The deadline for fans to enter an online ballot for a chance to get tickets for a one-off Led Zeppelin reunion concert has been extended by 48 hours due to high demand.
The system was originally due to close at midday on Monday, but bosses have decided to extend it until midday on Wednesday, September 19 instead.
25 million applications have already been submitted for a chance to get the £125-a-head tickets since it was launched at 4pm on Wednesday.
People who have registered will be entered into a ballot and notified by October 1 if they have won a chance to buy a pair of tickets.
Concert promoter Harvey Goldsmith explained the extension, saying: "In order to ensure as many fans as possible are able to enter the ballot we have decided to extend the closing of the ballot from midday Monday 17 to midday Wednesday 19.
"To the thousands of fans that have already registered, we thank you for your support of the Tribute To Ahmet Ertegun Concert and we continue to do our best to ensure that tickets for this show go directly to you and don't end up in the hands of the unscrupulous touts."
