Mr Mulley should be given credit for his efforts and for a really very, very reasonable ticket price.

€30 will hardly keep some youngins in fags for a few days let alone a week..and they would need fags for the night as well. Oh the stress…

In comparison to the likes of the Radio Awards? Tickets to go to that this year are €157.30 a pop….

Ditto. Just because you didn’t state a ticket price doesn’t mean I assumed there wouldn’t be one – you did fine in my books. The critical thing for me is not that there be free entry for people, but that there be free nominations.

Having said that… hmm, wonder if I can write my tickets off as a business expense…

Misunderstanding on my part but €30 is a most reasonable fee for the night, won’t hear any arguments from me.

I’d actually assumed there would be a charge on the door, and 30 quid seems reasonable given the costs associated with an event of this scale.

The important goal of transparency is intact so long as winners can receive an award without forking out any money and that remains the case, as you’ve helpfully clarified.

Bravo!
