. Hopefully it's not too much..:rolleyes: We have everything booked though so it's the job:cool: And we're arriving in a strectch Chrysler Limo with an open bar and complimentary champagne;) It holds 8 of us but the 4 lads are paying €120 each and that covers it:D Plus we all have gf's so... It may be early but better to be organised now, then we can focus on the LC Hol in Jan during the sales and heavy study till June;)

Piste

Oh God, found out today our Debs is going to cos €300 for two tickets :eek:

challengemaster

I don't really care for the debs tbh, It's big waste of money and besides I could easily get pissed with some friends for a lot less. Only reason why i'm is the peer-pressure and all that. Now, where will I find a date to this thing

Right there with ya...

bythewoods

Woah, reading through this thread some of your debs cost waaaaaaay too much.
The tickets for mine were eh, €70 last year. For two.
Including everything from a "champagne" reception (possibly not champagne, it tasted a bit funny), 3 course meal, band, etc etc.

They're a bit over rated tbh. Saying that, they are quite a laugh! Ended up going to 4 different debs last year ( + four different dresses :P)
My advice to any girls (or guys who're into that kinda thing) is to buy your dress now, as they're cheaper. And chances are, you're going to wear it once.

As far as this years debs go, I don't know. I don't particularly care. Meh meh meh.

Save ya the bother of asking.
I'll go.

And by the way guys, that red limo with flames down the side of it. Looks great, but the the guy who drives it, and the whole limo company are a bunch of knackers. Avoid!
