>>14280785That makes more sense, thanks for the clarification.
I understand the arenas need to be booked well in advance, but how hard is it to adjust pricing 2 months out or 2 weeks out instead of 2 days out? Give the early purchasers a free t-shirt, $20 concession voucher, something. There has to be a way to get asses in the door without the last minute stuff.
How about 1 Dynamite every month, first 2000 fans get a bobblehead - and save it for markets that don't do as well. There's gotta be a few thousand fans who will MALD if they don't collect all 12 every year. That could get some more fans right there - selling the bobblehead will cancel out the price of tickets.
>>14281049I'm not TK but I'm seething. We joke that "real wrestling" is repulsive to casuals, but is "real wrestling" also repulsive to wrestling fans? How else do you explain this shit? Not like it was short notice, just announced and started selling tickets last week.
>>14281061Harsh but I don't know how to refute this. Could easily be written by both an anti-AEW smark or an anonymous AEW employee. How do you convince Tony to talk away from his toybox? How do you get AEW back on track when Tony has the final say? We give all the talent credit for being carnies, but how carny is the marketing staff to still be employed after failing this badly?
Is talent really flying in Tuesday, straight to the hotel, party, sleep, gym in the morning, straight to the building, back to the hotel, then the airport? Maybe 2 wrestlers do the Morning TV show where everyone watching is already scheduled to work that day/night? Ridiculous. You can't grow the company that way. Your target audience isn't watching the fucking 6am morning news show. WWE does that to flex and for video packages, not because it actually puts asses in seats.
