They're due to confirm a one-off concert at the O2 Arena sometime today.
 
So what are the chances of getting a ticket for that?

It is generally accepted that the Collins live aid collab was horrible, but the "Plant & Page UnLedded."gig in 1994, with those Moroccan musicians on MTV, was a bloody master class in brilliance. For such a gig I would crawl across burning coals.

Can't find the link as I read it via a forum post that had apparently come from an e-mail about the gig, but this 02 gig is meant to be a one-off and tickets cost £125. You apparently have to put your name down on some list before you even stand a chance of getting a ticket, anyway.
 
I've seen the Live Aid performance; it's not at all good, in fact, IMHO, it's very poor. Phil Collins cannot be blamed for it. Jimmy Page has blamed him in at least one interview I've seen but Page and Plant were all over the shop too.
 
The 'Unledded' material was superb, yeah. What Page and Plant did there was very brave; rather than being content to rest on their laurels (which, in fairness, Plant has never done, and has continued to make fine solo work over the years), they rearranged the old warhorses. I remember seeing them play on 'Later With Jools Holland' around the time of the album and they almost raised the roof when they did songs like (from memory; haven't seen it for about 12 or 13 years) 'Gallow's Pole' and 'Four Sticks' .

It's TRUE - Led Zeppelin to Reform!
 
 
 
There will be a one-off gig for 18,000 fans at London's 02 Arena in November, Harvey Goldsmith has suggested tickets will be £100+..... available by lottery draw. Confused

The BBC confirm it too on their BBCi service.

BBC says it is a one off concert to pay tribute to the late founder of Atlantic Records or something like that.

I've managed that twice so far. I'm assuming they'd send a confirmation email since you have to type in your email address but I've not had one so I'm going to keep trying.

I'm having no luck registering for the chance of a ticket. Even if you register successfully, I've just read that so far there's 1000 applicants for every ticket available, and the site's only been on line for a day. Even if no one else applies, the odds of 1000 to 1 against being one of the lucky 18000 are hardly instilling a sense of optimism. Still, you gotta be in it to win it, eh?

Keep plugging away at that website. I was getting nowhere all day then suddenly I got in quite quickly. It doesn't say how long you have to apply so you can keep trying over the next few days.
1000 to 1 eh? Well that's a lot better than the lottery anyway.

Cor! You done well Chopper, I've been trying most afternoon / evening and still haven't managed to get on that site.Cry
I think the lottery starts just getting on the site in the first place.
Of course I'm going to keep trying but boy it's taking ages...



Does anyone know if these sites are a con or something?

Hey, the whole concert's a tribute to the late boss of Atlantic Records, Ahmed Ertegun, isn't it? I've heard that Pete Townshend and Paolo Nutini (?) will also be appearing, but since we're talking about Atlantic: why didn't anyone ask Yes?

or the Yes-men never forgot that Ahmed dropped them after Time and Word but was talked into giving them one more album.
