Led Zeppelin promoter wishes eBay would 'drop dead and die'

Harvey Goldstein vows to ruin online auctioneers lives for allowing touting of reunion tickets. And he has little sympathy for genuine fans caught in the crossfire Promoter Harvey Goldsmith has branded eBay the quot;biggest rip-off merchants in the world quot; after tickets to the forthcoming Led Zeppelin gig appeared for sale on the online auction website.

Goldsmith, who helped convince the band to reunite for a one-off show this November, told Kerrang! Radio yesterday: quot;I wish eBay would drop dead and die... I have begged them to take off and they have basically told us to off. So I will do everything I possibly can to ruin their lives. quot;

The promoters harsh words follow the news that fans who purchased tickets to the gig, taking place November 26 at Londons 02 Arena, on someone elses credit card may be refused entry. Those fans who won the right to buy tickets were issued with a password to validate their purchase, but it was announced at the weekend that they may be cancelled if the password holders name did not match the credit card holders name.

( they didn't get any and only a small minority did ) and now anger and recrimination.
What a pity this has happened - many fans feel let down and disappointed at not getting tickets ( as John Cleese said in 'Clockwise' - it's not the despair - it's the hope' )
Was it worth it ?
Better perhaps to have had a Whole Lotta Love for them as we happy few remember them ?
