Hear me. What I would have done in the same situation is to have sold it to someone on here at face value (£125/$250) and asking them to come as my guest for the evening. The hardest decision would have been deciding who to select. That way I would have taken immense pleasure in possibly making someone's dream come true and at the same time making a friend for life and this would be the only 'gain' that I would have made from Led Zeppelin.

TheZeppyWanderer Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 whatever. i tried to do something nice by offering a ticket to people who would be interested. i could have given it to a scalper/tout. that would be hilarious - if it wasn't so ridiculous You messaged me and said " Basically I would like to make at least 2,000 " - in what way are you different from a tout then ?

jimmysfinger Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 i have to laugh at all of you. that's what's so great about message boards. you can talk and talk til your face turns blue and it doesn't make a shitload of difference beacuse you're not talking to anyone who cares. to those of you who still want tickets, i would try calling ticketmaster, as we met people today who actually RETURNED one. we stood right there as it was happening. additionally, there are people at the venue who ARE selling tickets.
