CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –

The third annual Cleveland Rocks New Year’s Eve event has been canceled due to a funding shortage.

The party, which has been held outdoors the past two years, was slated to be held inside the Cleveland Public Auditorium on Dec. 31, with Drew Carey returning as host.

In an open letter to the city, event founder Alonzo Mitchell III apologized for the cancellation, saying it comes down to math.

Mitchell says all online ticket buyers will receive an email message by Wednesday morning with refund instructions.
