They are fireworks - how are you going to stop people outside the payzone from seeing them? 500-foot high screens?

And that's how the Crystal Palace lost money hand over fist in its' later years-Brock's massive firework displays being viewed by a few hundred paying punters, and tens of thousands of 'free admissions' across the rest of South London, Metropolitan Kent, and the higher parts of Surrey!

Hopefully, someone can organize free viewing points well outside the ticketed area this time, too, for those unable to settle for watching it on widescreen TV in their own living rooms.
