As another
decade closes, Metro Pulse, Inc. and LedZeppelinTickets.com would like to wish
you and yours peace, love, happiness, health and prosperity in the new year.
In
recognition of what will be the 30th anniversary of Led Zeppelin's four slated
shows at Chicago Stadium (November 10th, 12th, 13th and 15th, 1980), Metro
Pulse, Inc. has created a new "movie" of sorts regarding the history of these
collectible tickets and their new offerings.
Of course,
these four shows never happened as, ironically, the world came to find out about
the passing of legendary Zeppelin drummer John Bonham on the same day the four
shows went on sale - September 25, 1980.
Led
Zeppelin remains one of the greatest bands in the history of rock, which was
further exemplified by their reunion show two years ago featuring Robert Plant,
Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham.
The Guinness
Book of World Records just recognized that an incredible record was set when
tickets went on sale in September of 2007 for the December 10, 2007 Led Zeppelin
show at London's 02 Arena. An unbelievable 20 million people attempted to enter
an online lottery to get a pair of the 18,000 tickets that were being offered
for the one-time performance.
A new decade
is on the horizon and Metro Pulse, Inc. plans to help keep the Zeppelin legacy
alive by continuing to offer the original tickets for what was to be Zeppelin's
last four shows.
All the best
in 2010.
Ramble on and
stay tuned. Cheers-

September 24th, 1980 - a day that
lives in infamy for many Led Zeppelin fans. It was a day when Chicago radio stations announced that concert tickets
for four November Led Zeppelin shows would go on sale the following morning. As this was their first U.S. tour since
1977, fans jumped at the opportunity to see one of rock and roll's greatest bands. But in order to see the shows,
the concert tickets could only be purchased through a special order form that would be featured the next day in the
Chicago Tribune.
On the morning of the 25th, paper outlets were swarmed
with fans eager for their chance to buy Led Zeppelin tickets. After all, these particular concert tickets were to be
exclusively printed for this special concert series, and would surely become an important piece of Led Zeppelin memorabilia.
However, an unexpected turn of events would extinguish the excitement that had surrounded the city. Fans soon got word
that on the evening of September 24th Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham, suffered a sudden and tragic death. On the
decision of remaining members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, the concerts never happened, these historical
pieces of Led Zeppelin memorabilia were never sold, and the Led Zeppelin era had come to its untimely end. The frenzy
created by news of the Led Zeppelin tickets was gone as fast as it had come.
Six years passed while the unused concert tickets
sat in the now demolished Chicago Stadium, until Metro Pulse, Inc. acquired the entire quantity as music memorabilia.
Today, the concert tickets are a vital piece of Led Zeppelin memorabilia. While their worth is well noted by music
memorabilia experts, the real value comes from owning a true piece of rock and roll history.
With nearly 30 years gone by since that fateful day,
the anticipation surrounding the sale of the Led Zeppelin memorabilia is finally over. The remaining collector tickets
are now available to rock memorabilia fanatics everywhere. The Led Zeppelin tickets can be acquired through Metro Pulse,
Inc. and are available in various collector tickets editions. An important part of any music memorabilia collection,
these Led Zeppelin tickets are each issued with a certificate of authenticity, are hand-signed and numbered limited
editions, and are guaranteed - ensuring the integrity of your rock memorabilia compilation. The concert tickets are
rare items and are considered a tribute to the legend and long history of Led Zeppelin and its members: Robert Plant,
Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones.
An essential addition to any collection of Led Zeppelin
memorabilia, these Led Zeppelin tickets are available right now. But as many people say, "History repeats itself." Don’t
let these tickets pass you by as quickly as they did for fans nearly three decades ago.
