The plans were So nieely 'made And, to their originaters, seenlingly foolPrO0f; We Were convinced we'd corne,aWay withtiekets to Toronte,c9neert four weeks hence. TiCitetS were tO go'onsale At ten Saturday., morning. We'd get, ' there at:eight, niaybetirit early enough to get the very 'best seats, hat neYertiteless we expeCted to be sitting ,ptetty. ° T..M4 rneantg4tingp at five and &Whig te the Queen's , city Th,9r8allizef:SOf the etnicert, perhaps persuaded by. - the cit';fathers, had a ticket -selling brainstorm. 'I his was - a big cOapert - the Bess, Springsteen for two nights at Maple Leaf Gardens, and the sponsors atid I'm sure the city knew there would be vast lineups for seats. So what do you dp?„.Sell, them at Exhibition Stadium down at the lake and; far, away from where crowds could disrupt the eity',s normal routine. Further, there is no warm'waitink Area so there would be no problem in avid fans damping nut days in advance (there Were, actually, some at the park since Wednesday.) Still, how many weuld brave the cold night to get a goed spot inline. Arriving at eight should be fine, and for a time --it-lookedns-though-we-vvere-right. At the parking jot, .there were miles of vacant spots. Good sign. Just out of sight of the Stadium, there were very few people. Good sign. EIGHT PEOPLE DEEP Then the Stadium. Stretching the length of it was a line eight people deep in some places. Still, though, it seemed reasonable to expect to get decent seats. After all, there were two shows,. so surely... Dutifully, we headed for the end of the line and finally, after walking two-thirds of the way around the building the end of the line came "tip. Not too discouraging. It would have been quite resonable to give up, but after.so much planning and anticipation, reason is often the last mental process that is .relied upon. So we waited. And waited,. And waited. For the first couple of hours, the cold was bearable. We were surrounded by good folks so we were able to stay warm, entertained and amused. Finally, though, the cold begins to consume you. My companion, although I am certainly a Springsteen fan, is quite close to being a fanatic. She swore, up and down, that she would stick out the wait and had come well prepared to do so. Suddenly, after about the fourth hour, • she discovered she was also a fan of hockey trivia and„ my gosh, there's a Hockey Hall of Fame, Mind if 1 go warm up Sure, says this martyr. Really, I didn't mind, and occasionally she would return to make sure nature hadn't made me a permanent fixture on the sidewalk outside the park. Then off she'd go again to find out more about the Howes, the Meekers and their other steel -footed mates. Five hours, looking at six. Waiting like that is greatly out of character for me, but the longer one stands in line the greater his resolve to last to the end becomes THE BREAKING POINT THE HURON EXPQSITOR,-DECEIYI ER 24,1980 13 y Herb SlIcetter There is, however, a breaking point. As six hours neared, ,repOrts began to filter back from those closer to thefront that the only seats left were stage side or behind. rTheu Te00,purchasers of tickets began to give the same „ repotland snddenly the resolve begins to weaken. I was 25 yards, butsijll a couple of hundred people away from the front when I finally realized what. a great fan of hockey I too was, and by gosh, there's the Hockey Hall of Faille. • Makingthe decision was tormenting, but when I hopped the barriede and sacrificed my spot in line, I felt like a man freed from prison. It is disappointing, that I won't see the Boss, but I'li. know better next tinie. 'Anybody got a down sleeping bag? If you read last week, you'll remember I was off to see ***** , the, tOoth doctor Friday. This time, he knew what he was —up-against---and-was-prepared.-My -mouth-was-frozen -for four hours afterwards, but I felt no pain as he poked about royinduth with that whining drill.
