Still waiting for that e-mail saying that you won a passcode to buy tickets for Led Zeppelin's reunion show in London? Well, fear not—the always-hot "secondary market" has a bunch of passcodes for sale, and if you're the lucky winner of one of the auctions for passcodes currently raging (highest "buy it now" price: £1,000, with no extra shipping charges), you can spend even more money on ... well, you may not be able to buy anything if the promoter of the show, Harvey Goldsmith, has its way:
Those who registered for tickets must provide a full name and address matching the details that they originally registered for the ballot - meaning that the pass-codes would only work for the original person who registered.
There is also a series of security questions that will have to be answered before pass-code holders can buy tickets.
Furthermore, ticket-holders will have to present valid ID to gain access to the venue in November.
No word on whether or not ticketholders would also have to answer a series of questions pertaining to their favorite sports teams and breakfast-food preferences before they got to actually plant their asses in their seats. But I bet the lines to get into the venue are going to be atrocious—get there super-early if you want to see Paolo Nutini!

I applaud the ID check. Won't stop people from selling passcodes unfortunately, but at least those who try have a greater chance of being outed online.
It's uncomfortable to even have this lottery in the first place, but it's not as if you can force Led Zep to play 1000 dates to accomodate everyone.
