Report: LED ZEPPELIN Fans Are Victims Of Ticket Clampdown

October 8, 2007

A massive 84% of Gigwise.com readers believe that LED ZEPPELIN fans are the victims of Harvey Goldsmith's ticket code clampdown.

On Tuesday — a day after the results of the ballot were announced — concert promoter Goldsmith announced stringent measures which prevented successful ballot winners from selling their tickets on to others seemingly to stop touts.

However, this has come under harsh criticism from many fans who claim that this was not stipulated properly beforehand and that it is themselves who are being penalized — not the touts whom Goldsmith is seemingly trying to stop.

Out of over 2,000 people polled over the past five days, 84% said that the fans were the casualties of the system, while only 9% said the touts were the victims. 5% said both were victims while the remainder were unsure.
