As you know by now, Swedish House Mafia’s One Last Tour tickets went on sale — and sold out — in record time this morning. Want to know how long it took them to sell out all those shows?
Starting on the East coast, the Swedes were able to sell out their first two New York shows at MSG and the Barclays Center in under eight minutes. A second show was added and has already sold out, while there are tickets still available for the third show on March 4th.
SHM’s first show in Chicago at the United Center sold out in an astounding five minutes. We’re told they sold 14,000 tickets, which would mean 2,800 tickets per minute, or about 46 per minute.
In San Francisco, the first show at Bill Graham Civic Center sold out in just one minute, forcing the group to add another three nights — two of which sold out in the first hour.
Finally, Masquerade Motel LA sold a whopping 35,000 tickets in the first 30 minutes, with “a second and final” LA show added on Friday March 8th. Tickets for the second show will go on sale Friday October 5th at 10AM Pacific.
What Swedish House Mafia was able to accomplish with this One Last Tour is nothing short of astounding. Let’s all hope they blow our minds with incredible sets, amazing energy, and a top-notch production that makes it well-worth the price of admission.
Something tells us we’re in for a treat.
