Two Led Zeppelin tickets: $170,000
All you parents whining about Hannah Montana tickets (see Page 33) should know how lucky you are that your kids aren’t into Led Zeppelin. A Glasgow man on Thursday took the phrase "buying a stairway to heaven" to new extremes by paying $170,000 at a charity auction for a pair of tickets to Led Zep’s one-off reunion gig in London on Dec. 10, the BBC reports. Kenneth Donell also won the right to watch the band rehearse the day before and receive a signed memento. (Unless that memento is a Porsche, he probably got ripped off.) Proceeds benefitted the Children in Need charity.

"gypped"? Perhaps you're not aware, but this is a racist term.
