Tickets For U2
World Tour Stop at Charlotte Bobcats Arena SOLD OUT
Over 17,000 Tickets Sold in 59 minutes
(April 23, 2005) -- Tickets for the December 12,
2005 U2//Vertigo World Tour stop at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena sold out today
in less than one hour.
The concert, which was announced earlier this week by the Charlotte Bobcats
organization along with tour promoters The Next Adventure and Cellar Door
Concerts, is the first event to go on sale for the Charlotte Bobcats Arena.
This is the Irish rock band’s only appearance in the Carolinas.
U2//Vertigo has broken ticket sales records in almost every city in which
it has gone on sale. In New York, ticket demand resulted in eight sold-out
performances at Madison Square Garden. Chicago has six sold-out events,
and in Boston U2 will perform a total of seven sold-out events this year.
In Toronto, fans were quick to sweep up tickets for four performances
in just 45 minutes, and additional quadruple performances are confirmed
for concerts in Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
The U2 Tour is presented and produced by The Next Adventure, a division
of Clear Channel Entertainment, RZO Productions and Cellar Door Concerts.
The Charlotte Bobcats Arena is scheduled to open in Fall 2005 and will be
home to the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats and the WNBA’s Charlotte
Sting. The state-of-the-art arena is located in the center of Charlotte,
N.C., and will host more than 125 events a year including sports, concerts
and family entertainment.
