Having attended All In 2023 and attended previous Wembley shows of different kinds (concerts, football) I think All In 2023 was the most poorly managed one I've ever seen.
What I remember specifically is that they used to the front Wembley entrance, the highest entrance to funnel an absolute shit ton of people through. This is the one with Moore outside. When you go to a Football game, they open multiple gates around the stadium and there's an equal flow into the building. I had people almost an hour and 30 minutes in STILL arriving to sit down who had clearly been waiting outside the stadium. It explains the red seats on the highest rows (5xx, 2xx), the stadium was filled out by the time Sting was due (Sting's match probably had the apex of attendance, a very small amount of people left after Sting). There was probably some delay getting people inside from the higher rows which happens often for football games but I've never seen it for the 2xx rows.
The audio set up was awful. I mean genuinely awful. I've watched back the recording and they somehow made Wembley worse than your average Mania (impressive considering Wembley's got more of a roof than recent Mania stadiums) and they also really fucked the sound for the audience looking in. I feel like they had to adjust mid-way. Some entrances were enough to cause hearing loss, some like Kenny's were so fucking quiet that his entrance was deafened by cheers (he's kinda over here, but he shouldn't be THAT over), and the Fozzy/Jericho shit was HORRID.
It's hard to judge on attendance even in person but the 81k number doesn't feel right. 70? Sure, I can believe that, the main problem is that I don't remember passing a turnstile myself for level 200, which might just be me blocking out All In 2023. I had tickets checked on the phone for sure outside the entrance, but by a staff member.
I think the lowest it could've gone was 60. Highest 72.
