American rapper Eminem drew a record crowd of more than 46,000 to Wellington's Westpac Stadium last night.

Robbie Williams held the previous record: 42,000 in 2001.

The concert also set the record for the highest number of ticket sales to people outside the Wellington region.

More than half the crowd travelled to the capital for the event, setting a record for a single event for the city.
