Meet your host for the Led Zeppelin Concert:
Rock N Roll Memorabilia Company, Metro Pulse Inc.
When the Led Zeppelin concerts of 1980 were cancelled at the Chicago Stadium, the unsold tickets to the shows were put into storage. Memorabilia expert and Zeppelin fan Michael Dehn began to pursue the tickets in 1980. After six years, Dehn managed to reach an agreement with the Chicago Stadium Corporation to purchase all 80,000 of the Zeppelin concert tickets, to one day make them available to Rock Music Collectors everywhere.
What Michael knew was that the rock collectibles market would grow tremendously throughout the 80's and 90's. While storing the tickets, Dehn built up Metro Pulse to be a leader in memorabilia and rock 'n' roll artifacts.
"Why did I buy 80,000 tickets to a concert that will never happen? To begin with, I saw Zeppelin concerts six times live at the Chicago Stadium. That includes all three tours, 1973, 1975 and 1977. I lived it and was devastated when John Bonham died the day we were to send in our checks and money orders for the November 1980 shows.
This is where my fascination with these tickets began. I realized that Zeppelin tickets for past tours were by far the hottest concert ticket of the 70's and I knew there must be value in them.
"After I bought the tickets, I didn't know what I was going to do with them, I guess I figured they'd be worth something some day."
