There were many different passes , in fact they changed more than daily, as the organsers frantically attempted to try to restrict access to the press enclosure and the stage, a forlorn hope as it turned out . I've only seen the one version of the ticket. If you have an intact one ( the one below is a composite of two stubs ) in good condition , they are worth a LOT of money (see below).
Colour copies of the passes and small ticket were provided by Chris Jones , to whom I extend my grateful thanks. Large ticket kindly provided by John Bell ,cheers John !
