Led Zeppelin reunion promoter Harvey Goldsmith has vowed to fight the ticket touts that are already re-selling tickets and codes to buy tickets for the band's much hyped reunion, part of the tribute event being held in honour of the late Atlantic Records' boss Ahmet Ertegun.
Despite Glastonbury-esque precautions being taken over the sales of tickets themselves, the codes that allow people to buy the tickets have already begun to appear on online auction sites such as eBay, fetching as much as £500 per code - even though the code only allows you to purchase two tickets, they are not the tickets themselves.
But Goldsmith has warned fans who lost out on the actual lottery for tickets against trying to gain access to the gig via the auction site route. He told reporters: "No tickets are being issued until the day before the show. Every name that was selected at random has a code attached to it. Those people that were selected were given that pass code - they had to follow the instructions on how to pay for those tickets. Unless the pass code and the original name match up, those people who have bought those tickets on eBay or anywhere else will not be allowed in. You have to turn up with your ID and pass code to collect your ticket, unless all three pieces of information match, you will not be allowed into the concert and you certainly won't get a ticket".
So that's you ticketless Zeppelin fans told, then. All of those who entered the lottery for tickets who have been successful have now been notified to that effect, and told how to go about buying their tix.
