Trinity students clamour for larger Amy Poehler venue as queue for tickets grows
ON FRIDAY COMEDIAN, author, actor and all round smart girl Amy Poehler will give an address at Trinity College Dublin’s Phil society, accepting an honorary patronage.
The only problem is, there are less than 200 tickets up for grabs to see her speak.
They’ll be allocated on a first come, first served basis at the GMB building at the university from midday today, but only to Trinity students who are members of The Phil.
Eager Poehler fans have been queuing since 7am this morning to get their hands on a precious pair of tickets with at least 100 in line already.

Poehler joins the likes of Chris Hadfield and Conan O’Brien as honorary patrons of The Phil.
Over 2,000 people have registered on Facebook as ‘going’ to the event on Friday. Wishful thinking.
Chair of The Phil Sarah Mortell said that she had simply contacted Poehler to see if she’d be interested in accepting the award, and received a ‘yes’ in return.
