"The Festival was well-organised, no real problems occurred" ???[edit]

The promoters were students without any experience, they did it as well as they could. And they had a lot of problems, for example with forged tickets and freaks, who damaged the fence to come in free of charge.--Zibaldone2 (talk) 10:30, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hauptstadion??[edit]

Sorry, the name of this stadium is neither Hauptstadion nor Reiterstadion, but REITSTADION.--Zibaldone2 (talk) 10:47, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the venue was indeed Hauptstadion. Reitstadion translated to English is "equestrian stadium", which is what Hauptstadion is! Please do your research before creating false accusations! Evangp (talk) 12:16, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please excuse my limited school-english! I don't want to create false accusations, but these are the facts: Hauptstadion (= main stadium) is only a technical term to differenciate between the bigger and the smaller equestrian stadium, that was built in the 90s. (I guess you found "Hauptstadion" as a keyword in the german wiki, and I just found this to my surprise! Obviously the ALRV promotes this new term to demonstrate its superiority relating to the "Tivoli". See also: Hauptstadion -Diskussion!! all in all: It is absolutely unusual to say: "We go to the Hauptstadion" People always say "we go to the Reitstadion or (sometimes) Reiterstadion or "to the Reitturnier". By the way: In the contract (I have got a copy of it!) between the promoters of the pop-festival 1970 and the ALRV you can find the term "Turnierplatz".

I propose: contemporary Hauptstadion formerly Reitstadion or Turnierplatz.--Zibaldone2 (talk) 20:47, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
