Led Zeppelin Ticket Controversy
Ok unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months then you must know about the upcoming one off reunion of Led Zeppelin. Well I've been keeping tabs on the concert for the past few months and recently I read that promoter Harvey Goldsmith is threating to cancel the show because some winners of the ballet system are reselling their tickets on ebay for 10 times the original cost. Ok before I put in my 2 cents on the issue I would like to say that Harvey Goldsmith is a very great man. He is one of the top rock promoters in the world and is know for helping put together Live 8 with Bob Geldof where Pink Floyd reunited. But I think he is going over the edge with this concert. I mean if you spent 500 dollars on the pair of tickets and want to sell them why shouldn't you. And canceling the show just to stick it to those fans selling the tickets is a bit extreme and unfair to the other fans that bought their tickets fair and square. What do you think?

This was obviously going to happen, it's just like the Live8 lottery.

Led Zeppelin are only doing 1 gig, which alienates many fans as they cant go or won't win the ballot.

Some people entered the ballot in order to sell their tickets on eBay for extortionate prices.

Many people, including myself, foresaw this problem from the outset, and I think Mr Goldsmith has well and truely cocked this one up.

I was bound to happen, what the hysteria about Led Zep reuniting, although Harvey Goldsmith hasn't exactly helped the situation. I think that cancelling the concert because tickets have been sold on the internet is a stupid idea and he would never do it as it would disappoint all the Zeppelin fans that have been looking forward to the concert.

RE: Led Zeppelin Ticket Controversy
im just wondering how much of a say he has in the issue of canceling the show...isn't it Page's or Plant's choice if they want to cancel the show...he can bail out of the project sure...but i doubt he can cancel the show

Yeah, but chances are LZ will do whatever Goldsmith advises.
