Update: LED ZEPPELIN Tickets 'May Be Refused'
October 6, 2007, 17 years ago
According to the BBC News, LED ZEPPELIN fans have been told they may be refused entry to the band's reunion gig if they paid for tickets using someone else's credit card. Several thousand people won a password allowing them to purchase tickets in a lottery draw earlier this week.
But promoters now say that tickets will be cancelled if the password holder's name is not the same as the one on the card used to pay for the tickets.
Fans have reacted angrily, claiming the terms changed after they made payments.
They say it was not made clear that the passwords were non-transferable in the initial email sent to ballot winners.
"There were no stipulations in respect of who could pay for, and thus claim, the tickets," wrote Dandu, from Canada, in an email to the BBC.
A second email, clarifying the terms and conditions, was apparently sent out several hours later - by which time many fans had already bought their tickets.
Promoter Harvey Goldsmith has defended the move on his website.
"It is painfully obvious that if the ticket is not transferable then the method of obtaining the ticket is not transferable either," he wrote.
