Why, was it first 50 customers get everything half price or something? If not I second the sentiments of 'My Name is URL'.

Delighted IKEA is finally here though, could have done with it 3 years ago when I bought my now negative equity home:(

Couple of people got some €500 vouchers I think .. according to breakingnews.ie anyway. I don't get the big fuss to be honest. How can this opening be related to Garda Traffic Management, M50 construction and what not?

What the hell is so special about this shop?

There were complaints that not many local people got jobs in IKEA, but from what I hear, the interviews were fair and practical. :pac:

All those who were first in queue looked like those who'd only be there to get something free, not cause they could afford it!

The Fuss is that a Typical IKEA opening is usually tied in with unprecedented amounts of free givaways.

There was an opening in Orlando or somewheres a few years ago where they were just giving away whole sets of furniture to the first 100 people in line or something else insane like that.

So yeah, the **** got crazy.

Sure for $150, Id probably kill an hour or two myself.

gotta be ****ing madness down there though. *shudder*

Having listened to the manager of Ikea harp on today about how ikea doesnt charge for parking and its something they may appeal about down the line. (Part of them being approved planning permission have to charge for parking during certain hours) How would I go about formally asking them seeing as how its "such an incovience" to them to donate all the money to charity?
