For both the Forbidden Door and Wrestle Dream Collision I was too scared/Lazy to move up even though both got very empty as ROH tapings went on

We didn't because it was nice to chill in an empty area and just shoot the poo poo while we watched weird ROH vs New Japan matches.

Ganso Bomb posted:I don't know anything about business or whatever, but I am mildly curious as to how the strategy of selling fewer tickets for more money per ticket works against selling more tickets for less money per ticket. Does it all just even out at some point? Are dollar numbers up despite crowd numbers for TV (and this sad ROH PPV) being down? It's easy to sit at home and say you wished they sold tickets cheaper so you could have larger crowds on TV each week because it just looks better, but does it work out that way financially? Capitalism trends to a few at the top having all the money. Why bother trying to convince a million people to like your stuff enough to pay a dollar when you can find one person to give you a million? We're seeing it with Saudi and everything being focused on getting cities and networks as the consumer, not regular people. You raise good questions. I dunno if it's better or worse to raise or lower prices, especially to get a hotter tv show. Does it even matter? WBD just makes movies now to throw them in a vault and make money from weird tax breaks. We don't much matter to the bottom line anymore.

Speaking of ticket sales this weeks Observer noted that a lot of recent WWE events have weak advances as a lot of buyers know they can wait for the final week and get good deals so it does feel like the average buyer has caught on to the current ticket selling scheme. Unless you really want ringside or front row it's probably best to wait for the final 2 weeks of sales

Just seen the pre-sale prices - floor seats now 4 times what I got in august. Seats in the north east corner level 1, priced at twice what I got for floor seats. Yeah - sorry, cant afford tickets at that price to watch a video wall. That's a shame.

Only getting seats in the east stand (opposite entrance) for the same price point as last year. I don't fancy biting for that going to wait see what else gets released. Same area as last year looks like it's 50 quid more at least. Edit: ah gently caress it I bit. Found the same seats I had last year and they were 200 quid (80 last year but that was behind the stage). 114 row 9. We go again. Kaveman fucked around with this message at 11:01 on Nov 27, 2023 |

Wrestletix has the presale at around 27000 sold so far. Down from last year at the same time about 16k, but setup/time out are obviously different.

Not bad given Survivor Series but Tony really should start booking and promoting a big match against the WWE shows

e. too slow e2. Well, let's include this part from the beginning: quote:In a year where the perception of AEW has certainly gone down, as have key business metrics like live average attendances at most shows, and television ratings, particularly for the weekend shows, it was also a year of major revenue growth.

Everytime something cool happens in the ring my pupils turn into AEW symbols and coins fall out of my mouth like a slot machine. I should really have this checked out by a doctor as this is always accompanied by blood and headaches but Collision is on tonight what can I do.

Why would Zaslav own a percentage, he didn't work for Warner when AEW was being created.

The card also only has three matches announced right now and we already know there won't be a world title match because it's in the C2. If it wasn't for Athena they might not even have sold half as many tickets as they have right now.

Maybe if they hadn't tripled ticket prices this wouldn't be an issue, ignoring the lack of matches and Eddie not defending the belt of course

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CBDLyGp1WQ The whole video is an interesting breakdown of AEW's financials based on known-deals and estimates, but the clickbaity headline that everybody's been running with is that Wrestlenomics estimates AEW lost ~$37m this year on ~$154m of revenue.

Dave tweeted yesterday he was told from a source directly in AEW it's closer to $175m in revenue.
