Also in high demand, though he's playing a much smaller venue, were tickets for an upcoming one off Paul McCartney gig at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.
Promoters of the show, which will take place on 19 Apr, say the 4000 tickets for the gig were sold in just seven seconds when they went on sale last month. That's 600 seats a second. While I don't deny the demand for a show like this, I'm not sure it's actually technically possible to sell 4000 tickets in seven seconds, but there you go. A spokesman for the show's promoter said the relatively intimate (by his standards) Macca gig would be "a night like Vegas has never seen before".
