The fireworks looked well, from what I could see of them from my bedroom! I didn't go in tonight as I didn't want the baby out in this weather.

Parade just passing thru....poor rosebuds got saturated

with the reports of yellow and orange alerts it probably shouldn't have gone ahead imo

Soap box race and Tenacity dance routine all cancelled this eve.
On a brighter note, Fidget Feet did a Fairy Trail thru the green today and are doing another at 4... well worth it for kids

It should be completely transparent, .....but it isn't and I wonder why

Because with the ****e acts they've brought in on top of charging 15 euro to see what used to be free street entertainment, it's obvious that some people are getting a lot of money in their back pocket.

Shouldn't the businesses who sponsor every year be entitled to see those accounts?

I would love to see the accounts for the festival.
Sponsorship, outgoings, wages, backhanders, street entertainment etc

I remember many years ago, paying acts appeared in the Dome during the festival and everything on the street was free.
What was wrong with this?

Well there are issues with access to the bar...I wasn't allowed thru, hillbilly's is completely cut off and as you see from my pic you can watch unhindered from No4....and that will remain the case thru the festival

A lot of people giving out about access to various businesses in the square in the evening & that security asked some customers to leave a bar to be told by management no. They are apparently trying to charge the full ticket price & someone put up a post on the Rose of Tralee Facebook page complaining with a photo of big barriers outside an cearnog blocking any vision to the stage. Loads of complaints following that post! Including a manager from Hillbillys who said its killing them!

I was there also last night , great gig nice to have it seated under the canopy in such horrible weather.

I can't see the issue with the screens to be honest ??

Yes they are blocking the view of customers to the stage but these people didn't purchase tickets??? Naturally they shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the entertainment?? Why should I pay and they not??

I had a drink in the cearnog after and I was told that they received special wrist bands that allowed there regulars access to the bar???

I was out last night and it is an absolute fckin farce!!
Hillbilly's is deserted because you're not left inside the barrier . I really, really hope they sue the Rose festival for loss of earnings.... Possibly the biggest week of the year and they've been screwed
An Cearnóg is screened off.....but....you can go to no 4 the square, have a pint and watch the shows!!
Took this 1 pic to illustrate from the smoking area

I hear there was a right brawl in the square last night. Town was also packed with Leaving Cert lads falling around the place.

I'd say that happened in every town in Ireland last night:rolleyes:

Ongoing story with many false starts, but it seems that it may be in American hands quite soon

Is it still unionised? I'd imagine nobody would touch it with a barge pole if it was.

Took my small fella to the aquadome at the weekend . I can't believe they're still asking 15 per adult for that place and 12 for over 3s. Was only there for an hour too and he wanted to go

Won't be back ant time soon ðŸ˜

Rumours abound of a block booking for 1000-1200 tickets by a certain organisation....I think it's just a bit of pre-festival hysteria

I heard from a very reliable source in the town that a lot of the Russian roses are drugged up, AND that the judges are being paid off..

Not sure how accurate that is, but it's what I heard :rolleyes: :pac:

It's unlikely the power will be off from 9am-6pm. They specify that time just to ensure no one is depending on supply during those hours, and if something goes wrong during the actual time they need to use they have time to spare.

monkeysnapper

A few years ago during bad storm we lost power for over 24hrs and I kept freezer shut . no problem at all .

Icecream at top was a little soft so we had to eat the whole lot which sucked .

I doubt lecy will be off for that full time .

Edit ... What Felix said above... Good point
