The "policy" on CDs per person...
First, I'd like to thank the fans for their support and the interest in our new record. We are very proud of it and we hope you thoroughly enjoy it!
I had the idea to do a special offer of the CD several months ago, not just because of the importance of ProgPower in the prog metal community as a way to generate some attention for the release, but also as a special thank you to Ken Golden who gave us our start on Sensory Records, and as a way of thanking Glenn and giving him a little something else to provide to attendees, especially gold badge holders. I'd like to publicly thank not only Ken and Glenn, but Inside Out and Century Media, both of which have been fully supportive of this idea from the start. Now that I can finally talk about it, let me also add that Century Media has already been fantastic to work with and we are delighted to be part of the Century family.
Numerous posters have asked how many CDs each person will be allowed to buy, etc. and I've discussed the situation with Ken and Glenn. While normally I wouldn't be in favor of any restrictions, I do think part of the spirit of this promotion is to provide another little something for gold badge holders and at the same time make the CD available to Redemption fans in attendance.
With this in mind, Ken has decided to limit sales to two per person on Friday. We aren't using wristbands or doing anything heavyhanded to enforce this -- we are relying on the honor system and Ken's preternatural memory for faces. Do not tempt the Goldenator. On Saturday, there will be no limit to how many CDs each person can buy.
We are also doing our best to make the pricing very reasonable, and I would personally be very disappointed (as I'm sure Ken and Glenn would be) if people were to take advantage of this and buy copies only to sell them on eBay before the street date of the CD in early October. Glenn and I will be monitoring the auction / resale sites between the end of the festival and the street date. Please do the right thing and don't resell anything. Obviously, I hope you enjoy the music and if you buy multiple copies that you're giving them to friends. If you're buying ten copies to sell before the broader street date, it will be the last time anything like this happens at ProgPower and that would be very disappointing to everybody.
So with that said, again, I thank you all very much for your interest, and hope that Snowfall is one of your favorite discs this year!
