Cobra Commander Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Time to reset the “number of days since some All-In related drama” counter? https://wrestlenomics.com/2023/09/13/aew-all-ins-turnstile-count-was-72265-according-to-local-government/ Quote In response to a public records request about the attendance for AEW All In on August 27, the Freedom of Information office for the Brent Civic Centre responded today: “The actual numbers registered entering [Wembley] Stadium through the turnstiles was 72,265 – this is reflective of what attended on the night and not the total number of tickets sold or no-shows etc.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Also from the article: Quote Wrestlenomics was told by a source that a typical AEW event has a drop count (also known as a “turnstile count”) that is about 80% to 90% of the paid attendance or tickets distributed. In this case, 72,265 is 89% of 83,131. The turnstile count for WWE’s Wrestlemania 32 in 2016 in Arlington, Texas, was higher than All In’s number. The number of fans who entered the building for Wrestlemania 32 was 80,709, according to the Arlington Police, a number more than 8,000 higher than 72,265. I wondered why the official press release said it was biggest ever attendance in Europe, and not globally. Quote -- Global Pay-Per-View Event Becomes AEW’s Highest Grossing Event in History and Biggest Pro Wrestling Event Ever Held in Europe --August 27, 2023 – All Elite Wrestling (AEW) announced tonight that “AEW: All In London” shattered multiple records across the professional wrestling industry. The sold-out event, which was broadcast worldwide, saw 81,035 fans from more than 70 countries converge on Wembley Stadium in London, marking the largest crowd in history to ever attend a pro wrestling event in Europe. tl;dr They sold more tickets than WrestleMania 32 did, but fewer people actually showed up.

Curt McGirt Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I don't understand that at all unless it's scalpers buying in bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Announced attendance in any sport has always been paid and not turnstile. And that gap is almost certainly a mix of secondary market and unused comps/corporate box tickets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably impossible to figure out where the tickets sold but not used were located but it would be interesting to find out the gaps were totally random or in blocs... but I guess if you had a website and you wanted to get clicks badly enough, you can say that the promotion was buying thousands of tickets to boost their numbers. Followed by comparing that to indy promotions giving workers tickets to sell/give out to boost numbers as if that's the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Or maybe there was a huge crash of the UK Air Traffic Control system that Bank Holiday Weekend, and flights were disrupted for days. And so anyone flying in from Ireland, or France or Uzbekistan couldn't make the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 My understanding is that counting ticket sales instead of turnstile is a relatively modern phenomenon (80s or sooner). I was telling a UK friend about how NHL teams (like Detroit and Chicago) used to have 107% attendance because of standing room areas. IIRC, the top 7 or 8 teams had 100+% attendance when they listed it in the Hockey News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I'm reading a book about an attempted assassination of Margaret Thatcher by the IRA and they had a trial run over a Bank Holiday Weekend. Now I'm imagining them doing it during an All In. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
