    It would have sold out the bar anyway. Better than that Cheese-fest nonsense.

    Not sure they would anymore.

    Also, apparently they've upped their prices considerably lately, like to the point where they're shockingly expensive for a band that have one song about going on a J1 once....

    Where they sleep all day and drink all night and in between write **** songs before rinsing and repeating.

    Bastards.

    Don't know anything about how much they would cost, but they would have more than one song and I know plenty of people who'd be willing to pay into that as opposed to some shíte cover band or group who split up ten years ago.

    its a pretty horrible line up in terms of the music, it probably caters to the taste of some students, but anyone with a semblance of taste should look elsewhere

    Kind of line up to expect from them unfortunately

    The coronas would make it worse, horrible bottom of the barrell rubbish, and one wonders how theyre popular. There are far better, creative and arder working bands going

    Must say im very dissapointed (but not surprised) with the line up. I've heard far better musicians in the music soc than some of the over-hyped crap they get for the Balls

    I'm very late in responding but non-UCD students can attend but they need a UCD student to buy their ticket AFAIK.

    Anyone know how the ticket sales have gone? Read the notice on the building doors; the whole campus is shut - buildings, all gates from 13.00. Take it all lectures & tutorials are off too.

    The SU site gives the start time 15.00, no end time but I'd guess something around 22.00 or 23.00. Is it just me or does everything around the ball seem "quieter" this year :shifty: ? Mind maybe its just because there hasnt been a massive balls up this year

    I *think* it finishes up at 11. However every year I've been at it in the past I haven't been up much of a state to deal with what time it was.

    Yeah it says on the ticket it finishes at 11.

    Anyone know if they'll have those free shuttle buses into town when it finishes like the have in the past? I can't imagine normal Dublin Bus services will be stopping anywhere near UCD, and that amount of people trying to get taxis would be madness.

    Yup, standard ball attire, you'd look pretty weird otherwise!

    Yep, I know a few lads refused last year because they just wore shirts, shoes and jeans.
