Ten Thousand Motels Moncton residents fret about Rolling Stones show

Moncton -- Not everyone thinks the Rolling Stones are the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world.

About 300 people who live near the planned concert site at Magnetic Hill, outside Moncton, N.B., met with organizers at a public meeting this week, denouncing the road closures and parking plans that will restrict their movements for the Labour Day weekend.

About 85,000 Stones' fans are expected to attend one of the largest outdoor concerts ever organized in New Brunswick on Sept. 3.

Area residents have been told they will need a special pass to access their homes before the barricades go up Sept. 1 and guests will need a pass and a concert ticket if they want to visit them.

"Nobody is happy about being locked in or out of their homes," resident Bob Fudge told concert organizers.

"You invited 85,000 people here without our consent. You don't trust us; we don't trust you," he said to loud applause.

Charles Crossman, a member of a residents' committee created to deal with local concerns, warned there could be acts of civil disobedience to protest restrictions.

"You're upsetting the whole community for the sake of a concert," he said.

Earlier in the week, city officials released a traffic and parking plan for the concert that provided space for 27,000 vehicles. Shuttle services will be available from surrounding parking lots, but organizers warned regular ticket holders will still face a 1.5 kilometre walk to the concert site.

Demand for concert tickets has been so great that organizers put another 10,000 on sale Friday morning.

The first Canadian date for the Stones is Aug. 28 in Ottawa. The tour also includes stops in Toronto, Calgary and Montreal. CP
