While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about AEW Grand Slam selling over 2,000 tickets within just a few days. He suggested that AEW might have given away a lot of complimentary tickets, expressing some skepticism about how many of the recent sales were actually paid for. He noted that while there were over 8,000 people in attendance, the sudden surge in ticket sales raised questions about the actual paid attendance.

>“I don’t know how much paid was. When you get three thousand in the last couple of days, you know what I mean? That’s a lot. It was over eight thousand in the building though.”
