I had always thought this song (especially the "please buy one") line, referred to the Glastonbury Fayre in 71', when there was nearly an terrible riot because people thought,like woodstock, they could come through the fences without buying a ticket. Hence, getting their heads cracked by police. And in the effort to stop the riot, Melanie had quickly come up with the lyrics or maybe it was a new song,and she added that line, please buy one, referring to buying a ticket, before anyone else got hurt. Sort of like, ok... Come on. let's just be cool. Buy a ticket so we can squash this shit and have a good time. I'm not 100% sure. But it makes sense. Anyone?
@fryguy82 it's very simple. There's a chance. A chance is a contest. So you buy a ticket to participate in that contest. She is saying, Buy a ticket for peace.

@fryguy82 it kinda makes sense but just a little: why tell people who are already in to buy a ticket?
