Why AEW in Miami for Road Rager has struggled so far (Patreon)

There's always a lot of chatter around the Miami show and context is important here but not easy to put in limited characters on twitter so let's look at what happened for the AEW show in Miami:
1) Tickets were released in a small quantity (1,200) due to covid restrictions.
2) Those tickets sold out relatively fast.
3) Weeks later, a big chunk of tickets were released in groups of 4. Most fans want to buy tickets in 1 or 2, not 4. These were released like this because of Covid restrictions set by the city if Miami.
4) Weeks later they were finally able to lift those covid restrictions and release every single ticket as a normal ticket (meaning you can buy 1 or 2 or whatever).
The reason this matters is because your biggest ticket moving days are the presale and the general public sale. All that said, this also speaks to Florida as a market right now for wrestling (and specifically AEW). If they hit 3K by the day of the show, they should be happy.
