OZZY Fans Give Blood To Get Tickets

July 30, 2004

John Welsh of The Press-Enterprise is reporting that pleasant and patient headbangers donated blood in record numbers in hopes of scoring a coveted ticket for Ozzfest, Saturday's all-day concert at the Hyundai Pavilion in Devore, California.

"We've got to be nice — they're the ones with the needles," joked Sean Flora, 18, of Riverside, snacking on Ritz Crackers 'n Cheez minutes after providing a pint of plasma.

Flora was one of about 1,260 Inland people who donated Wednesday on Day 2 of the 23rd Annual KLOS 95.5 FM blood drive.

He scored a voucher for a $50 lawn seat and a pass to Ozzfest featuring new acts such as SLIPKNOT and hard rock standbys JUDAS PRIEST and BLACK SABBATH.
