*All the promotions with two numbers are the ones that had crossover events. The second number correspond to the sales of their stand alone shows
**The + sign means they had at least one show without reported attendance, so their total numbers are surely higher. In the spreadsheet I point out how many shows have an unreported attendance.
Growth of the main 8 promotions compared to 2022
For those who don't follow the scene, please consider that it's just this year that the government lifted all restrictions to capacity and noise that were put in place due to the pandemic. A drastic growth was expected for most if not all promotions, but even then you'll see that some promotions grew a lot more than others.
