OhioProg 2012 Cancelled
January 5, 2012, 12 years ago
OhioProg 2012 was scheduled to take place September 7th - 9th, at the Canton Palace Theatre, located at 605 Market Avenue North in Downtown Canton, Ohio.
Organizers have issued the following update:
"OhioProg 2012 turned to crowd funding platform to make tickets available for the 3-day progressive rock festival in an attempt to ensure enough people would attend to cover the costs and expenses of holding such a grand event. The Kickstarter campaign ended on January 2nd, 2012 with only 60 tickets pledged. A total of around 400 - 450 tickets pledged at the various levels would have reached the funding goal.The festival adopted Kickstarter’s project criteria in that, it is all-or-nothing funding. So, since the goal was not reached OhioProg 2012 has been cancelled. Also, because funding on Kickstarter is all or nothing, all pledges have been automatically canceled.
We thank the many that did pledge and committed to attending the festival. The support meant a lot. We’d also like to thank those at the Canton Palace Theatre and those in the Canton area who have been very gracious to our staff and efforts. And of course all of the bands who were invited to perform at OhioProg 2012, we thank you for believing in our event!"
