nov 13
LONDON (1972) - When tickets went on sale today for what will become Led Zeppelin's fifth and longest tour of the United Kingdom, the supply of 110,000 tickets was depleted within four hours.

Despite the freezing temperatures across the country, peopled lined up outside box offices and Harlequin Records locations to buy up all the tickets on sale.

"When I heard the news about the tickets, I felt very humble," said Jimmy Page.

The guitarist's modest stance constrasted from the gloating nature of band manager Peter Grant's response.

Replying to Chris Charlesworth's recent comment in the Melody Maker that "Their popularity has undoubteldy waned," Grant retorted, "So their popularity has undoubtedly waned, that's a bleedin' laugh!"

Ticket prices for all 24 shows are set for œ1 each, except for seats at the two Manchester Hardrock concerts, which sold at œ1.25 each.
