The ticket sales of AEW events have been a hot topic among fans as the promotion has struggled to sell tickets to its shows in recent months.
The promotion began in late 2023 branching out to markets they never held shows in or in cities that are in smaller markets. This hurt their ticket sales. However, the promotion has started going back to bigger markets.
Last week’s Dynamite: Big Business episode with the arrival of Mercedes Mone was held at the TD Garden in Boston and drew over 9,000 fans. WrestleTix reports AEW has sold 5,684 tickets for Wednesday’s show in Toronto, ON with 307 left.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that AEW has now had two straight weeks of solid attendance after struggling to draw just a few thousand fans for months.
“They may get 6000 people or more for the show. It probably won't sell out, but it's probably going to come close. So there should be two straight weeks for good houses, if nothing else. And this match should probably be the main one and should be the main event of the show,” Meltzer said.
