    The only way is to go down to the Ents office and ask there. I've always found that the shops know little or nothing about most events unless they actually have some tickets there at the time

    I got the last 2 in the student bar. Friend of mine asked in the SU shop who didnt have any and in The Kiosk who said they will be on sale at Boys Noize.

    Yeah a seriously good night.

    I was having the time of my life and then he played a version of The Streets' Blinded By The Lights, that just took it to a new level for me. Unreal.

    Boys Noize killed it, roll on Deadmau5!

    Yeah it's not a song you'd expect him to play but it went down an absolute treat!

    If Deadmau5 is half as good as that night I'll be happy.

    Does anyone know how I can get tickets to Deadmau5 in The Acadamy on the 16th?
    I'm not sure if they're sold out or not but I can't buy any on ticketmaster.

    As far as I know it's sold out, which is a pity.

    I'm all for dance music in the student bar, but a lot of the younger people at it just don't get the dance vibe at all. Moshing is not what dance is about, nor is falling around legless drunk.

    Both of which are fun to do from time to time, just not at dance gigs.

    I have to say i agree. Some people dont know what to do, i was at Boys Noize and spent half of my time picking people up off the ground who were about to be trampled. If you ever see Tiesto or Markus Shultz' videos, you see packed arenas of tens of thousands of people, all packed in together but all having room to breathe, they dont Mosh, they go mental but they dont jump into other people.

    Sometimes though, the bass takes over and what happens is out of our control. :)

    What's the story with the emphasis on electro music from ents? Felix da Housecat, Boys Noize and Deadmau5 are 3 fairly big names from the whole dance scene, but for other types of music the biggest Ents seem to get are the likes of Republic of Loose and the poxy Coronas. I'm not giving out, cos I do like some dance music but for someone who doesn't like it, it must be very frustrating for them going to gigs in belfield ( sure one of the first replies in this thread was who exactly were these djs). It's been the same for the past few years with the likes of Digitalism, Booka Shade and Justice playing, but what other big names (apart from dance artists) do Ents seem to book?

    I think its because of the difficulty involved in securing top acts. Can hardly get Kings Of Leon, Taylor Swift or Kanye West to come to UCD student bar.

    All these top DJ's are in Ireland for other concerts, and they clearly see the UCD Student bar as a nice little gig that wouldnt be too much to ask. eg. Deadmau5, do UCD untill 12 then onto The Academy, Boys Noize UCD Thursday then Academy on Friday.

    Exactly what Mikeyt said above.

    In addition to this, most "pop" acts would cost considerably more than electronic acts, due to electronic acts still being quite a niche offering even though they have become more popular in the last few years

    Jev is right on the button; even though these guys are top of thier genre, they cost significantly less than "pop" acts at the top of their genre, often to a factor of 10 or even far more.

    It is also the nature of dance acts that they play far more gigs and tour far more consistantly than many non-dance acts.

    Dance acts are far more portable, meaning they dont need huge rigs on stage (Yes, Justice do use a massive rig, but it's mostly superfluous gear that they can do without) so a tiny student venue isnt going to be much of a problem.

    Getting a Dance act means they might be able to turn a profit on one show and put the money into booking another show that could make a loss on the night but in the end not loose them any money. (They'll be a while getting the money back for Fatman Scoop though.......).

    I bought 3 Deadmau5 tickets on the UCDents.com website this morning. Everything seems to have worked, now I just have to pick the tickets up from the Student Union. Didnt get much in the way of a receipt, just a card transaction confirmation.

    Anyone else buy tickets from UCDents.com??

    last year bought tickets online for vitalic and they sent them out the week before... but for digitalism it was a complete joke, we just had to bring along the printed confirmation and hand it in the barricade gate for them to look at before they gave us tickets...and i had 2 seperate bookings and they weren't going to give me two tickets...went on for about an hour! complete joke so i'd call into ents office next week and get it sorted there!

    well it says hes in the academy at 11 but they usually dont come on til about 12...but he'd definitly play there before 1. the place closes at 2.30. people arent gonna pay near 30 euro to see him for 1.5 hours! he'll prob do half 9 to 11 in ucd or 10-1130!
