Led Zeppelin reuinion: Ticket pass-codes being sold online
Organisers say they will tackle those selling codes online
2 hours ago
Fans who were successful in the recent ballot to buy tickets for the Led Zeppelin reunion gig have started selling their ticket-buying access in online auctions today (October 2).
Successful applicants were issued a pass-code, which provided them with access to a web-page where they could buy the £120 tickets.
Some of these pass-codes are now being sold on auction sites like eBay, with auctions closing at figures of around £500 for one pass-code.
However, a spokesman for promoter Harvey Goldsmith, who is organising the reunion concert, has explained to NME.COM they are tackling these touts head on.
Those who registered for tickets must provide a full name and address matching the details that they originally registered for the ballot - meaning that the pass-codes would only work for the original person who registered.
There is also a series of security questions that will have to be answered before pass-code holders can buy tickets.
Furthermore, ticket-holders will have to present valid ID to gain access to the venue in November.
