Terrible Joe..........

Last Friday night, club-goers were told they could exchange their underwear for a free drink.

I mean jaysus, what next?

Promoters said the nightclub can expect more "innovative and exciting" promotions in the weeks ahead

Would you give up your kaks for a free Bicardi Breezer? :pac:

Coriolanus

Nice, can I wear in five or six pairs over each other? I'm a fella, but for a bit of booze I'll wear a couple of thongs.

Ah Tramco. What a ****hole.

Doubt anyone would want my skidmarked jocks anyway.

Red Hand

Would they accept the most crustily layered pair of chlamydia soaked knickers possible...that actually crawl to the barman due to the amount of lice in them?

I'd crawl through a mile of sh!t covered broken glass for just one sip of sweet sweet liquor. I am over 2 weeks without one and have a week to go.

Jebus... When my daughter's older, I'm not letting her out of the house!

Also, if you were wearing nice underwear - you wouldn't want to give them away for a crappy drink surely?
And if they were awful yolks, you'd be too embarrassed handing over your tesco finest.
I'd just pay the few euro for the drink.
Or sneak in a naggin in my bag.

Seems like they dispense extra for dry liverish sour skids.

They are your kind aren't they?

No fresh stuff.

MagicSean

Chuck Stone

Buy a load of cheap pants.
Wear about 20 pairs.
Exchange cheap pants for expensive booze.

Profit!

Didn't think young'uns wore knickers in there.

Personally I wouldn't like to be served or handed a drink by a barman who's just after handling someone's dirty jocks no matter how frilly or fancy they were.

Gawd
All of a sudden I am all for this promotion.

If someone wants to hand over their knickers for a drink, so what, the world will carry on.

Kevin Duffy

A club full of drunk people some of whom have publicly de-bagged in return for the oppertunity of getting more drunk. What could possibly go wrong??

ConmanTheKiller

This will make a visit to pennies essential for a cheap weekend of boozing

Where To

I've been offering to buy the ladies two drinks for their knickers for years . . . . :mad:

Logical Fallacy

Kind of scary given Tramco tend to have a pretty loose policy around the legal drinking age.

Greentopia

I'm confused...is it only female undies that can be presented for said free drink or can men give their boxers or y-fronts (eew..) too?
If it's only women's knicks then the Rape Crisis Center is right-it's sexist and explotitive BS.
Actually a campaign that encourages women OR men to do this is an exploititive, cheap, tacky, lowest common denominator publicity stunt anyway.

God things must be bad for the club owners if they have to resort to crap like this to pull in the punters :eek: :rolleyes:

It's not funny if you explain it. Well done on ruining the joke.

LeeHoffmann

sure you could probably get a few nights out paid for if ya sold them on the internetz (women at least, not sure about the men). When I was waitressing in Germany, I worked with a girl who sold her undies on the net when she was short on cash. I thought she was joking at first (I was all young and innocent at the time :pac:)

dirtypanties

That promotion was made for me!:D

Nothing to do with the fact their minors and the promotion would end up with the owner in jail?

No joke indeed. Don't know if I can link them here so I won't but there are a few websites out there where any woman could join and you post your profile and pics of yourself wearing undies and then any guys interested in buying them get in contact with you and the transaction takes place.

I know a few knitters online on Ravelry.com (none of them Irish naturally ) who made a few quid for themselves by doing so.
Fair play to them if they can do it I say. I have no moral qualms about it, and would have no problem doing it if I really needed the money but there is a bit of an ick factor though of selling your used panties to a complete stranger online.

Not such a great idea after all

A DUBLIN nightclub has been allowed to keep its late licence after management gave an undertaking it would not again allow what was referred to in court yesterday as a “knickers for liquor” promotion at the venue.

Midnight Promoters launched the controversial concept at Tramco nightclub in Rathmines on September 3rd last, where revellers were told they could swap their underwear for a free drink.

Gardaí in Rathmines lodged an objection to Tramco’s late licence last week and the case resumed at Dublin District Civil Court yesterday. Constance Cassidy SC, for Tramco, told Judge Mary Collins there had been extensive discussions between the venue’s management and the superintendent at Rathmines Garda station. Management had also agreed the premises would remain closed last weekend.

Gardaí would withdraw their objections to the nightclub’s late licence subject to undertakings being given, the court heard.

Tom Kavanagh, the receiver appointed to Tramco, agreed with Ms Cassidy the “knickers for liquor” promotion was regretted.

The management accepted the event was wholly “inappropriate, undesirable and demeaning”. They acknowledged gardaí in Rathmines then had no option but to object to Tramco late licences.

The court heard the nightclub’s management abhorred the conduct of this promotion, and Mr Kavanagh confirmed in evidence he had not been aware of it.

He confirmed the promoter had been removed. An undertaking was given that no similar events would be run there. Tramco confirmed it would supply details of all future promotions to gardaí.

Judge Collins granted Tramco the special exemptions order allowing the nightclub to operate a late licence.

Bank of Ireland appointed a receiver to Tramco in June 2010.

My brother works there, the staff went mad about it. Management told them if there was any press there, they were to be sent upstairs to talk to the promoters. The underwear wasn't to be handed in at the bar, it was at the DJ booth where they got a token, then a free shot of Micky Finns from one of the promo staff.

He also said everyone was arriving with spare knickers etc, a few girls told him they'd bought 5 packs for €2. He said he didn't see anyone actually take a pair off.

This is disgusting! It's an outrage! I, for one, shall never frequent the club that would entertain such a shady, misogynistic promotion. Which club is it? I want to ensure my wallet never again passes through their doors!

Wait, it's TramCo? Nevermind, I wouldn't have gone near the place anyway. Sure you'd nearly catch something just walking past the kip.
