Less people going? Is it "old hat" now? Not as much fun as it used to be? Usually there are all the threads about what can I wear blah blah.....................sign of the times?

True! I guess we'll have to wait for another couple of hours then ;) And no threads about it even after its done! Did no one attend it really?? They're probably all hungover!

It went downhill when International Village was scrapped (and Party Zone) too serious now.....not so much party atmosphere.... The best one i went to was in 2007 and i dont want to spoil the memory of that one! <em>edited by Blueskies on 23/03/2011</em>

I hardly know anyone going these days. I used to go every year, but as another poster says, it lacks atmosphere and the fun side now, it's all got a bit serious and far too expensive.

Yeah I was just thinking that too........used to be loads of threads in the lead up with everyone getting their outfits made and trying to accessorise. Yeah I think sign of the times probably sums it up pretty well SM.

I do remember a few years back there were LOADS of threads about it; the hats, the transport, the ticket prices, the outfits, the transport, the different ticketing grades, the transport [!!!'> ... Guess prices have gone up and the entertainment factor has gone since it moved, perhaps? Who knows?! Wild horses [ahem!'> couldn't drag me to it, to be honest. Always seemed a bit ... try-hard to me anyway, even in the 'good old days'. Not like going to Ascot or even Randwick. :D But have fun, anyone who's going. :)

New venue is lacking in atmosphere, packages are a complete rip off. Better things to do.......

You mean the cricket world cup? There haven't been any matches for several days now, SM; next 'big one' -- a quarter final -- is today, between Pakistan and the Windies. Expect a bit more chat this arvo when it all kicks off. :)
