I missed this concert but I was at 10 cent "Beer Night" in June 1974...same stadium...but a much worse riot.

my sister got tickets for the two of us. They were $5.50, and white. Mother (?)threw them and the memorabilia out but we were there. I took some photos which were terrible but I wish I had them, they were also thrown out. that was the first time I was at Cleveland Stadium. I don't remember a riot in particular. We went home on the rapid transit.

I was ther, too. Face price on the ticket was $5! I actually managed to wrestle a piece of Ringo's jacket from crazed girls who ripped it from him. They tore down the snow fence and we poured out onto the field when they started the first riff of Day Tripper! The ticket and jacket are laminated in good shape for posterity.

I wanted so bad to be there at the stadium.My parents refused to buy a ticket, saying it was too much money!So, i listened to WIXY 1260 and dreamed! I remember it turned cold and wet that day.

Thats sooo funny about the tickets being 3-6$ I saw Paul in concert a few years ago, tickets were 45$ and that was the cheap seats :p
