The new Winnipeg arena the MTS Centre keeps packing them in, according to Pollstar Magazine, which says the Phone Booth is now the 19th busiest building in the world.
Through the first nine months of this year, the MTS Centre has sold 270,095 tickets. These ticket sales include only non-sporting events and do not include hockey games.
The arena now sits 11th among facilities in North America, its highest ranking ever, and it remains in third spot in Canada, after the Bell Centre in Montreal (fourth overall) and the Air Canada Centre in Toronto (third overall).
That's right busier than GM place!
