Update on Lockdown Ticket Sales

- Two weeks ago TNA sold 3000 tickets, and last week sold just over half the seats on sale.

- Today, section 137 was opened for sales. There are a total of 1089 seats in that section, but only 732 have been made available as of right now.

- Since the last report, the number of tickets sold has risen from 2618 to 3771 while the number of seats available has gone from 3981 to 3560 -- making the total of number of seats on sale to 7331, which has increased from 6599 due to the opening of section 137.

Here is a breakdown of sections that still have seats available and the amount currently sold in those sections:

• Section 101 399 sold 235 available
• Section 144 810 sold 34 available
• Section 143 609 sold 273 available
• Section 142 62 sold 379 available
• Section 141 60 sold 562 available
• Section 140 52 sold 570 available
• Section 139 18 sold 398 available
• Section 138 626 sold 434 available
• Section 137 35 sold 697 available

After last night's Impact the sales picked up a little and about 200 tickets have been sold so far today, which is a larger daily average than what has been in the past few weeks. The tipping point for sales will be local promotion.

The sales have had a steady increase but like I said a few weeks ago, if TNA wants to sell the majority of the seats available, they will need to do some promotion in San Antonio and send some of the big names down there to get the word out. I will post further updates on my Twitter @mistertna when they happen. Any big updates will be reported here; expect that to be the final week leading into Lockdown, which will likely be filled with heavy promotion for the show.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Interesting stuff. But it kinda bad that 10,000 hasn't be reached. They should have been there buy now. You're a company that claimed to challenged the WWE yet can even draw an average Raw number? The building is plenty big.

[crowwreak was WRONG]

They're still in one corner, right?

[Chuckie Finster]

Yep, still booked in a corner.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Well, at least it won't be the most papered wrestling event in Alamodome history.

They're one reverse psychology antic from WWE away from Dixie opening up the entire dome and papering the place. Moreso.

[The Baltimore Staircase]

So what are they gonna do? Hang a massive curtain up to pretend the rest of the building doesn't exist? That seating plan is just weird.

No need too, just put the cameras in the 123, 124, 125 sections and shoot toward the other side. No different than the WWE and Pistons did in the past in Pontiac.

Might look good on TV but it's not exactly atmosphere inspiring is it.

I don't know how they'll handle the set up. All I know is I'll be watching from section C down there on the floor, front row!

Take a sign that consists only of my avatar and a gown to drape over it and you've won my affection.

Whenever it's quiet peal back the gown and utter the famous words.

Hey Dixie, you wanna move tix in San Antonio? Send Kurt Angle, Sting, Hogan, Hardy and James Storm to lackland and Randolph afb's and to FT Sam Houston. Those bases are HUGE training sites with loads of 18-28 yr old trainees with disposable income and limited options(liberty/passes). Do the patriotic PR deal and I'm pretty sure the commanders and first sgts will let their trainees go to your show. I bet you get another 1000 or so seats filled

Cool beans! I procrastinated too long and wasn't able to get floor seats like I did for Raw last summer, so I'll be up in section 144.

[Dean-o]

With that size venue, no matter where you sit, you're going to have a great view.

That would mean that they would have to market. And with Dixie not having a marketing background, it wouldn't work correctly.

I remember Bound for Glory a few years back, that was held in Irvine CA, and there was literally NO local marketing for the event. If I didn't find out about on this message board, I would have never known it was happening.

Although, for the TNA house show they did in Anaheim earlier that year, there was ONE ad ran the day of the show in the local sports paper. Right next to the 'massage' ads.

#MarchMadness is taking on a whole new meaning at the TNA office. Lots going on. San Antonio looks to be our largest US attended event ever.

[dpg]

Nice! Could be a big and loud crowd then!

I would have killed for this during basic back in 2003.

I would have literally murdered another human being.

Literally murdered.

As in kill till their dead to death.
