    Ebay have closed down all sales of Live 8 tickets after Geldof made a lot of noise about it.

    Tickets aren't required for the Philly show since it's going to be held on a street. Good thing I'm not interested in the majority of the Philly lineup, so I'm not even tempted to join the mob scene.

    Unfortunately, it means going ANYWHERE within 5 miles of downtown - including the Zoo - is out of the question. Sorry, Arlyn, we'll have to find somethng else to do that day. :(

    Two Dumb Questions (2DB):
    - if the tickets were given away for free, how did they raise any money for the charity?
    - what does the "8" in Live 8 signify (or does it just sound groovy and a bit like Live Aid)?

    Off topic: Rally - so the zoo is a reliable big hit with your kids too?

    Oh yeah, we have a membership to the zoo. It even allows us to brings guests...(hinthinthint ;) )

    Supposedly the purpose of this concert is to raise awareness more than money. I heard an interview where Bob Geldof was talking about what he learned from his mistakes the first time around.

    And the 8 signifies the G8 meeting, which will be happening in Scotland at the same time as the shows. Sir Bob wants the G8 leaders to alleviate African debt - so since they've already agreed to do so...

    They had a competition for tickets whereby people had to text in, and each text message resulted in so much going into the pot.

    As for 'Live 8' - It's a play on the original Live Aid, and, as has been said, higlights the context of the thing at the same time of the G8 summit.
