169.0. "Anyone have spare Donnington tix?" by 45645::CROOKSTON (Don't throw the 'R' away !!!) Wed Aug 17 1988 21:13

    
    Does anyone know, or do you have, a spare ticket for the Donnington
    bash next Saturday.
    
    A friend of mine is quite desperate for one but is having difficulty
    getting hold of one. Can you help out ??????

    Tommy, me good fellow,
    
    According to the Press, you can still get them by post (I don't
    know when the gig is, so you may not have time to do this).  You
    should be able to get tix from Listen Records (The Butts) in Reading.
    
    If you want I can check press and get full details?
    
    David.
    
169.3info for me please.45645::CROOKSTONDon't throw the 'R' away !!!Thu Aug 18 1988 13:2121
    
    I thought that the gig was on the 20th of this month but I've just
    realised that is the same weekend as the Reading festival and surely
    they wouldn't have two big bashes like that running on the same
    weekend?
    
    I'd be most grateful for any info Dave the Rave. Shoulda known you'd
    know something shouldn't I...................
    
    Sorry to disappoint you Sue but Van Halen aren't playing but.....
    
    Dave Lee Roth is....so are
    
    Iron Maiden (headlining) 
    Kiss
    Megadeth
    
    and a few others...
    
    Cheers
    Tommy.

    Don't forget the brilliant GUNS "N ROSES and HELLOWEEN - they are
    both playing.
                 
                 
    BTW - Tix are available at the gate.

169.5What a crying shame!!SUBURB::BURKEGOvation axe manMon Aug 22 1988 17:087
    
    Well Tony, anyone else who attended, what went wrong? Was it
    slamdancing that caused the unfortunate incident or is the media
    overreacting. Any comments on the return of the Hooligan element
    in music??

169.7this happened...KERNEL::IMBIERSKIMon Aug 22 1988 17:494
    2 fans died in the crowd. The news said it was a stampede. Don't
    suppose they reported it on Munich TV.

    Well people, all this "slamdancing" bizniz was a load of rubbish.
    
    I was close to the front with my other half, and we saw NOT ONE
    person slamdancing.  If there was so much slam dancing going on
    then how come the news clip they showed everywhere didn't show 
    anybody doing it.  There was hardly any headbanging either.  
    Everybody was friendly, (I was stood feeling real fed up coz it
    was cold and this guy, who was stood with his girl, asked if I 
    was feeling ok and offered me a swig of his beer and when I said 
    no thanx - I had my own - he offered me a smoke of his er.....
    rather thick cigarette.                                      
                                                                  
    As per usual, the media is talking from the wrong end. 
         
    Hey Gavin, were you not there, banging your bonce ?????? :-)
