LED ZEPPELIN Tickets Still Available... Sort Of
November 2, 2007, 17 years ago
Just when you thought LED ZEPPELIN tickets were gone, LedZeppelinTickets.com comes to the rock and roll rescue just in time for the holidays!
Alright, so these tickets won't get you into the band's forthcoming benefit show at the O2 Arena in London, now slated for December 10th... but it's more than likely they'll provide a lifetime of happiness and enjoyment adorning your wall of fame.
Now's your chance to own a super collectible ticket plaque featuring tickets from Zeppelin's slated performances at Chicago Stadium in November of 1980.
Or, of course, you can send as a memorable gift to your Led Zeppelin-loving friends!
Devout fans know the unfortunate and tragic story of the late and great John Bonham. On September 24th, 1980, it was announced by Chicago radio stations that tickets for four Zeppelin shows (November 10, 12, 13 & 15) would be going on sale the next day via a special mail-order form in the Chicago Tribune. On the day of sale, the excitement was extinguished as fans would learn of the sudden and tragic passing of John Bonham. The shows never happened, yet these tickets were printed for these appearances. The original Zeppelin as we knew it was done...
In 1986, Metro Pulse Inc. acquired them from Chicago Stadium and the rest is (even more...) history.
Earlier this year, VH1 Classic was so impressed with the offering that they did a major promotion with LedZeppelinTickets.com in conjunction with the station's airing of the classic movie, The Song Remains The Same. Dozens of lucky winners now possess a rare ticket plaque as a result.
In addition, the ticket plaques were featured giveaways on the popular nationally-syndicated radio show, Nights with Alice Cooper. The show's contest generated more than 1,700 entries and was easily the show's most popular contest to date. You can hear Alice's classic promo on the LedZeppelinTickets.com site! He pretends to be fan who's been in line for the Zeppelin show since 1980! "I have a ticket... when's the show?"
