I assume there'll be drink promotions at this...? It'd be just wrong to charge the o2's usual 7 or 8 euro a pint for students

That was rumours on twitter that some girl circulated and then "took it back" like an hour later...

Aqua.


That'd actually be unreal.
But, no.

Aqua?
First Gigi... if aqua made an appearance I'd actually be reliving my childhood.

Soooo 72 hours to go...that headliner eh?

Raphael

Maybe the big reveal is that the headliner was inside you all along?

I've been to the O2 on 4 separate occassions, and it has never been more than €5 a pint. Past UCD Ball's never had student value drinks (because they'll sell it anyway given the event) so I'd expect this one to be no different

For everyone who still hasn't copped the headliner.

Listen closely to the music in the UCD Ball announcement video. Who's the one artist who isn't mentioned yet has two songs in the video?

There's your headliner.

I left UCD a couple of years ago and they used to have the Balls (what years they actually had one) in the space between the Medicine building and the old Students' Union building.

Is that space all gone with the redevelopments? Cos it comfortably accomodated the numbers back then.

Haven't watched the video but if that's true I'd be bitterly disappointed. Hardly what I'd call a Headliner. Also no reason to hold it back this long.

Benni Bennasi. Or however you spell it

Not a hope. He's in the super league these days (He played Coachella there last weekend) and is playing Las Vegas on Friday. My mistake, that's for May. I'd be surprised if they got him to be honest. He'd be commanding the same money as the likes of Afrojack these days.

There is. If it's really **** it will put people off going.

You're MAD if you think Benny Benassi costs anywhere near what Afrojack costs. And I don't mean to be insulting, but you're well off the mark and Benassi is well within reach.

Yeah I kinda wrote that and then reflected on it, seeing as he's David Guetta's half protege at this stage. Couldn't come up with a 'just below the top' DJ to compare Benny too. The guy is demanding big money however as he's scheduled in Las Vegas this year. Most big names arn't even doing Ibiza this year as a result of Vegas's influence (Tiesto for the first time not headlining in Ibiza and Pacha kicking out all the major players include Morillo)

So yeah, Afrojack was a bad choice to be fair.

How strict do people think they'll be on graduates going with old student cards?

If its not sold out I can't imagine them turning away paying customers once they have a form of government ID to show theyre over 18.

Mugsy_P

The last two years I've been I wasn't asked for any form of ID.

Alkers

Was always asked for a student card any time I've been but I'd say an expired one would be fine.

errlloyd

I thought he meant for buying a ticket, in terms of the door, you defo won't get turned away.

spillit67

At this stage Ents would be better off keeping in a surprise.

Dani Pacheco

Despite all the fuss over the Headliner, I think that at the end of the day, the purpose of the ball is for us all to have a final day out before exams to blow off some steam by getting absolutely twisted. And this has been provided to us. So, whatever the final line-up turns out to be, Friday is going to be one unreal session regardless (Hopefully this lipdub craic finishes on time now!).

Don't think tickets seem to be selling too well. Had ents guys coming around to lectures today trying to 'sell it' to the class so they must be desperate...

From what I heard there's already tons of tickets sold and I know a lot of people going. I'd say they're just trying to maximize sales.
