A Led Zeppelin fan with far too much money has paid £83,000 for two tickets to the legendary band's much hyped reunion gig. Let's hope it lives up to the hype. Radio 2 listener Kenneth Donnell pledged the rather large sum of money to see the band rehearse and attend the totally sold out reunion concert as part of a Children In Need auction. But if you think that's a rather mad thing to do, one Martin Ainscough from Wigan bid £250,000 to have Katie Melua and Aled Jones perform at a place of his choosing. He chose to have them play for another charity project - at a Manchester gig in aid of The Princes Trust. Not sure why he didn't just give the £250,000 to The Princes Trust and save everyone the trial of having to listen to Melua and Jones, but what do I know? And it is all for the children I suppose.
