it must be said that in recent years, lives are often in festivals, so the exorbitant tickets do not depend on Ae.
I agree and am in no way pointing the finger at one particular person or act. The promoter dictates the ticket price, obviously influenced by the amount the act is charging as well as venue hire and so on.
The main rising costs here generally are:
1) Venue owners raising the price of venue hire.
2) Insurance costs: In Ireland especially we have a problem with insurance companies over charging. Public liability insurance is needed in the Republic of Ireland for most events and companies operating here are rising the price of this to unreasonable levels. Direct comparisons to similar events in Northern Ireland show substantially higher insurance rates in the Republic of Ireland. This is due to insurance companies here acting as cartels.
3) Acts and / or booking agents raising their fees

some prices were in Irish Spudcoin brought over into EUR so the underpinnings are very loose.
Spudcoin and other such parochial currencies were rate locked to the Euro even before we started using the physical notes so I think that aids your maths which to me looks pretty sound if a little fast and loose, but I like it like that. Great addition to the thread.

I remember a stage dancer at the Olympia Aphex Twin gig. I believe (but may be wrong) it was Paul Nicholson who danced on stage for a lot of Aphex Twin gigs during the 90s and also designed the Aphex Twin "A-" logo.

Hey, are you the Splitradix? If so, I loved Synthesizing Your Future.
If not, you might want to check it out, it's good.
I just checked that release and yes it is good. And yes I am the same Splitradix. Glad you liked it.
Ok that *was* a bit silly. I blame the Aphex chat.

The 2nd funnel set, was the first one i was meant to see them but in queuing up my best mate swayed too much as we tried to drunkenly hold it together..... and the bouncers said... "nah"
Managed to see them 2 years later though!
The second Funnel set was a good one, here's a few lines I wrote for somebody years ago: "Second time Autchre played here this year, this time they were armed with fancy new looking laptops and played a lot of new material from their recently released LP5 album. Support was a DJ set from Mira Calix."
A guy I hung out with called Kevin interviewed Mira Calix for a zine he made called Slanted and Enchanted (which I wrote some "articles" for also, I use quotes as my writing was terrible, Kevin's was much better). She told him that one of her favourite ever albums was Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. (RIP)
Kevin first introduced me to Autechre via a mix tape he made for me which included "Second Bad Vilbel". That was also the first time I heard an Aphex Twin track which was "Ventolin (Wheeze Mix)". I remember there was also a Sabres of Paradise track, some Red Snapper, DJ Shadow, DJ Krust and Photek. He wrote a little description of each of the producers too, it was a great introduction to a world I remained deep in all my life to this day. We met in a univertisy I was attending (and then dropped out of) called DCU, I was trying to study physics.
The next night Aphex Twin played at The Olympia Theature which was also a great gig and was the first time I met Trev and Dunk aka Ambulance. They gave me a tape of their music which depressed me due to how good it was (I was trying to make music too).
Dunk is going to support Autechre this October at the Vicar Street gig in Dublin. He's my favourite Irish producer and I have yet to catch up to his high and prolific level of music production. His music is available here: https://countersunk.bandcamp.com/ Three of his tracks are in the new Autechre DJ mix (one a co-production with Deasy, real name David Cleary).

Also...your name is Splitradix? Really?
No silliness in my Autechre thread please. This isn't the Aphex Twin section.

Can't believe somebody was actually trying to make a joke in my Autechre thread.

You can’t see Autechre in concert, they play in the dark. Liars.
"The human eye can function from very dark to very bright levels of light; its sensing capabilities reach across nine orders of magnitude. This means that the brightest and the darkest light signal that the eye can sense are a factor of roughly 1,000,000,000 apart." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(eye)

Helsinki MUSIIKKITALO on 11.09.22 (support Ilpo Väisänen) came to € 65,75 each including unavoidable Ticketmaster fee.
You've got a ways to go over there in Dublin yet by the looks of it.
You are correct, that appears to be the most expensive Autechre gig that has ever taken place so far. Was that the one where Autechre released a recording of it for free to all the attendees afterwards as an apology for the sound quality at the show?

Hello! My name is Splitradix and I am a lifelong Autechre fan. (PS who do I pay to change my username)
I live in Dublin and Autechre are playing a gig here in October in Vicar Street. The tickets cost €46.15 (40+unavoidable online ticketmaster fee). I've been digging through my archives of Autechre gigs I have attended (or ones in Dublin I missed) and how much they cost over the years and have compiled a little list of them (link below). I have a funny feeling in the back of my mind that this upcoming Dublin gig might be one of the most expensive Autechre ticket prices ever, so far, in the history of the planet.
I would love to hear from other people who have attended Autechre gigs over the years and can remember how much they cost and what date the gig was on. Please leave your data in this thread in the form of a comment if you would like to!
Here is my list so far (NB: Irish prices pre 2001 were officially in a different currency called the Irish Punt that I convered to Euro using the correct exchange rate for simplicity, hence the slightly unusual unrounded numbers):

This is out now and got picked as EP of the week by Bleep.com which was nice of them as the title had previously broken their website text formatting: https://bleep.com/release/246203-splitradix-515343nord-82509waldorf
I also made a music video of me recording a take of the first track on it "3350 Beach Electronic": https://youtu.be/v0eIbuOPfgY

Some of the code at the start of the video is a slightly mangled version of the .json files that the Cirklon sequencer saves. If you freeze the track near the start you can see what instrument he named each output track of the Cirklon after.

Ryan's ma retweeted this. Is the "in 8" referring to something, or is it just there because it is? My knowledge of the Cirklon interface is non-existent...
Holy shit! Did Richard make Ryan his own, private song as a thank you? If so, Ryan is even luckier than I had originally thought!
no, that's splitradix's cirklon AFAICT.
Hi, I'm Splitradix. That's my Cirklon. Sorry if anybody was confused by the (in 8) but that's just part of the Cirklon interface, it tells you how many bars until the next scene. By default it's (in 1).

There were many imitators.....

I saw this today near where I live in Berlin:

I got an email this morning from Bleep saying the files were ready to download, so I downloaded them. I ordered the vinyl and live in Berlin.

ah cool thanks @ german guy the hiss is actually kinda pleasant
I'm not German I just live here.
-
is there meant to be a weird tapehiss sound on every track or are my headphones/ears/brains broken
That's the sound of old analogue synths going through analogue eqs and effects into analogue mixing desks. A lot of the older digital equipment has a pretty high noise floor also.

CIRCLONT6A [141.98] (syrobonkus mix) is on BBC Radio 6 right now.
