AEW Dynamite
Wed • Jan 04, 2023 • 4:00 PM
Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle, WA

Available Tickets => 1,357
Current Setup/Capacity => 5,628
Tickets Distributed => 4,271

Cheapest ticket is $40 here so far which tells you this is an expensive arena to rent. Typically AEW's low end is $29 but of late I've been seeing that number go higher and higher as they use bigger arenas like this. I honestly expected a bit better than this but will reserve my judgement on the number until tomorrow's public on-sale. I've noted 3 sections with question marks, the 3 most visible camera facing sections and that's because I never saw those open (which would be very, very odd. Those always open during the presale because they are priced the highest (besides the floor). It's entirely possible they sold fast (I was about 1,000 deep in the queue) or for some strange reason they are going to save those for tomorrow). We will learn more tomorrow but this early estimate is assuming those sold and if that's not true, you'll see the difference tomorrow. This presale interested me almost as much as Full Gear because I though they could possibly sell a huge amount today. 4,271 would be a great start under normal circumstances for an AEW presale but I really believe their west coast debuts will all do very well and considering they have some top names from this area, I expect no less for this show. It's also far enough away that people could wait to buy. We'll see what happens tomorrow!

Weird that the setup is for under 6,000 seats when Smackdown just held a show that almost hit 10,000.

Setup is contingent on demand. If the demand is there, they open up more. WWE's original setup was probably even less than 6K during presale. You'd never want to open up the arena in full at once as there'd be massive gaps of seats visible to the TV audience at home. They try to fill the camera side up first and then open up elsewhere. But yeah, the setup is dynamic.

For some reason they just now opened the club sections completely
