PAUL McCARTNEY VEGAS SHOW SELLS OUT IN RECORD SEVEN SECONDS
Multiple World Records Likely To Be Set By April 19 One-Off at The New Joint at the Hard Rock
Paul McCartney's one night stand April 19 at Las Vegas' New Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has already set a world record, moving all 4000 tickets in a mere seven seconds--a rate of nearly 600 seats a second.

"And there is another Guinness record it would be cool to break there too - the world record for the most couples hugging simultaneously is 1,451, set in Taiwan in 2007."
