Charity Week 2013

Launch video just posted on ULSU Ents page:

Good to see UL Fest making a return. Thought that was a great idea last year. And 2ManyDj's are epic.

The joke video had a better line up
The worst charity week I have seen. The main event can by slamming your face into brick wall until you pass out. As for the nearly naked mile do they have some sort of licence to do this as there is a lot of kids on campus. I wonder if it would break the euro per student mark that just seems unreachable.

The "Line-Up" hasn't really been announced yet, so I think that's a bit harsh. The main acts are being announced next week.

I just tell the Ents crew to get lost and walk on.

I thought it was pretty good that they got a hold of 2manydjs after the likes of the previous acts they had last year. Apart from that though it seems like a carbon copy of last year in terms of events and not much emphasis on the Charity part.

When're tickets on sale? Would love to see 2manydjs, but far too old for the Rag Week business so don't want to have to queue for all tickets!

That's very knobish behaviour to be perfectly honest. They're there to do a job and could do without grief like that.

When they let there pals through without looking at them and kick me out because and I quote "books don't belong here". Maybe if they did their "job" I wouldn't act like a knob

Maybe you should bring it up with the people that hired them instead of taking your frustration out on them.

I think you're being pretty unfair to be honest...you should have complained about the person who said that and get it sorted. Never had a problem with any of them myself, or anyone I know.

I've had to many problems with Ents crew throwing their weight around that I would let it happen again.

So the full line-up's being announced later. Anyone wanna take a bet as to how many outraged people will emerge on the Ents FB page regardless of the line-up? :P

Or better yet, how many people will say "Ah here, this has to be a joke right?" :pac:


Also, €20 for 2ManyDJ's... bit steep, but probably worth it if you're into that sort of thing.

If it's a good line-up, people won't complain. There's only one reason people would be unhappy about it. I don't hear anyone complaining about the likes of the Trinity Ball.

Not really. €30 to see them in Dublin.

So who is actually playing on the thursday at ul fest?

They complained last year even though there was a relatively decent lineup, just without the big names.

Expensive in terms of Charity Week events. €20 for one act VS €10 for UL Fest. I've no doubt that it'd be worth it, but I'd say a good few people may be turned off by that price tag.

Do you need to be a student to go to the 2 many djs gig? Could someone sign people in?

J_E

Apparently €50 for a banter band and they haven't even announced the UL Fest lineup. That's pretty bad...

I asked them this inside the S.U the last day. They said it shouldn't be a problem for a non UL student.

Excellent. Thank you.

Edit: by non Ul student do you mean a student from another college? What about us working folk that a few years past student age?

50 euro for a banter band is too much imo

Chris Martin

Wouldn't get one if it was 10...
Not my kind of scene at all,
Much more partial to the quietish pub,
Light banter kind of carry on...

50 euro is outrageous though,
Really cutting back on the spending this year,
How many students can afford that,
Plus beverages on top of that...

At that price I don't see them being close to sold out...

"50 quid for the band? ur havin a laugh"

When you can see 2 many djs for free the Friday night in Galway, €20 seem expensive!

Why are people saying it's expensive when it's cheaper than seeing them in Dublin?

I really think you don't understand the word 'free'! and it is Galway not Dublin!
