i have seen luke vibert, amon tobin, autechre, dj surgeon and various others over here in the netherlands for ticket prices ranging from 4 to 8 pounds. Small and big venues alike.
I wouldn't mind paying 10 pounds for a ticket if i knew the beer wasnt going to be expensive, but how much do you pay for a pint over there?
Maybe you brits have been brainwashed long enough now to simply accept that everything costs shiteloads of money.
Do yourselves a favor, and take your money elsewhere, if 10 pounds really is 'nothing' to you. You might just get twice as much out of it in the Netherlands, to name just one country.
Lovely weather by the way, innit?

Britain has a strong economy and although living costs are expensive, we generally earn enough money to make everything balance. It is of course harder for you foreigners, but well... fuck ya :p
Seriously though, The Attic is a superb venue (Hanfest is gonna be held there) and the Sequence nights are top-notch. Good music, awesome soundsystems and a friendly atmosphere.
I wouldn't drink pints in a club though. Bottles only, and they're generally between £2-3 each. I prefer to drink water personally, though that isn't much cheaper!

i wouldn't say we're brainwashed at all dude...
and i wouldn't say 'take your money elsewhere either' as considering you're in holland that's just rude.
we don't put on events to make money - door price is relevant to costs.
we work hard to do it month in and month out, put decent parties on covering many genres and basically try to do something good in manchester...

Don't be so bloody rude. You have no idea how hard these guys work to consistently put on amazing shows for us. It might seem like a lot of money but in order to cover the cost of the venue and the djs, that's just what's necessary. The majority of people are more than happy to pay, when they know what an amazing night is in store for them.

well i suppose that was rather rude indeed. It's sort of an automatic reaction of me to compare prices of various things per country, but i shouldnt have assumed that you make a lot of money with these tickets.
I just have this aversion to economy in general and i have the idea we are getting fucked over with the euro currency as well, hence my poor brainwashing comment. It takes only little time for people to accept anything their government feeds them. Some stuff has doubled in price since the euro but nobody is spending less. Then i see people in england paying ten pounds for a non-festival night and it just baffles me, but i should've taken more things into account (like, its all relative).
Sorry for being an arsehole :/

10 quid is nothing, j198. it's just where you're living that it's cheap.

again, i'm very sorry. I feel ashamed for what i've said earlier. I would gladly pay 10 pounds or more to witness one of these events sometime and i hope CC303 and his crew will be able to keep organising them for as long as they wish.
