8/16/87 Concert Appearance

I bought and still have a concert ticket to see Y&T and Ace Frehley with GNR opening at Old World Beer Gardens in Corona, California for Sun. August 16, 1987.? My friends that did end up going and I got together last week for the first time in many years and this concert came up.? They told me at the time, but I had forgotten....Something about GNR being printed on the ticket wrong? Faster Pussycat was actually the opener.? Does anyone have any info as to what happened?? ?or a link maybe?? I dug out all of my concert stuff since it has been so many years and GNR is printed.? So is Ace Frehley's name spelled incorrectly.? The ticket says Freehley
Whats up with this??? ?Anyone hip to this??

I believe GN'R were on tour in Canada opening for The Cult around that date.

Wow, thats a really bizarrely specific and obscure question.  Sorry, I have no idea

One note about this time frame.
My brother was going into his freshman year of college in 1987 at the
University of San Diego.
My family and I went out there to help him move in the last week of August.
I had already bought Appetite and loved GnR.
While I was there, GnR was opening for the Cult at San Diego State (a different college nearby). I really wanted to go, but my mom and dad wouldn't let me since I was only 15 and didn't know the city at all. I'll always regret that since I love both bands.
Also on the same trip, I went to Tower records in Los Angeles and ended up buying a vinyl copy of Live Like a Suicide which I still have today. There were two copies at the time (and vinyl copies of Appetite with the banned cover) but I only had enough $$ to buy the one copy.
The good old days.
