THE ORGANISERS OF a Junior Cert party have issued an apology after the disastrous night saw hundreds of students left stranded outside the venue.
Furious parents have been complaining about the event, which was held at the Clayton Silver Springs Hotel, and run by Pineapple Entertainment. The ball started at 8pm on Thursday night but as the venue began to fill up, teenagers with valid tickets were refused entry and left standing outside.
Adam Courtney of Pineapple Entertainment issued a statement yesterday, apologising profusely to anyone with a valid ticket who failed to get in.
“I know this was a very important for all involved, and I deeply regret that the event did not go to plan.”
Courtney said a number of people at the event had forged tickets which went undetected at the door, leading to the venue becoming overcrowded. He acknowledged that scrutiny of the tickets fell short on the night.
For future Pineapple Entertainment events, I intend to review our ticketing system, and take whatever action is required, such as working exclusively with one supplier, to eliminate opportunities for forgery.
Anyone holding a valid ticket will be fully refunded on request if they email PineappleEntertainmentBooking@gmail.com with their name and number.

Wishing you and your children a lifetime of happiness. Well done for being so brave, noone deserves to live a life like that.
Awful recount of what can happen when financially insecure and dependent. In the end it’s the abuser who has the issues and foists them on the victim. You will get stronger whilst they will only have themselves to blame. Well done. Be brave. Be free.
Does anyone think this guy should be given a taste of his own medicine even just once.
Im glad for you that its over and i hope you are happy now i really do.
Well done, some people will never understand just how difficult life can be.
These abusers are the lowest form of life. It infuriates me how they can be so cruel and get away with it..assaulting a child is particularly disgusting. Delighted the writer and her children got away from this brute and hope things have gotten easier for them. I just wish these thugs were dealt with more harshly.
Hi, I am very sorry to hear of your awful marital situation. I too have experienced the most horrendous marriage for over 20 years. I married a man in my early 20s and he was and still is a narcissist. He controlled every aspect of my life, throughout temper tantrums, manipulation, intimidation and threatening behavior. I walked on egg shells for years to protect myself and my children. He would engage in verbal abuse daily which took my dignity, self esteem, self confidence and identity. He had regular friendship with other women throughout. If a male said hello to me I was sleeping with him in my ex husbands mind. No abuse is acceptable at any level but as you say physical abuse is quantified but mental abuse is not. I wish you a happy new life and I have divorced my ex. I’m happy now.
have your say
