jcm Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have been a LZ fan since my university days in the early 70's ( attended the Earls Court concert). If someone offered you a ticket for £1000 - £3000 would you pay if you could afford it? I am not sure I would. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone offered you a ticket for £1000 - £3000 would you pay if you could afford it? I am not sure I would. John Well I've got a single ticket, but if I was brutally honest, if someone offered me that kind of cash and the ticket was actually transferrable (which it aint) I'd be sorely tempted. Especially as there is talk of a tour. Didn't someone pay £82k for a pair of tickets? Or was that tabloid rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willchaf Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have been a LZ fan since my university days in the early 70's ( attended the Earls Court concert). If someone offered you a ticket for £1000 - £3000 would you pay if you could afford it? I am not sure I would. John Well, since you've seen them already, it makes it easier for you to say no to that. For those of us who never did, that's a tough call. I'd be coming from the states, so the cost of the ticket is only part of the total cost it would take for me to get there, so 5KUSD for a ticket + Airfare ($600) + Lodging (~$300??) would buy me a ticket and, most certainly, a Divorce!!

warby Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Someone paid £26,223.00 on Ebay for 2 tix provided by Jimmy Page, but you do get to go to the after show party! If I were rich I would be happy to pay silly money for this gig, luckily I got tix in the ballot. Cheers Warby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sooty Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 How come people are selling tickets when the only way you could obtain one was by paying in advance & collecting on the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hot dog Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I am paying a fair bit to get in. It'll hurt financially for a few months (it'll hurt physically for a lot longer if the missus finds out how much... ) but I cannot miss it. The memories will last forever and I'll finally be part of that hard to join 'I've seen led Zeppelin' club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John My limit is $500 to $600 US$ for Zepp. ..maybe they will do a special 3 date affair at MSG, sort of like what Cream did a few years back. A few dates at Royal Albert, MSG, maybe Los Angelas. Why do all these rehearsals for one show, lauch a website(thanks by the way), these recent releases, going digitial...sounds suspicious to me. Is the genie out of bottle yet?

Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 At any chance to see 'em, for any amount of money ... I pretty much would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andmoreagain Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I love Zepp, but in all honesty the thought of even £125 is outrageous-maybe that makes me Led Wallet 2-but the amounts of money supposedly flying about for the show is vulgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the cost of the ticket stopped me from entering the ballot never mind travelling costs etc. The Children in Need auction tickets are ot only for the show but also the after show party and the soundcheck the day before the gig, or so I was told at the weekend.

sam Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Up till now, the most I have paid to see Zeppelin is $8.50. This will be the eighth, and probably last, time since 1971 that my wife and I will go to a Zep concert and yes would probably pay a lot more than we just did. It will be our first Zep concert since we were married in 1978, and the first time seeing them somewhere other than the Forum or Long Beach Arena, so that will be different. We are pretty fu#*in excited and since October second it's been like one long eternal Christmas Eve waiting for this. If I had never seen them in concert I would probably pay a few thousand a seat without question, because this would be a once in a lifetime event. (We will be spending a week in London, and the price of these tickets won't compare to what my wife will do to my wallet in seven days.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray Always Zeppelin Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 That would be about as reasonable as paying a million dollars for a ticket, because if I had that kind of money and a ticket were available, Hell Yeah I would in a minute!! For Sam... I hope you and your wife have a grand time at The Concert!!!!!!!! ($8.50 a ticket.... man, what a deal you got!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinTheSin Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 On our current budget, we'de never be able to afford it. We were picked from the lottery & are privliged enough to be able to attend this once in a lifetime reunion / tribute concert. However the date change costed us an extra $800 US funds. Ouch! We only live once. We love Led Zeppelin's music. However to more cash you have, the more you spend. If we had the cash, we'de spend it. It's not about the money. It's about what makes us happy...........You can't put a price on that! That's priceless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
