[wheelyjo]

hi, im just about calm enough now 2 tell my little story of the final nite......as a huge bb fan [as we all r on this site] u can imagine my pure delight wen a friend rang up 2 offer me some tickets 4 the big nite..........

i thought wow! im finally going 2 experience the atmosphere of the specticle that is bb.....something that i had really enjoyed and followed avidly [no pun intended] 4 the past 3 summers........

i cuud hardly contain my joy as my friend told me that she wud ring the studios and let them no i was in a wheelchair........

4 the orgganisers it was as if my friend had uttered the worst of swear words [which wud at least warrant lengthy bird song on e4!]

she was informed that it was not even worth me going down 2 q as the max number of wheelchair spaces were filled.....

how many were there she asked, a poultry 3 came the reply 3 out of about 2000 is pethetic i think youll agree

i understand about fire regs and all, but not even to b given the chance 2 q is, i think, 2 quote alex DISGUSTING IT TAKES AWAY ALL SPONTANEITY

i think that it is particularly bad given that it is a new complex and access provisions cud have bn thought out more.....even the lucky 3 were stuck up on a platform with 1 other person with them [hardly part of the crowd which half the fun ]

my point is that no other section of society wud b so flatly denied the chance 2 get in - and yes i no none of the the tickets are garanteed -

im sick of just taking it, and think something shud and cud b done

what do you think pls tell me
