Led Zeppelin will be reforming for a one off gig at the London 02 Arena in London on November 26th. It’s definite, it’s been confirmed, and all the details of the concert are now solid.
Led Zeppelin will be the headline act at the gig, with a diverse range of performers including Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman And The Rhythm Kings, Foreigner and Paolo Nutini.
The one off show will raise money for the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund. This fund was created in honour of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun who died last year, and helps pay for university scholarships in the UK, US and Turkey.
Now here’s the biggie, details on ticket prices and how to get hold of them:-
Tickets for the show will cost a whopping £125 each and they are limited to two per person.
They will be assigned and distributed by ballot only so if you want in, you must register on Ahmettribute.com which every time I’ve tried to reach has been down.
It’s also been confirmed that Led Zeppelin will feature original members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, while Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham, will play drums.
So there we have it, the deal is signed and sealed, the truth is out, and Led Zeppelin are getting back together (albeit temporarily) to play live once more. But, the tickets costing £125 each is a shocker, and really puts the gig out of mine, and I’m sure many others price range.
As much as I’d like to see Led Zeppelin, I’m not willing to pay an amount which could get me a weekend camping and seeing about 50 bands at Glastonbury next year. Sorry guys but I won’t be one of the people registering for the luck of the draw ticket allocation.
The ballot thing on the other hand is quite good, as it stops touts and eBay sellers snatching up all the tickets in advance to sell on at an even more extortionate rate.
I’m glad they’re back, I’m not so glad that it looks like my chance of going to the gig are now slim to none. Maybe next time! Oh hang on, damn :(
What do you think? Are you glad they’re back? Do you want tickets? If so, does the price put you off? I’d love to hear your comments.

And for the guy who says he is a zeppelin fan that would not pay the money but would rather go camping is not a zeppelin fan. A true zeppelin fan would pay any thing. Zeppelin is forever and rules.

[...] the band would reunite and go on tour, which has still not come to pass with exception of their one time reunion concert in London next month to benefit the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund. However, despite the advancement [...]

I got the tickets! and I’ll be going from Pakistan. I think they’ve done a decent job with trying to cut down the scalpers/eBay people. Tickets have to be bought within 48 hours and tickets have to be picked up from the box office the day before or day of the concert with the credit card used to buy the ticket as well as a picture ID. So the earliest anyone can get the ticket on eBay will be the afternoon of the 25th or scalp it on the street. If you don’t buy your ticket by then, it’s given to the next person who’s name came up in the ballot.

Led Zeppelin?
They had better work on their show. Pete Townshend’s opening act is likely to blow them off the stage.
Long Live Rock!

I have not yet seen my email response published on your web page dealing with Zed Leppelin.
Has it been overlooked?
The message was about the coming show and its opening act.
Thanks,

The Moyer Foundation is offering tickets and hotel for the concert in their charity auction live and online this Saturday at Bidspotter.com. This is a fundraiser for a camp for bereaved children. Very worthy organization with a big heart to whom someone has donated their tickets to sell.

I’d fly from the States and pay more than that for a ticket. I’m crushed that I found out too late to even enter the drawing.
If anyone gets tickets and can’t find a home for them (yeah, right), I’ll take ‘em!:)
Crossing my fingers that they tour again…

I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE ZEPPELIN BUT NOT AT £125 I AINT.I RECENTLY SAW X2 SEX PISTOLS SHOWS, £37.50 AND THEY WERE BRILLIANT!!!
AS AN OLD PUNK THE OLD DINOSAURS LIKE ZEPPELIN ARE STILL “OUT OF TOUCH”.
ITLL BE A GIG FULL OF THE “RICH AND FAMOUS” AND NOTHING FOR THE WORKING-CLASSES.
WHAT ABOUT THE TRUE BRITISH WORKING-CLASS FANS WHO BOUGHT THEIR RECORDS? THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT ON A SERIES OF SHOWS FOR THE BRITISH GENERAL PUBLIC ONLY!
IM VERY SAD THAT ZEPPELLIN ARE STILL SWAYED BY THE BIG “MONEY” CONCERNS…ILL WAIT TILL 2008 AND GO AND SEE THE PISTOLS AGAIN, AT LEAST WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET.
STILL HOPE THE ZEP GIG GOES OK!
BRITISH MUSIC FAN.
