IT’S a whole lotta cash. VIP tickets for the Led Zeppelin reunion concert will go on sale tomorrow at a starting price of £2,500 each, writes Dipesh Gadher.

Three pairs for the sold-out gig at London’s O2 Arena will be auctioned for charity, with the price expected to push above £10,000 a pair.

The tickets, which include the after-show party, will become the most expensive for a concert.

Barbra Streisand charged up to £500 for top seats this year, while tickets to see the Rolling Stones at Twickenham in the summer sold for up to £150.

More than 1m people applied for tickets to see Led Zeppelin reform at the 20,000-seat arena, the first time the band has played a full concert since 1980.

Three original members - Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones - will be joined by drummer Jason Bonham, standing in for his late father John.

The one-off concert on December 10 is a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, the late founder of Atlantic Records, who signed the band in 1968. Led Zeppelin went on to become one of the most influential bands in rock history.

The auction is to be held on Seatwave.com, an online ticket exchange, in aid of the Action for Brazil’s Children Trust, of which Page is the founding patron.

“These are the private jets of tickets,” said Joe Cohen, head of Seatwave.
