    Beatsie...bumping leads to your post being bumped off!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,585 ✭✭✭honru


    Well I missed this the first time round so I'm not complaining.

    No Beatsie there isn't ... but MCD have been operating these competitions for months now...why the sudden interest? :-)


  • Registered Users Posts: 197 ✭✭violenza


    I remember hearing somewhere that Phantom offer very competitive advertising rates. If your so keen Beatsie why don't you drop them a line, I'm sure they'd be delighted to hear from you, I doubt MCD would complain either:-)

    BTW this has been an external observation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 91 ✭✭beatsie


    Yeah some of them have been around for a few
    weeks alright BrianD.


    But its the first time i posted them on this MB.

    The reason is, is that there are a lot of smaller gigs going on that people might not hear about, and this board attracts people that know more ,and might be more interested about certain types music & gigs than your average Joseph Soap.

    I think some olympia stuff is advertised on Phantom already violenza, but i dont have anything to do with decisons about that kind of thing.


    Heres some new ones just added

    Willis at the Sugar Club on 15th of Dec

    Matchbook Romance & Jackson at The Hub on the 19th of Jan

    I won tickets for a gig on Saturday night, they e-mailed me at 10:30 on the Friday night. I only check my mail at work, so no good. What's the point in having a competition if you make it difficult for the winner to find out they won.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 91 ✭✭beatsie


    So your complaining that you won a competition?

    some people.

    Heres a handy tip, next time give an email address that you can check all the time,.

    What gig was it and whats your email address so i can check?

    I like this thread, i just won 2 tickets to my ruin because of it, bumpy bumpy!

    (though as someone else said, they leave the notice a bit short, i probably wont be able to cancel my other plans and actually GO to the gig!)
