First Dance tickets opened up

[The Legendary Ring Troll {BLM}]

I was able to grab two tickets $70 each for section 7. Almost all sections have open tickets, ringside running $400+, rampside $120!

[Facetious]

I already have a concert on the day, but I did nab some Sept 1 Dynamite tickets.

[The Legendary Ring Troll {BLM}]

I have some of those too, super pumped for my first two AEW shows almost back to back with one of my all time favorites debuting.

I'm really thinking about picking up a ticket and just going myself. I remember having a shot at tickets to MITB '11 and passing thinking it would be fine just watching on TV. Hearing the Pop, I still hate myself for missing that. I wonder if this could be similar.

The pop will for sure be similar

As soon as I got that notification from TicketMaster saying there were tickets open, I HAD to jump on it. It was like fate. CM Punk (favorite wrestler ever) debuting in AEW (favorite wrestling since Attitude Era) in Chicago (where I live now)? There was no way I could pass it up.

Wondering if a lot don't start to pop up. Looks like Chicago is going under indoor mandatory masks on Friday.

Probably not a lot of them. But some idiots might drop out making room for other people to get the tickets.

If by similar you mean “soul rattling loud” because the United Center is a goddamn massive building?

Then yes. It will.

This goes for pretty much all events really, but it hasn't exactly been a problem getting a ticket for this show. They've been available in bulk on StubHub for under 10 bucks for a while. Anything opening up now because of masks probably isn't getting sold unless it's a great seat at a very low price.

Word is the scalpers went extra hard after this show after not getting a lot of All Out tickets.

I think covid played a role

Is anything else being taped during this show? I get the "it has to be big" due to Punk's return situation but a full size arena for 1 hour is ridiculous.

AEW Dark will be filmed for it, I'd imagine. I think the first half of the tapings tonight will be for the Extra-Elevation tomorrow, and the second half will be for Elevation on Monday.

Two hours of DARK if the Pittsburgh Rampage is any indication

I feel no love for scalpers that find the way to get their hands on thousands of tickets for events, but they've got to be having a brutal run of it lately. There are no real consistent in-demand acts out there, more and more tours are being canceled every day, and we're facing the very real possibility that only college and pro sports are going to still be attempting to go with large crowds come this fall.
