High ticket demand in London: Bringing it up to date

The occasion this year is a planned concert reunion of Led Zeppelin's members at the O2 arena on Nov. 26. Millions of people around the world have reportedly attempted to acquire tickets to this performance, which is said to be a one-off event not to be repeated. Secondary ticket sales prompted a response from promoter Harvey Goldsmith regarding who will and will not be admitted to the concert.
