The rockers return: Led Zeppelin perform at the 02

Another concert goer said he saw touts paying £20 for ticket stubs and wristbands after the gig where Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones played together for the first time in decades.

Tony McLearie, 44, told a national newspaper: "It was bizarre - now I know why. But there's no way I'd sell, no matter how much I was offered."

Fans of the rockers had to enter an online ballot in a bid to get one of the 20,000 tickets available for the show.

25 million people logged onto the site in a rush, sending the venue's computers into meltdown with an incredible 100,000 hits a minute.

The rockers performed on November 26 in honour of Ahmet Ertegun, who died last year aged 63. Ertegun founded Atlantic Records and had a hand in all their careers.

Formed in 1968, the band sold more than 300 million albums in their hey-day and are thought to have earned £2.25million for their most recent one-off gig.

And while it was a night to remember for thousands of Led Zeppelin fans, it will probably stick in supermodel Naomi Campbell's mind for all the wrong reasons.

The 37-year-old was left shaken after an over-zealous fan tried to rip the VIP security pass from around her neck after the gig.
