Freshers' Ball

shay_562 · 24-09-2009 10:32pm #1

Apparently this is happening Tuesday 6th October? I'm trying to find out how to get tickets (my friend heard a band she likes is playing in it and she's desperate to go) but the ENTs website is unsurprisingly **** and I can't find any mention of anything much past Freshers' Fest. Anyone get any mailout information about it, or know any details? Like where it's on, when tickets are on sale, how much they are etc...?

The SU Shop used to sell tickets. Try there. Ask to speak to patrick (head honcho)

timmywex · 24-09-2009 10:49pm

Fight like apes and thinchy strider are playing i think

Its the 13th of october, was talking to mick from ents yesterday, ill ask him the ticket situation when im talking to him next....

Mark200 · 25-09-2009 1:08pm

Oh.. I was under the impression that the thing in 21s on Wednesday night was the Freshers' Ball for some reason.

Basically the UCD freshers ball? But with the line up hopefully remaining as intended?

Actually so was I....what a waste of money and a night that was. Do you'ze reckon Tinchy Strider will actually show up for this? Did he give any reason as to why he pulled out of the ucd one? I was pissed off even though I don't particularly like him.

€20. No mention of venue or date strangely enough. As if this info was already widely know.:rolleyes:

zuchum · 28-09-2009 12:56pm

On in The Academy, can't miss the flyers in college today.

Jools King are quality, if you're going, I reccomend you check them out.

And i'm honestly not a shill.

Is this a full formal, black-tie, bring date and all event or a more casual one?

casual

Ball is a bit of a misnomer. It's just a regular night out with a couple of bands and it's more expensive.

Enjoy.

SligoBrewer · 19-10-2009 7:12pm

So true...I wish I had my €20 back

Literally no chance of selling it on anyway :rolleyes:

In my defence, I would have been the only one in my apartment not going had I not bought a ticket...I'm sure it'll be fun though...I hope so

Ah it shud be good craic I mean u make ur own fun on a night out the music isn't THAT important really

phlegms · 19-10-2009 11:53pm

Doesnt seem to be much "buzz" going on around this from what I can tell.
It was only mentioned once amongst my group of friends and I havent heard many people talking about it generally..

Aldito · 20-10-2009 9:49am

Yeah I only know a few people goin' to it. I know doors open at 10, but what time will the first act be on at? surely they won't start at 10.

p1akuw47h5r3it · 21-10-2009 10:37pm

aine-maire · 21-10-2009 10:40pm

I may have photographed you (nope, I'm not a stalker - but the photographer with the law soc t-shirt on last night). My equipment managed to survive the beer anyway thankfully.

I'll be putting up the photos of the night up soon on my site (which is then looked at by the SU) - here are some small samples to whet your appetite (downsized and otherwise unprocessed).

Hope you guys had fun. It was an interesting gig to shoot.

And as for the Freshers - seeing all those young faces make me feel quite old now

rhapsody! · 23-10-2009 12:39am

I didn't think it was great; basically kept getting whacked or trampled by annoying drunk screaming fans.. the bouncer's face was priceless at all the insane fans. Was quite funny.

Dante · 23-10-2009 1:15am

Lost my iPod, my wallet with €200 in it, gave a taxi driver €50 instead of €10 due to drunkeness, got crowd surfed out of the yoke and as a result got thrown out by a príck of a bouncer and missed most of Tinchy, ended up sprawled out on the gound outside the club balling my eyes out like a little bítch while barely conscious and woke up with blood all over my hand and two swolen knuckles.........quite an eventful night I had.

I see now why you're so good at making friends - your devastating empathy.

It's tough to empathise with such idiocy

Sorry Dan

I always thought it was a bit of a made-up word similar to irregardless but I think I am mistaken

I wouldn't have thought it was a word either but according to dictionary.com it is an adverb... Link

Google just brings up regardless as the word. Link

What a doozy!
