AEW Dynamite Attendance: A Deep Dive into the Numbers
All In's Record-Breaking Attendance: Truth or Fiction?
For weeks after All In, the wrestling world buzzed with claims of a record-breaking attendance of 80,000. However, WrestleTix, a website that tracks wrestling ticket sales, has since revealed that this number was incorrect.
AEW's True Attendance Figures
According to WrestleTix, the July 3 episode of Dynamite at the Wintrust Arena is on pace to be AEW's lowest attended show yet, with current projections indicating an attendance of around 11,400, with 9,400 paid.
Factors Contributing to Low Attendance
- Competition from larger promotions such as WWE and Impact Wrestling
- The show's location in Chicago, which is not a traditional wrestling hotbed
- The lack of major stars on the card
The Impact of Empty Seats on AEW
An image of empty seats during Adam Copeland's match on AEW Dynamite has sparked concern among fans and industry insiders.
Low attendance can damage a promotion's reputation and make it difficult to attract new fans. AEW will need to address this issue if it wants to maintain its momentum.
What AEW Can Do to Improve Attendance
- Book bigger stars on their shows
- Promote their events more effectively
- Consider running shows in more wrestling-friendly cities
Conclusion
AEW's attendance figures have been a topic of much debate in recent weeks. While the promotion's early shows drew impressive crowds, recent events have seen a decline in attendance.
AEW will need to address this issue if it wants to continue to grow and compete with larger promotions. By booking bigger stars, promoting their events more effectively, and running shows in more wrestling-friendly cities, AEW can improve its attendance and maintain its momentum.
