Largo (Special) — Fans of the vintage British rock group The Who got a second chance yesterday when Cellar Door productions announced that tickets were going on sale for a second concert Monday night at the Capital Centre.

The Who will appear tonight in its first concert in this region since August, 1976, as part of the group's current United States tour. Tonight's concert has been sold out for about three months.

Roughly 19,000 reserved-seat tickets for the Monday night concert went on sale at 3 p.m. yesterday at the Capital Centre. Tickets for the concert are $11 and $12.50, and are available at the Hecht Company and the Capital Centre box office 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. The administrative office at the Capital Centre indicated that some tickets "should be" available today.

Tonight's concert was sold on a reserved-seat-only basis, which Capital Centre officials said should insure that there will be no incidents like the one in Cincinnati December 7 in which 11 young Who fans were trampled to death as concertgoers stampeded when a gate was opened for the concert. The seating arrangement for that concert was "festival style," which means seats in the center of the arena are taken on a first-come-first-served basis. The fans crushed at the gate were killed by a mob eager to make it to the best seats in the arena.

The Who has a local history of fan hysteria. A concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion caused what Columbia residents remember as the worst traffic jam in the town's short history. A small riot occurred when fans who did not have tickets attempted to scale the fence surrounding the outdoor amphitheater, causing local police to resort to the use of tear gas.

The band is composed of four musicians — Peter Townshend, John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey and Kenney Jones — in their mid-30s. The first three have been making what has been considered some of the most exciting and important music in rock 'n roll for the last 17 years.

Drummer Kenney Jones has been a part of the group for little more than a year, joining after the death of Keith Moon, who died of an overdose of his anti-alcoholic pills.

One of the best tales to emerge from the current tour is Mr. Jones stating how the other three members were a bit put off when they found he didn't know how to play all of their songs. Far from a slouch with the group The Faces, Mr. Jones said: "How should I know them? I had a band of me own."

More active than ever since the death of Mr. Moon, the band released two movies this year, "The Kids Are Alright" and "Quadrophenia." Peter Townshend is now writing material for a studio album to be released next year.

The Who appear on the cover of Time magazine this week and in a comprehensive article that features every facet of the band members' lives and careers. An accompanying column about the tragedy in Cincinnati, after which lead singer Roger Daltrey reportedly cried,
