ProgPower USA XI: SOLD-OUT

[Palabra de Dios]

I know that this fest relies a good bit on "word of mouth" advertising, so good job to anyone who simply convinced their friends to go along with them!!!

This is great news after last year not making it.

YES!, I am still a bellwether ticket-buyer. I've been coming since PPV, and so far every PP I've been to has sold out, every PP I haven't has not. Therefore, I should get to pick the bands from now on.

VII (6 tickets left)

OK, I was thinking of VII. I knew one show was ALMOST sold out. Congrats on yet another sell out!

With this line up of PP2 500 tickets left? Unreal! This was my first and it did not feel like 500 missing from a sell out Center Stage crowd.

Didn't PP2 happen very shortly after PP1? Plus it was a new location and a recession and the fest hadn't gotten a lot of notoriety yet. PPIII was the breakout year.

1. It did happen in the same calendar year as the first one.
2. New location and essentially unknown online outside a few forums.
3. Sales immediately stopped with 9/11.

I agree...... especially when Angel Dust played "Bleed." The crowd was as loud as I have ever heard at a PPUSA.

Make that at least 502. I know of at least 2 gold badges that never got used.
