LED ZEPPELIN Fans Urged Not To Buy Ticket Codes

October 3, 2007

Gigwise.com reports that LED ZEPPELIN fans have been warned by concert promoter Harvey Goldsmith not to buy any ticket codes from successful ticket holders.

Codes are already fetching upwards of £500 (approximately $1,017) on eBay for the one-off 02 Arena gig in London on November 26, but Goldsmith — the man behind such events as Live Aid — says security measures will prevent you from going to the gig if you buy one.

He told xfm: "The situation is simple. Whoever buys the pass-code is going to have a very rude shock when they turn up to collect the tickets because because unless their visual photo I.D., the pass code and the original name that the pass code was issued in all match, they will not get in.

"We're also identify the pass codes being sold and they are gonna be cancelled. Anyone that's left on the list, the computer program will go through it again and select the next bunch and we'll keep doing this until it stops.

"It is seriously important to understand that anybody buying from eBay or any other sites we're digging up is going to be very sadly disappointed and very a lot out of pocket so please don't buy it because you will not get into the concert."
