Saw that they were doing a gig this morning. I wouldn't even bother trying to get tickets, they'll be riduculously extortionate. Thumbs Down

The agency won't even have owt to sell yet.

Shame how buying tickets has got like this, it's a bit depressing, and feels deeply unfair. But unfortunately it's not really illegal.

D'you reckon it'll be a good show with them being old an all?

You have to enter a bollot to be allowed to buy tickets so i dont get how the agencies can get hold of em.
I saw page & plant live at the reading festival in 1998 and they were brilliant then, have to say Jimmy page isn't looking so young these days tho. he seems to have turned into a silver haired old guy overnight!.
I think it'll be a great show, although i'm not sure half the crown will be bothered. they're probably only going so they can boast about it. Crying or Very sad

Same. Is it possible that folk could register on that site and then set up some sort of program to continously ping the site so that it slows it right down? Confused It's the sort of dirty bastard trick the fucking touts would play I bet.

dunno. registering doesn't actually guarantee you a ticket though. i believe the o2arena website has crashed as well.

I suspect a fair percentage of the tickets will already be squirrelled away for c-list 'celebs' to blag so they can 'be seen'.

I'll pass, for that kinda money. Saw Page&Plant back in '95 and they were excellent, don't see the addition of Jones making it all that much better.

I've entered my details several times, but it always seems to time out before I get the confirmation. Hopefully I'm in the list but I will keep trying untill I get the confirmation screen.

I can see me having to wait till I'm working nights and getting on there at 3am Smile

Its gonna be way oversubscribed so I dont suppose it really matters how long you have. They reckon that 80,000 people a minute were trying to get on at one point. Thats over 4 times the number of tickets available.

I love Led Zep but not THAT much.

Reckon I'll get me a big telly and wait till it comes out on DVD, watch it at home with me feet up, a few mates, a spliff and a glass of wine.

Sod lining Harvey Goldsmith's* pockets any further just for the sake of it.

*and various other scam-meisters who will get tickets and sell them for horrendous prices on ebay.



My taxi driver this afternoon says the tickets for VIP boxes are ALREADY going at £1300. He was bragging that he got four tickets to the Stones for £1400 apiece (which caused me to not tip him as well as I might do, if he likes to waste his hard-earned dosh like that, LOL)

I have better things to spend £1300 on, ta.

I've registered, but I know I can't actually afford it.

In the unlikely event I'm drawn, a BCF'er is welcome to my spot with no markup. Karma

I've not worked out how i'll pay if i do get selected. Donnu about the time off work either. I'll find the money somehow and take the time off unpaid. if they dont like it they can always sack me. i couldn't really care less what they think.

They have just said on the radio that there have been over 1,000,000 people registered already - guess I won't hold my breath. Confused
