>>10726045You can only turn the logic on me if I act like a typical /pw/ dicklet and play games instead of making the argument. Of course WWE tickets get scalped - the difference is WWE has sky-high face value tickets, which is why their gates are so much higher than typical AEW gates, even in smaller arenas.
Take your average Raw vs Dynamite, where Raw sells 4000 tickets and Dynamite gets 4200 in the same venue. Do you really believe Dynamite is making more revenue there? Taking into account sponsorships, product placement, etc? Of course not.
The maximum was 6 tickets during the All In pre-sale. As I said to another anon coward who threw a bitch fit instead of answering -- if you're so sure there will be no scalping, why not make that 10 or 20 ticket limit? Does AEW want to split up large families and friend groups and social clubs? What would be the motive there, if all of the sales were all 100% legit with zero chance of scalping?
All In tickets sold so quickly because nobody doubts they'd be able to offload the tickets, at at least face value, on the day of the event. They were priced much lower than most other tickets for comparable events, not much over $100.
https://www.dallasobserver.com/arts/arlington-will-host-the-2-night-wrestlemania-38-in-april-2022-12598362Wrestlemania 32 did $170/ticket and that's after being in Georgia, Louisiana and nearby states for most of the preceding years. Imagine WM going back to Canada for the first time in 20+ years, you think they couldn't squeeze $250/ticket out of that? Of course they could!
All In tickets should have launched at double the price but Tony miscalculated. London has been waiting for a Wrestlemania-tier wrestling event and they're finally getting one. But the ticket sales look highly irregular.
I'm happy for AEW. I don't watch WWE other than major events, it's bubblegum TV-PG garbage. But AEW fans need to start telling the fucking truth instead of being despicable lying scumbags most of the time.
