“A brilliant gig for everyone - apart from the guy outside trying to flog "Tower Ballroom" commemorative t-shirts!

I'll never forget walking into the crush as the dj played Debaser by the Pixies.

Was there a load of forged tickets or something - it felt dangerously full?

Anyone got a ticket to post up - can't seem to find mine.”
“what was up with the guy selling t-shirts?”
“Big pile of tshirts with the wrong venue on. The Tower Ballroom is a different place!”
“oh yeah. doh!”
“The crush was maybe caused by the alleged kicking open of some doors that enabled loads to get in?”
