Exciting on-sale news for this week (and a prediction) (Patreon)
Content
As you may have heard by now AEW officially announced what was reported by Andrew Zarian last week, that Dynamite would be coming to Belmont (near Long Island/Queens) and the UBS Arena, a week after Raw will be in the same exact building. It will be really interesting to see how both shows do and who outdraws the other. AEW announced tickets go on sale this Friday (presale on Thursday as per usual). WWE has not announced anything regarding tickets for their show in this building. I would be surprised if they let AEW get first dibs on ticket buyers. Either way, the two companies have totally different approaches with their on-sales. AEW hypes it up on their social media and gets their talent to do the same (especially for the big shows). WWE quietly announces presales/on-sales and relies heavily on weekly local advertising/give-aways. It will be really interesting to see if AEW can continue their NY success with the newest acquisitions now officially in the mix to be on these cards. I will be covering it all and these on-sales can make this Patreon worth it alone for the month.
Still no word on the city/location for Full Gear on November 13th. But if you want my prediction, and this isn't based off any insider knowledge, I'd predict they stay in the midwest and hit Minneapolis, Minnesota for the first time. Both the Xcel arena (home of the Minnesota Wild) and the Williams Arena (home of the Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball team) have openings on that day. Just my opinion but for their quarterly pay per views, I'd go with the NHL/NBA sized arenas over the University arenas they like to run. There are so many factors involved so it's unfair for me to say they should do it without knowing all of those factors. I expect this announcement to come very soon and an on-sale to follow. Again, that's just my prediction and I'm excited to find out where they land for Full Gear.
