Led Zeppelin... anyone going?

[Bagpuss]

When Plant and Page tour nobody's that interested. But when they do the same songs but Call it Led Zeppelin people go mad. Strange

Yep, the 20 million people who applied for the 20,000 tickets are all wrong and as usual AtW is correct.

Who told you there were 20 mln people applying for tickets? Those marketing people can't understand web stats to save their lifes - any time you hear they mention "XX million hits" then you can be sure they have not got a clue what they are talking about.

Will it be like the Spice Girls tour where the tickets sold out to greedy touts who now can't give them away on eBay? I have visions of 'sell-out' concerts half full.

That's the funniest thing I've read today

It's true - I worked with marketing people for a long time - even now if you hear anyone like that speaking of "hits" in web site context you can be 100% he/she has not got a clue

"An estimated 20 million people rushed to register for tickets to see Led Zeppelin as soon as the band announced their reunion, promoters have said."

Read above my comments about web stats - unlike you I actually worked in this field and know that marketing people don't exactly seek the truth about unique visitors, they prefer the highest figure from those available.

I'm not disagreeing with you, for a change. You might have missed the sarcasm thing I prefaced my post with ...

As an internet marketer myself I'm pretty obsessed with things like unique visitors, average length of visit, average amunt of pages viewed, bounce rates (people who hit the back button straight away), entry and exit points and above all conversion rates.

I think you do have a point though - many offline marketing people don't have a clue about internet marketing..
