Led Zeppelin Tickets Sell For £83,000 In BBC Charity Auction | Scots Defy ‘Tight’ Myth
A man from Glasgow in Scotland, has snapped up a pair of tickets for the Led Zeppelin comeback concert next month for £83,000 in a BBC organised charity auction.
Radio 4 host Terry Wogan held the auction in aid of Children in Need, the BBC money raising initiative for kids around the world. Over the four days it was active, the auction raised £894,000, with the Led Zeppelin tickets contributing almost 10% to the total.
Kenneth Donell was the lucky man who bid the most for the tickets. I say lucky, not only because he’ll be the envy of millions by actually going to the concert, but also because he has got enough money in the first place to bid such a stupidly large amount of money.
The tickets were only £125 each originally, but to get them you had to enter an online draw. Over a million people put their name down, with only the randomly selected 20,000 securing tickets.
Tickets were being sold on eBay but most auctions were shut after the promoters of the concert complained to the auction site.
