Think Hannah Montana tickets are expensive?
Earlier this week, Kenneth Donnell from Glasgow paid the unbelieveable sum to watch the band rehearse and perform in the one time gig this December.
The proceeds benefited the BBC’s annual Children in Need charity drive.
Tickets for the concert were only about $250 face value, but over 1 million people submitted requests for tickets. Only 20,000 tickets were awarded.
Led Zeppelin split in 1980 following the death of drummer John Bonham. Bonham died from suffocation after a drinking binge.
The group’s lead singer Robert Plant Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones, with Bonham’s son Jason on drums, will headline the act.
The concert is a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, the late founder of the Atlantic Records label. He signed the group in 1968. Led Zeppelin have sold more than 300 million albums worldwide and the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
As part of his purchase / donation, Donnel will get tickets for the show, be invited to a private rehearsal the day before, and will also receive a signed piece of memorabilia.
Unless it’s a check for about $190,000 - I think he overpaid!
