The "let's not take this shyt so seriously" AEW news & fukkery thread

[Jmare007]

@Jmare007 Stadium has a capacity of 40,000, not sure they will set it up for that depending on the staging. 10,000 out the gate seems ok with no card and it being several months away. I think 25,000 would look good on TV

In the context of a promotion that's struggling so much to sell tickets, 10k out of the gate for your biggest show ever in the U.S is aight I guess. But I have a very hard time picturing them being able to sell 10k more tickets unless they make a legit big effort promoting the show + getting *anything* that can garner some drawing power.

No matter how you look at it, they are gonna need to comp the fukk out of the show to make it look cool on TV. I'd be shocked if they are able to get enough momentum to sell 20k+ and even with that number they gonna need to give away a ton of tickets.

I think a lot of it just depends on what the story lines are heading into the thing. I don't expect much movement now until it gets closer to the show. We've seen recently where there's zero movement headed into PPVs and then the last two weeks they sell another ~3,000 tickets or so because that's when they start ramping up the hype and that's when they actually announce the card.

If 'ALL IN' is some combination of I dunno Will Ospreay vs. Kenny Omega or whatever that's a match that sells itself

For sure, there wont be much movement until late May most likely. But my point is, even if they manage to move double of what they already sold, it's still long ways to go before they can make it look cool on TV. And moving 10k tickets for a AEW after tickets went on sale is hard as fukk to do. Moving 3-5k wont really look like much in that setting.

And they will have to lower prices and give away a lot of tickets anyways.

They will make money though, regardless of how empty it ends up looking on TV.
