It should be a night to wave goodbye to the year that was, thinking back on the good times, and look forward to the twelve months to come with a sense of hope and optimism, surrounded by our nearest and dearest.
Of course, best laid plans and all that… and NYE often ends up as an epic disaster. So, to help you plan a kicking start to 2014, we’re outlining the reasons why every other year fails, so you can avoid them, and we’ve got the heads up on one of the best options for December 31
st this year.
No one wants to be the organiser
“What do you want to do?” “I don’t mind; what do you want to do?” Nip this one in the bud. Send out the group text now and see who’s available and up for the craic on NYE, then tell the interested parties that YOU will get back to them with details on what you’re all doing. If you want fun… make some!
Everyone is broke
Between Christmas shopping and the nights out you’ve all already had, no one is keen to spend a fortune they don’t have getting set for another night out. Broke and annoyed is not the way to begin the New Year.
The clubs are crazy
The place you pay €10 to get into on a Saturday night is suddenly charging €25. The line is around the corner from 8pm, and when you finally get in, you can’t get to the bar for an hour. The bathroom queue takes another hour. Disaster.
What to wear
New Year’s Eve balls and the likes put immense pressure on you to look a million dollars, and going out on the town you know almost everyone there will be sparkling like a Christmas tree. Take the pressure off by opting for comfy clothes and an outdoor event.
Spare wheels welcome
Parties at home are a popular choice, but not when all your mates are in relationships and you’re coming along like a spare wheel… awkward! Skip the intimate gatherings, and instead bring your crew to a big event where you can all be comfortable, have fun, and not break the bank! Plus… with all those new faces around, you may get a midnight kiss after all!
Avoid these pitfalls, we've got a fail safe solution for you!
Celebrate the last few hours of 2013 at the Three NYE Dublin Countdown Concert – the biggest street party of the year!
Featuring the legendary Madness, pop sensations MKS (Mutya/Keisha/Siobhan), and home grown talent Ryan Sheridan, The Strypes and Seo Linn, it’s the only place to ring in 2014. For more info and tickets visit http://www.3nyedublin.ie/
