Projektfest'10 Just 10 Bucks

Projektfest'10 has been revamped to be much more wallet-friendly, with ticket prices being reduced from the already-low price of $39 to just $10.
"It's quite simple: It's the best thing for me and it's the best thing for fans," said Projekt founder Sam Rosenthal. "I received feedback from fans that the economy is really tough, and although they'd love to attend Projektfest, the $39 ticket price plus travel expenses are a bit much for them."
Although the price reduction may seem drastic, Rosenthal saw it as a better alternative than taking the route of many major summer tours and cancelling the festival altogether. Projektfest is as much about the connection with fans as it is the music and many have already made travel plans from across the country.
"If I kept the price at $39, there is a large group of really wonderful (and no doubt fabulous-looking) people who won't be at Projektfest," Rosenthal said. "This was not good news because wonderful and fabulous-looking people enjoying each other, enjoying great music, having fun in a big party atmosphere is what makes Projektfest wonderful. I knew I needed to change something and lowering the price and consolidating the entertainment is a win-win decision: they have the opportunity to attend Projektfest at a price that doesn't hit their wallets so hard, and I have the satisfaction of seeing all of their wonderful and fabulous-looking selves at the event instead of being sad, lonely, and perhaps even mopey due to their absence."The entertainment has also been consolidated, leaving a few changes to the already-announced schedule. The revised Friday night Trocadero line-up is The Twilight Garden, Unto Ashes, Black Tape For A Blue Girl (featuring Brian Viglione of the Dresden Dolls), and - just added - Voltaire. The Saturday day stage has been replaced by an in-store at Digital Ferret Records, with Platform One. Most of the Merchants will be at the Trocadero on Friday Night.
The festival is now All Ages, and the cost is $10 or free with the purchase of a Projekt CD. It is set to take place in at the Trocadero in Philadelphia the weekend of July 30-31
