How much?
Can't remember. Try Google - works wonders.
Where is it?
Dinner in Lower/Upper College Halls, and marquee behind.
What's the benefits of getting dinner or not?
You get dinner. Or you don't. That's it. That said it's a pretty good dinner and drinks are provided. There's as much food and drink as most people are likely to want or at least are able to consume in that time.
How is it overall as a ball?
Pretty damn good. Do the early dinner if you can, the ceilidh is only forgettable if you've had too much to drink - same band each year, I think. Giant games, chocolate fountain and free "breakfast" has been included in previous years. Drinks are a rip-off, and if you want water you need to go out into the toilets in one of the Quad buildings.
My advice: go, and splash out some money on the dinner if you can afford it and like food.
