WWE has had a de facto monopoly for 20 years. AEW is doing a show at Wembley. Based on presales alone, it's the biggest non-WWE event ever. - David May 3, 09:43 8
- I didn’t even realize this was for an event in the UK. There’s a lot further this can go for sure. -- nm - Qale May 3, 10:13 3
  - They should have gone to stadiums as soon as they could post-Covid -- nm - Tim May 3, 10:24
  - I -think- 60k is the ground floor now. They still haven't announced a single match. - David May 3, 10:15 1
    - The gate alone will be millions -- nm - Tim May 3, 10:30
- Thanks, this is helpful! How are doing at their shows in the US our of curiosity? -- nm - MDH May 3, 09:50 1
  - Generally around 70-80% capacity, sold out for PPVs and big events. -- nm - David May 3, 10:03
- Or, in MDH parlance, a less popular band has announced a tour that nobody expects to do well, but it has a chance to sell out based on presales. -- nm - David May 3, 09:47
- There is a caveat for this. It's in England which doesn't get very many pro wrestling big events, so this is HUGE business & fantastic - Remlik May 3, 09:47
