AC/DC Sell Out London Gig In Four Minutes
October 13, 2003AC/DC sold more than 4,000 tickets for a one-off U.K. show in just four minutes, according to Sky News.
The band are playing their smallest British gig for 17 years with a show at London's Carling Apollo in Hammersmith on October 21.
The show — for which all the theatre's seats will be removed — has been organized by Carlinglive, the live music wing of the drinks firm.
"We were stunned they all went so quickly," said a spokeswoman for Carlinglive.
AC/DC's appearance at Carling Apollo Hammersmith will be the band's first U.K. show since playing Milton Keynes Bowl in 2001, and their first time at the Hammersmith Apollo since 1980.
