People nominated only recieve 1 ticket to the ceremony, and if they wanted to bring someone, they have to buy a ticket for €250. On top of their submnission fee of €100 Sounds like the IFTAs.

It's nuts I've argued (discussed) the entire money side of things with them at length but they just don't get it. If the awards were surviving based purely on the nomination fee it would be one thing, but they aren't. The awards have a headline sponsor (Eircom) and sponsors for each and every category PLUS the nomination fee PLUS the entrance fee on the night. Of course there's no real quality checking on submissions or any proper transparent judging criteria.

It's hardly going to be the best of blogs if that's the case. Charging €150 for blogs to enter is ridiculous. It’s hardly going to be the best of blogs if that’s the case.
