April 23, 2005 - Tickets for the December 12, 2005 U2//Vertigo World Tour stop at the New Charlotte Arena sold out today in less than one hour. Over 17,000 tickets were sold in 59 minutes.

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."
