I was living in Germany in 1988 when tix for the Monsters of Rock went on sale several mos. in advance. Back then it was common to camp out in front of the record store for hot concert tix. My sister got us tix for the second night at the Meadowlands. But after a few weeks they hadn't sold enough tix, so they canceled the second show, which left us scrambling for the bad tix left for the first night. We ended up sneaking into some great seats while only paying for the worst seats in the house. But that had to suck for the others.
