What I want / think they need.
- The show must be live. When it comes to wrestling, live wrestling usually does way better than taped. Also, the big money tv-deals WWE gets are in part for their ability to create live content all year.
- The show needs to be weekly and at least 1 hour, 1:30 would be my preference. They are going to have at least 3 divisions: mens singe title, womens single title and tag title. Add the amount of non-titles feuds and the collaborations with their partner promotions and they need time to advance stories and have decent, lengthy matches. One lengthy match and two stories can easily take 1 hour if done well. With the amount fo wrestlers, divisions and the idea that everyone is going to get their time, they are going to need a weekly show.
- Regarding special events first they need to price them accordingly. WWE and NJPW offer them for around 10 dlls with their networks. All In was like 30-40 dlls, that is way too much if they are going the monthly route. Every 2-3 months is my sweet spot. Monthly just does not give the proper time to build feuds and just starts devaluing matches and the events. Second, they need a way to deliver the events properly. A streaming services would be ideal, even if it is too soon for one. The other option is to have them on a tv channel. If they have like 10+ events per year and charge premium for them, then I am not going to be able to afford them as I already pay for EVE and NJPW services.
It was some stupid gaming age sales war logic and I find it funny how the usual posters here were believing it.
Someone said they need a talk show afterwards for 30 minutes. I don't know that 30 is necessary, but 20 minutes in a 90 minute show would be good.
everyone buy tickets and scalp them, then invest the money back into the casino
once you've turned that into a bigger pile of money we make our own promotion

Fellas... i bought Double or Nothing tickets
They're the cheapest seats but i think that's all that was left

We're gonna fight in the booking room when I suggest Momo goes over Pom
And then we can sell that info to the sheets and do a match
Pom's twitter game is just going to be captionless photos of her in the background of her opponent's dark bedroom as they sleep, full gear
I used to walk up and buy them at the door, although granted that was 10 years ago
Meltzer also thinks they could sell 50,000 tickets.
First thing is him reporting, the second is him musing
I have to be curious about how they're planning to book their big shows going forward
Based on All In and the hype for AEW like you have to imagine they could sell way more tickets for the big first show. So are they purposely booking smaller ones to try and instantly sell them out for a PWG type appeal? "well oh, it's always going to sell out so I'm always going to need to buy right away" and see if you can maintain that kind of draw

I think they had absolutely no idea if this would work the second time around so they played it conservative
hey man as long as you don't hold this photo up in a mirror it's A OK
wait but she probably took it with selfie cam oh no
FWIW, Meltzer said that AEW's initial plan for Double or Nothing was to book the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas (which seats between 18,000-20,000 depending on the configuration), but they decided not to due to the possibility that the Vegas Golden Knights would have a home playoff game around that same time.
dont complain, I just got rid of mine for 3x and I'm funding a trip
Pom's photobomb game is also very good.
This is what happens when you think about her name.
That face is pure evil.
She is going to invade AAA and take control of their clown army.
She always has this look like she's planning something devious.
She's so great.
we blaming cody for scalpers now?
also lol no dublin still
AEW in Albert Hall is interesting. I'd certainly go, i expect a bunch of "they outdrew wwe lol" posts if they sell that place out. wwe did 2 nights on the trot against the world cup tbf
also lol no dublin still
excellent work
I got 2 tickets for Double Or Nothing. I'm gonna be super drunk watching live wrestling.
God bless.
God bless.
If you are going to change the world obviously you need to change how tickets are sold otherwise you get scalpers q:
