Organisers have revealed that 203,000 people have registered to try and secure a ticket for the Live Earth concert at Wembley Stadium.

Fans had just 72 hours between Friday and yesterday to enter all of their details into the ballot for the £55 tickets.

Those lucky enough to get one of the 60,000 tickets will be informed via text message tomorrow (April 18).

The British leg of Live Earth takes place on July and features the likes of Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bloc Party, Snow Patrol, Razorlight and Duran Duran on the bill.

Concerts will also be held in Johannesburg, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro and New York on the same day.

What a joke, climate change is already on the map, how is this going to stop the cutting down of rainforests and the melting of ice caps? The only thing it will do is add to it.. They will fly in the acts and people will drive to the venue in their cars causing more pointless travel. Great Stuff!!

Ebay it, yeah that’s fair. Thousands of music fans want tickets and idiots who don’t are getting them and flogging them for hundreds of pounds over what they cost to make money for themselves. Surely the whole point of this is to make money for charity. It makes me want to heave, and yes before anyone states the obvious I didn’t get chosen in the ballot but won’t be paying over the odds to line someone elses pocket!!!

Instead of going to the Live Earth concerts, come to the Counterconcerts. Instead of driving or flying to the nearest megaconcert, walk or use public transport to the center of your own home town. Instead of wasting megawatts on enormous speakers, and megadollars bringing stars to the place, use your iPod or favorite MP3 player. For more info, see http://www.1iveearth.org
