Beyonce’s NYC Show Sells Out in Just 22 Seconds

If you were hoping to see Beyonce during her four-night residency at New York’s Roseland Ballroom, you’ve been officially shut out. In fact, tickets for the first show were gone in 22 seconds.
Last week, the R&B diva announced “4 Intimate Nights With Beyonce,” where the singer would be performing her latest album, ’4,’ from beginning to end. Tickets went on sale to the general public on Wednesday via Ticketmaster, and all four concerts were sold out by the end of the day.
“It’s official @Beyonce’s 4th & final show at Roseland Ballroom is SOLD OUT!” Bey’s record label, Columbia, tweeted. “Thats a total of 4 sold out shows next week!”
The singer will get in an empire state of mind on Aug. 14, 16, 18 and 19, treating fans to live renditions of songs like ‘Run the World (Girls)’ and ‘Best Thing I Never Had.’ Beyonce teamed up with Target to release a deluxe edition of ’4,’ which includes an exclusive disc of three bonus tracks, so it will be interesting to see if the star includes those songs in her Roseland set. They might be a good options for an encore — just sayin’, B.
