WITH the Rose of Tralee International Festival just two and a half months away, things are already hotting up in terms of ticket sales for one particular event.

With 66 Roses coming to the Festival this year, the demand for Rose Ball tickets is high and 25% extra tables will be in place for this year’s glamorous occasion.

The Festival’s Chief Executive, Anthony O’Gara, revealed this morning at the Tralee Chamber Alliance Business Breakfast meeting, that there were just 17 tables left at the €125-a-head event and encouraged anyone who was present and interested in going, to get moving on tickets as they were selling out fast.

The Rose Ball is the social highlight of the year in Tralee and guests at the black-tie event will mingle with the Roses and celebrities in the Dome on Friday, August 19.
