They'll travel to good cards. If they've already spent their annual budget by March because of the price hikes, they're gonna look ahead and be much more selective.
Meanwhile corporations buy up the tickets as part of favour packages and raffles for personnel or they use those tickets themselves to socialise and do business. I've been to a skybox for a football game, almost all the skyboxes are rented by companies for business purposes.
They do the same with wrestling.
That means that the crowd won't just be full of random people who might not even like wrestling or any kind, the crowd will be full of people who are busy with other things, too busy drinking shots and snorting coke with the business partners to watch matches.
That's all very important to the hardcore fan as well.
It's one half of the equation to be there for the match you've dreamt of.
The crowd is the other half. Without their participation, it's a really fucking dry steak. If they do participate, they make it sizzle.
And when the fan is there all alone, noticing that nobody is cheering like him, he's gonna feel like the outcast and think to himself "I might as well stay home".
