There’s video, guy paid $1600 for WM tickets and got a mediocre view. Paid $1200 for All In tickets and got the All Elite VIP experience with floor seats.


I don't feel bad for anyone not doing their due diligence. You should know what your "view" is going to be, I've told people a hundred times too, if you are on the floor especially and you don't have at least 2nd or 3rd row... it's going to be a trash view. I'll pay the extra for front row so at least there ain't someone standing in front of us while we're trying to enjoy the show

Sabre Jr. on Take:

–July 30, Konosuke Takeshyta in the main event in Osaka. Takeshyta’s home town, and while he recently lost the NEVER Openweight Championship, it’s clear his work ethic this year has been something else.

Zack: He’s a one of a kind athlete, and it’s a one of a kind situation for him. Three contracts, three companies, two countries. Championships, major tournaments, all of that. It’s easy to say he’s a guy everybody wants to wrestle. And it’s a totally fresh matchup for me as well.

I learned my lesson at 35, especially with the big canopy they like to put over the ring and the corners and block some of those views. I think what's hurting them as well now is the prices. Even the cheap seats. Now they repeating Vegas next year so I don't expect much change towards the downside or any at all prolly so will have to wait until the mania after to see. But i don't think they are likely to cut prices if they continuing on the same trajectory.

What TK needs to do is learn from this week/weekend & use it to his advantage. They filled over 25k into a stadium which is rare for non wwe. I know he going to London next year but no reason why he can't try for another stadium show in the US as well. Make it a destination event where they do Dynamite, Collision, ROH and AEW ppv like WWE does their mania week. Have fans want to make a trip for a better price than what WWE charges. Especially if they can get enough hype like they have now and keep it going and growing the company.

Sounds crazy but I think that hitting up New Orleans for a big event doesn't sound like a bad idea. WWE already flaked on them by taking mania away, and the Super Bowl is there so they'll have a big event to help convince the city to give them a chance as well. Be like let us give your city some more tourism. Of course the stadium is much bigger than Globe Life but just getting a big event in US soil again is good enough. No need to try and fill all 70k or whatever superdome holds. Maybe Revolution or DON, one of their big 4 events. But def need to get more big events like All In Texas in the US.

I’ve seen ads l, I assume they are just local ads, that promotes the affordability. Floor seats are still expensive, though much cheaper than WWE’s floor seats, but everything else is reasonably affordable to downright cheap.

Like they are coming about 75 minutes from where I live for a live Collision. Even after fees included, the cheapest ticket is under $35.

“Hangman is AEW Jesus” :skip:

Wrestling fans love hyperbole. Jon Moxley is really the "savior" of AEW.
“WWE you’re going to have to step up your fukking god damn game”

Yup. Gotta be in the first 10-15 rows. Even then it’s a gamble because you might have a$$holes standing up or with a sign.

Made this mistake for a NJPW show, we both came back with aching necks from craning to see between/over/under people. My Mrs is tiny so she saw fukk all for a lot of the night.

100 blocks with a bit of elevation in a stadium/arena is the sweet spot unless you can be front row and not in a corner so you get blinded by the ring lights all night.

Yeah, if for whatever reason you can't get the first few rows then you gotta do lower bowl 100s. Anything above that and you probably won't be able to see shyt if it's a large arena
