music.guardian.co.uk — Promoter Harvey Goldsmith has branded eBay the "biggest rip-off merchants in the world" after tickets to the forthcoming Led Zeppelin gig appeared for sale. "I have begged them to take [the tickets] off and they have basically told us to f**k off. So I will do everything I possibly can to ruin their lives."

On one hand, I see what you're saying. On the other, all the good seats used to get gobbled up by the "camp out" nut jobs and I'd get stuck in the back. E-bay has allowed me to see TOOL 5 times this last year with in-f**kin'-credible seats every show.

"Pipex announced that a stampede of Led Zeppelin fans had not only crashed the ticket registration website, but their entire service, and claimed that this meant around 20 million people must have been attempting to purchase tickets at the same time."Let me just say: that is one bigass tube they've got there.

Who's ripping off who? If I was to go and pay, say, $2000 for a ticket to a show I really wanted to see, then I'd feel that the ticket was worth it. Why? Because I bought the damn thing. If it wasn't worth it, then I wouldn't have paid that much for it.People bitch about ticket prices, but they still pay for the damn things. If they really thought it was too much, they wouldn't buy the things. Simple free market. Deal with it.
