"The organizers of this summer&amp;apos;s Woodstock\nextravaganzas -- in upstate New York and Vienna, Austria -- don&amp;apos;t\nhave much peace, love and understanding for gatecrashers. \n\nAs some will remember, the attendees of the original (1969) and\nfaux (1994) Woodstocks were supposed to pay for breakfast in bed on\nMax Yasgur&amp;apos;s Farm, and for the privilege of firing mud at\nGreen Day, but only the squares and buttheads did.\nNow, Michael Lang and John Scher,\nwho are promoting this year&amp;apos;s 30th anniversary European and U.S.\nversions of Woodstock respectively, are &amp;quot;confident&amp;quot; that any\nchildren of God who don&amp;apos;t pay will be sent walking along the\nroad.\n\nWithout divulging the design of their security system, Lang says\nthe guarded areas on both sites will be &amp;quot;taller and more\nsubstantial&amp;quot; than previous enclosures and &amp;quot;decorative and\nenvironmentally pleasing&amp;quot; as well. Scher adds, &amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re confident we\nhave a security plan where we&amp;apos;ll be able to maintain the integrity\nof the outer perimeter and I think it will become self-evident when\nwe tell people what it is.&amp;quot;\n\n\nLang says willing patrons morphed into gatecrashers five years ago\nbecause tickets were not available on site, a gaffe that will be\nrectified for both Woodstocks this time around. Tickets for the\nfestivals, similar to the &amp;apos;94 Woodstock, will cost around $135,\naccording to both organizers.\n\nThus far, virtually every A-list music act has been asked to\nperform at one or both Woodstocks, including Page/Plant,\nMarilyn Manson, Guns n&amp;apos; Roses, Nine Inch Nails, Aerosmith, Pearl\nJam and the Beastie Boys, according to\nvarious managerial sources. Scher offered a &amp;quot;no comment&amp;quot; on what\nacts have been invited to perform, however Metallica, Iggy\nPop, Skunk Anansie, Anouk and Faithless\nare all confirmed to play at least the Vienna version. Lang says an\nestimated 80 to 100 bands are expected to play over the three day\nfestival in Vienna and 40 to 45 bands in Saugerties, N.Y. (site of\nthe &amp;apos;94 event), or another location two-hours north of Saugerties,\non July 26-28."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
