Thank you!

19.5.2014

That was Stream TEN. And wow, what a party! Our twelve year journey really ended with a resounding bang, with record breaking attendance (250 visitors!), amazing compos and, most importantly, a hell of a good time. We owe that all to you, of course.

Stream will always have a special place in all our hearts, and for that, we'd like to thank all of you visitors, from recent first timers to those who've been there since our humble beginnings in Pirkkala. Together, we've built something legendary. Together, we've made demoscene history and helped keep the tradition of Finnish demoparties alive. May that tradition live long!

It's been beautiful. Thank you. We love you.

And we're looking forward to joining you for more beer and demos, wherever that may be.

If you've been at Stream previously, you may have noticed we use large amount of very professional level AV equipment every year. Renting all that hasn't been cheap!

Supercell is helping us this year by sponsoring Stream with AV equipment costs. That allows us to make other areas of the party even better and bring the cash prize pool up!

Please note that in order to attend the party you must receive an invitation!

Everyone who have attended previous Stream events will become automatically invited. New attendees need to get an invitation from organisers or from someone who has already been invited.

This is not to restrict anyone from coming to the party. Everyone is more than warmly welcome as long as he/she shares our interest in the demoscene or digital art in general.

The ticket price from the door is 25€ or 20€ if paid in advance, before 12th of may.

Every visitor has an account in our intranet system. Accounts are linked to RFID tags and are used to identify you at the sales desk. At the sales desk the RFID tags are charged for your purchases.

You can deposit credits at the info desk (NOT at the sales desk) and if you buy tickets in advance you may deposit credits at the same time.

It is possible to use your existing RFID tag (bus card etc.) alternatively you can buy a tag from the party. Our RFID readers read only the unique ID of RFID tag and do not perform any alterations to its content.

The purpose of this arrangement is to minimise the need to handle cash.
