This event was historically significant as AEW’s first pay-per-view in Texas and the inaugural professional wrestling event at Globe Life Field. While the full capacity of the venue is 42,234, AEW utilized approximately 65% of the stadium for wrestling.
Market-wise, with only 1,561 tickets left unsold, the event showed strong fan enthusiasm in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The affordable ticket price and a robust resale market (384 tickets) indicate that the event attracted not just AEW’s core audience but also a broader fan base.
The near-sellout underscores AEW’s success in expanding its biggest annual event into fresh markets, solidifying its presence in one of wrestling’s critical regions, and proving its capability to pack large venues beyond the usual wrestling strongholds.
Fan Take: This milestone highlights AEW’s growing influence and commitment to reaching new audiences, which is exciting for fans eager to see the sport expand and evolve. Successfully filling a major venue like Globe Life Field signals promising growth and competitiveness for AEW in the pro wrestling landscape.
