AEW moving venues for Grand Slam Australia

AEW’s debut in Australia will not be taking place in a stadium after all. Announced by local ticket provider Ticketek to those who had purchased tickets, the Saturday, February 15th show will now emanate from the Brisbane Entertainment Centre instead of Suncorp Stadium. Those who had already purchased tickets will be relocated to new seats in the venue which lists a capacity of 13,500 and is the indoor home for concerts and other entertainment events. Asked about an update on the show last week, AEW head Tony Khan said they had sold “thousands of tickets” but did not hint at a venue change. The company’s programming airs on ESPN Australia, but is not as highly viewed as it is domestically. The change comes a few days after it was first reported that a venue change was expected. The reason for the change is unknown with speculation that low ticket sales were an impetus. Source
