Ticket sales of the main Japanese promotions in September

No.11762694 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Last year I decided to follow the monthly attendance of the main Japanese promotions to see the current state of the scene with the best data we have at hand. Of course there are other indicators, but attendance is the only data that's publicly available to make this kind of updates and they are the most important source of revenue for all Japanese companies. I gather these numbers from Cagematch, Purolove and Weekly Pro Wrestling. I really recommend those databases if you want to check similar information of previous years.
