Beyoncé concert at Bank of America Stadium delivered near-record sales for hotels
Queen Bey came up big for the Queen City. Especially the hotels.
Beyoncé's tour stop at Bank of America Stadium last month delivered the 10th-highest revenue night for hotels in Mecklenburg County’s history, according to data collected by tracking firm STR and analysis by the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority.
The sold-out concert on Aug. 9 turned a Wednesday night into a hot commodity for hotels, fueling combined revenue of $4.4 million. That translated into 25,983 rooms sold.
