MTS Centre ranks among 20 busiest in world

[bomberguy]

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).
The MTS Centre’s success through the first nine months of 2008 is significant considering the strength of the numbers for previous years. In all of 2005, the MTS Centre sold over 259,000 tickets, while in 2006 the facility sold just over 281,000 tickets. And with three months remaining in 2008, which will include such shows as Neil Young (Thursday), two nights of Celine Dion (Oct. 27 and 28), Lenny Kravitz (Oct. 29), the Backstreet Boys (Nov. 12), and Carrie Underwood (Dec. 2), the likelihood of record numbers in 2008 are very good.
