PROGPOWER EUROPE, 3 full days??

renejanssen · October 11th, 2007, 02:08 PM

Hi,

Just a question. Because of our 10th anniversary we plan to do 3 days at the mainstage next year instead of the pre-party in the basement. This will be just for once, but because of the 10th edition we want to offer you something extra. We are thinking of 3 bands on Friday and the regular 6 on Saturday and Sunday.

Do you think this will be interesting?

Let us know.

Yessss - 3 days at the main stage would be absolutely fantastic. Even if it costs more. To be sincere - it is simply very very difficult to produce an acceptable sound downstairs.

Do it!

very good idea!!

Go for it!

Good idea

Maybe one more night(arrival thursday(or is spelled THIRSTDAY

) ) at Kasteel De Berckt could be optional for us travelling the 1.300km?

I'm all for having the pre-party / intro on the main stage, because the sound in the basement is really hard to get right, and it fails more often than not.

It looks like we will go for a 3-day event next year, if not, than the pre-party will be held in the main hall anyway. We will do some changes than so that the main hall will be a little smaller, but the bands will play on the main stage.

If we do a 3-day event of course we have to ask an entrance fee, we try to keep it as cheap as possible, but if we book 3 bands you have to count on 10-15 euro extra.

I personally think 3 days is too much for me old legs and back :-)
I would rather see some extra entrance money being invested in bigger/better bands over 2 days.
Nevertheless I probably will be there if it's a 3 day event !!

How would you obtain extra entrance money, if you keep it a two day event (without raising the entrance fee)?

If we organise an extra friday-night, we try not to prejudice people who're only coming on saturday and/or sunday.
