"Staples Center hosts over 250 ticketed events a year, and we are fortunate to have a hard-working, dedicated staff that allows us the ability to have seven huge concerts and two hockey games in a span of nine days, Lee Zeidman, General Manager, Staples Center. Without the staff and operations team we have assembled, along with the level of artists that the promoter AEG Live brought to us in Justin Timberlake and Mana' this record breaking week would not have been possible." – CelebrityAccess Staff Writers
