Tickets For LED ZEPPELIN Reunion Most In Demand In 2007 On Internet Auction Sites

March 6, 2008

BBC News reports that tickets for concerts by LED ZEPPELIN and TAKE THAT were the most in demand on Internet auction sites last year, according to research firm Tixdaq.

LED ZEPPELIN's gig at London's O2 produced the highest average ticket price at £707.97 despite measures to prevent resale, it said.

Tixdaq monitors secondary ticket sales on the websites.

Tixdaq spokesman Will Muirhead said secondary ticket exchanges had created a huge new market in the last couple of years.

"No wonder artists are concerned that they do not generally share in the proceeds," he added.
