There is no mention of ticket prices. In my day (early 80s) tickets were priced very high, explicitly to exclude anyone not of private means. I suppose nowadays one could get a loan or put it on a credit card. [[User:Rachel Pearce|Rachel Pearce]] ([[User talk:Rachel Pearce|talk]]) 17:37, 11 February 2008 (UTC) |

Looking back over the history of this article, it looks like a female guest was sexually assulted. A user who is no longer an editor of Wikipedia called AJN appears to have reworded it. I'd propose to reinstate the more informative wording, except I'd prefer to see some external reference first. A quick search turned nothing up. 1990 is too long ago for my research skills :( --[[User:RatnimSnave|RatnimSnave]] ([[User talk:RatnimSnave|talk]]) 15:11, 30 March 2011 (UTC) |

The Trinity/Worcester dispute
[edit]There were already four Commem balls in operation in 1999 at least, and almost certainly in 1996.
As a Trinity man, I remember the issue being discussed before the 1999 ball (implying that it was already an issue then). I also have a very vague recollection of being told that Trinity had shifted a year "out" from its original position at one point (perhaps the 1950s), and that Magdalen or New was actually the "interloper".
Even more vaguely, I think the old College history (precursor to Claire Hopkins' book, perhaps from the '60s or '70s) may say something about this. AJN 17:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- I doubt there is any justification for the idea that there should only be one Commem. ball in any given year - if you go back far enough I imagine various colleges would have held balls all through the week, like in May week in Cambridge, and all of these would have been white tie. If a college holds a ball in Commem. week and chooses to call its ball a Commem. ball, whether it is annual or triennial or white tie or black tie, who is to stop it? Certainly, it is not the job of Wikipedia to say that one is justified and the other is not. Andrew Yong 22:40, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Andrew, I just wanted to complement you on the edits—you seem to have summed the dispute up very well. me_and 10:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Christ Church commem ball
[edit]When I added the Cherwell citation, it didn't mention Christ Church having a ball in 2008. The citation is now offline, so I've removed the link, but as the link was only a web copy of a print article, the citation is still valid. However, if Christ Church is holding a ball, it needs a citation, since there is obviously some contention over who is holding what balls in 2008. me_and 21:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
chch is definitely holding a comem ball in 2008
Ticket prices
[edit]There is no mention of ticket prices. In my day (early 80s) tickets were priced very high, explicitly to exclude anyone not of private means. I suppose nowadays one could get a loan or put it on a credit card. Rachel Pearce (talk) 17:37, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

ChristChurch incident
[edit]what was this "incident"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.43.240 (talk) 13:43, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Looking back over the history of this article, it looks like a female guest was sexually assulted. A user who is no longer an editor of Wikipedia called AJN appears to have reworded it. I'd propose to reinstate the more informative wording, except I'd prefer to see some external reference first.
