Tickets are limited as there's a finite amount of space? How does setting a limit on the number of tickets (which would be the case for any other concert) limit the number of people that the Live 8 message is able to reach? These concerts and the political aims/fallout have been headline news for the last few weeks. The London gig will be broadcast globally to an audience of hundreds of millions, they're estimating 28 million will be watching the BBC feed in the UK alone. Where is the limit on the number of people that the Live 8 message can reach?
