Competitions
Description
The Party scene is like a WiLD? animal - it won't just lay down to rest, and so we're back. This time we have put together the demo event of the year packed with many new features and all the best from past years. We have pretty much thought of everything for you to have a blast, only thing is... - Batteries not included!
This was the years that a quarter of Aars city was blacked out. The Party place ate so much power, that we blew out two 25.000 Amps fuses!!! The blackout lasted 4 hours, meanwhile people began to perform live acts and sing songs

FAQ
- Q: Where can I download the competition files from?
- A: Unfortunately we have not been able to find a location online that would host the files, so they have not been available for download for quiet a while. But this has changed now, and at the same time we have launch at cool new site on http://files.theparty.dk/ where you can search our archives of files and results and preview and download files.
- Q: Why are the tickets already for sale?
- A: This year we will try to sell the tickets before The Party for a number of reasons. First of all: Last year we allowed our guests to reserve tables without paying in advance. This resulted in over - booking which forced us to report that there were no more tables available. Without doubt this resulted in people deciding not to come due to uncertainty concerning going all the way to Denmark without being able to get in or not. Therefore it was an unpleassant surprise for us to find out that a lot of groups didn't show up of unknown reasons. We also feel that we, in this way, allow as many people as possible to get the exact table they want. All you have to do is to buy a ticket in advance.
- Q: How do foreingers get tickets to The Party 1997?
