September 14, 2007

Popular UK news program "Newsnight" on BBC2 aired a report on the LED ZEPPELIN reunion which also included a short feature on top UK tribute act LETZ ZEP. Watch the seven-minute segment below.

Lars Brandle of Billboard.com reported earlier today that organizers of the LED ZEPPELIN-headlined Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert on Nov. 26 in London have extended the registration deadline in the wake of "unprecedented demand" for tickets.

The ballot has now been extended from a midday Sept. 17 close to midday Sept. 19, after the Web site set up to handle ticket registrations received 89.5 million attempts in a 12-hour period yesterday (Sept. 13).

Since confirmation Wednesday of the one-off LED ZEPPELIN comeback at London's O2 Arena, the online service has had 80,000 requests each minute, at one point causing the system to crash, according to a spokesman.

Just 18,000 tickets, priced at $250, will be distributed to applicants on a lottery basis, capped at two tickets per household.
