Since you have said it here. Why would I waste my time.0 -
Ah I'm not the only one who had to unlike the UCD Ball 2012 page on FB because someone was using it to promote certain Tuesday night events which have nothing to do with UCD Ball.:rolleyes:
Heavens above. A facebook page that was redundant was used for something else? Have you told the village elders?
It was a great ball mate, we'll leave it at that 0 -

Ticket sales were healthy enough for that as well
But, yes, you're correct in your other points
I was personally involved in Mord Fustang. I was told around 8pm that he wasn't coming by both PK and D'Arcy. There was no public announcement made (in a timely fashion) before the show. By 10pm, the bar probably had about 120 people in it. No queue, no one arriving. And no one knew at that time that it had been cancelled. Ticket sales were non-existent in my opinion.
However, that was not Ent's fault nor do I levy any blame on them. I place the blame on the student body. And either way, it has nothing to do with the Ball! 0 -

There was just over 450 tickets sold for Mord Fustang. And the reason I know that is because I was had to count them and get them ready for a refund. The lack of public announcement was because of the lateness of actually finding out themselves, and in hindsight was probably the better move PR wise. They put signs up on the door and had us tell everyone coming in that Mord cancelled. If they made a public announcement post-8pm then a load of keyboard warriors that weren't even gonna go to the gig that were sitting in their bedrooms would have probably kicked up stink online - The usual. And in fairness, full refunds were offered, An alternative act were organised in such a short timeframe, and D'arcy and PK were very upset. But yea, a good night was had in the end as far as I remember, but you're right these things happen. nothing to do with the Ball as you said.
I reckon there'll be a ball. They would have HAD to say there's none at this stage...0 -

Using data collected under a different pretense to spam people's facebook accounts with someones personal after office business is dubious at best.
If UCD emails were used then it would come under data protection and fb accounts really aren't all that different.
Yes it was a great ball as I congratulated at the time, you're right, should have been just left it at that.:cool:0 -
