Money in the Bank moves to MGM Grand Garden Arena (Patreon)

Money in the Bank will now take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Rumors had been swirling for the past 24 hours about a move from Allegiant Stadium to an Arena because of slow ticket sales. 

Dave Meltzer noted: "Everyone who purchased tickets to MITB will be refunded.  Those with tickets will get the first chance to order new tickets."

The last available count I grabbed as soon as I found out about the rumors (assuming if they were true, the ticket map might come down fast) was 6,943.

I went through the seating chart again and had to adjust my estimate as the upper decks were never fully opened. 

My final estimate for the setup was 24,867, which means they had 17,924 tickets distributed. MGM Grand Garden Arena will likely have a setup of around 12,000. 

There wasn't a lot of movement for this show over the past few months as some of you noticed. I noted from the beginning this would be a tough one since UFC was on the same night and another stadium show in Nashville was less than a month away as well. 

Presale for the MGM Garden is next Wednesday, June 1st at 10AM PST. That will be an interesting one to track.
