WWE had one of its most impressive years ever, as the company reportedly ended 2024 with average attendance of more than 10,000 for the first time since 2001, averaging around 12,100 people per show. In terms of the entire company, Meltzer claims that 2024 is also the fourth best year for average attendance in WWE history, only placing behind 1999, 2000, and 2001, when the company was riding high in the Attitude Era.
The official average for 2024 for WWE was 10,859 fans, an increase of 19.8% compared to the 9,067 fans in 2023. However, Meltzer sees this as an artificial bump as the company drastically cut back on house shows throughout the year, and began running stadiums for events like Elimination Chamber to boost the average from 2023's figure.
With that said, the company's TV events are consistent with these figures as "WWE Raw" averaged 10,478 fans, while "WWE SmackDown" averaged 11,498, which marks increases of 10.3% and 9.7% from 2023, respectively. WWE also reported a large number of sell outs in 2024, which included shows with less than 500 tickets left on sale.
