La Stampa - 12 September 1984

The expected Clash concerts "cancelled

Reason: the stage of the municipal stadium was not safe - Bitter disappointment for six to seven thousand people A few moments of tension, but there were no riots - Tickets will be refunded today

An unpleasant surprise, last night, for the 6-7 thousand young people who flocked to the municipal stadium to attend the concert of the English band "The Clash". ' The expected performance of the five rock singers was suspended for safety reasons: the stage on the stadium track had not been set up according to law. So, after an inspection, the provincial supervisory commission decided that it did not give a favorable opinion for the performance of the show.

The irregularity found by the technicians referred to the metal supports that support the roof of the stage. According to the commission, these supports had been "raised" obliquely and could compromise the stability of the entire system.

We agree with the safety technicians - declared Luciano Casadei, on behalf of ARCI, one of the associations promoting the concert - and we respect their decision. It should be clarified that the cÛlpa is not ours, but of the private company that installed the system that is not in compliance with the regulations.

Already an hour before the start of the show, in front of the stadium there were some thousands of young people who also came from outside Piedmont. Three thousand had already bought 1 tickets (14 thousand lire each) in pre-sale, others in the ticket office of the stadium. As soon as the word got out that the concert was skipping, there were moments of tension, especially due to some agitation.

The massive presence of police, carabinieri and traffic police made the few troublemakers give up while most of the young people began to drift away between disappointment and bitterness. The organizers have hoped until the last to postpone the concert until today, but this was not possible due to previous commitments of the complex. All ticket holders will be able to obtain a refund by going to the same points of sale where they bought the ticket.

Those who bought the coupon at the stadium ticket office can be reimbursed by presenting themselves today, starting at 6pm, at the same ticket office.
