I was drawn to an event over the weekend, which was advertised as a 'Ball', as it was, I didn't make it but according to reports, it turned out to be not a lot more than an ordinary class night, with an 11pm finish but people were still charged £3 more, for what seemed like very little extra

Should there be some sort of standardization of names?

for example...

A Standard Class night - class, 11pm finish time
A freestyle - no class - longer (pre -advertised) finish time
A party night- themed/fun class? Food? Cabaret? Late finish
A Ball - No class? Strict dress code? Cabaret? drinks on arrival? Very late finish. Something special to set it apart from other nights?

Or is it 'our' responsibility to find out what's in 'the name'?

Any thoughts?
