Reception
The album spent 2 weeks in the Australian charts in 1992 peaking at number 45.[2] Black Ticket Day was awarded an ARIA for the Best Independent Release and was a nominee for Best Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 1993.[3]
The Allmusic review by Roch Parisien awarded the album 2½ stars and states "Even at his most gorgeously melodic, there's always a dark, mournful tinge to Kuepper's work. His ability to combine beauty with sadness and basic pop structures with extended improvisation can be mesmerizing".[4]
