Royal Quest tickets are now available Got myself a ticket for the first day. 40 quid isn't that bad in the current economic environment and really excited to see FTR. Low key hoping they have a tag title match on the first show but will see. The venue is an absolute nightmare to get to though There's a palpable lack of excitement tbh. The few wrestling people I know irl aren't at all interested and there's a lot of floor seats unsold. Again a reflection of how dead the British wrestling scene is (except for WWE and probably AEW when they come over) and how cold the New Japan product feels atm

Seeing Bad Dude Tito being on the first match in front of cheering NJPW crowd with Minoru Suzuki is fantastic.
It probably won’t happen but, Tito winning that would be massive.

And the same goes for people I know who I might've gone with.
Which is a huge shame, to be honest.

I think NJPW have done a decent enough job taking that into account. Few days ago they tweeted that there were less than 200 seats available for the first night, so thats already a 90% capacity.
I could see some people holding out for some match announcements, so I think both nights will eventually sell out.
I'm not sure I'd call the venue dodgy, "inconvenient" feels a more apt description.

Oh yeah, that's what I mean by dodgy, rather than anything unsavoury.
I expect it probably will sell out, personally I think it would take something pretty special for me to change my mind and spend north of £100 on tickets and travel, and six hours on the train and tube across the two nights for this. As I said, three years ago I'd have been all over this, and I sort of imagined that I'd want to go and see wrestling again after COVID like I do sports or music or whatever, but the COVID era has actually had the opposite effect and made me not really care about wrestling very much anymore.
But like I said, that's just me personally.

El Desperado is facing death match veteran Jun Kasai at Taka and Taichi’s next show on the 12th.
Last time these two were in the ring together, Despy got injured and was out for a bit.
