AEW makes its Atlantic City, NJ debut in February. Should be a super unique venue for a TV show. It can fit between 10 and 15K given configuration. I would be surprised if they sold that much given the location of AC but who knows. It's close enough to Philly.
Interestingly enough, this was also the venue for Wrestlemania IV and V.
Indeed, I’m sure they’ll pick up some of that but it seems like a trek for most other folks in the tri-state. It’s a cool venue though and the history alone makes it worth giving it a shot.

This could be a huge card and event, Newark did super well and that was a 10K plus seat arena Not sure if you're familiar with the geography, but Newark is super accessible by train and it's only about a 45-50 minute commute or a 50-55 minute drive from New York City. It's about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from New York to Atlantic City. I technically live in New Jersey and it's still 2 and a half hours for me if I drove or 2 hours and 54 minutes by Train. It's about an hour and ten minutes from Philly there, so I expect they'll pick up some attendance that way. It's just not a convenient commute and you'd be asking people to leave AC at 11PM/12AM and if they were commuting, AC's a sketch area. That's why I'm a little skeptical that this is an immediate sell-out. People would likely have to get hotels in the middle of the week, too. If anybody can do it, they can, but I do wonder if it's going to be as easy for them as some of the other NY/NJ shows.

I thought Atlantic City was considered part of the Philadelphia area (as part of South Jersey).
Also, the attendance for the first TBS Dynamite looks good:

I’m actually doing a NC tour in just less than a month with AEW. Will be at the Greensboro Dynamite on the 22nd, Battle of the Belts in Charlotte on January 8th, and the Raleigh Dynamite on January 12th. I think I’ll have my fill of AEW soon lol.

That's a perfectly fine number for the 12/22 show and should end up 5K or more when it happens which is in the range of numbers they've done this year. It's near the holidays and around a time where they've run a lot of shows in the area so given that, it's pretty decent. It's just in a larger building so if there's a smaller one next time, they should aim for that but it might not always be available/exist depending on the area.

I might actually go to the Bridgeport show. It was pretty easy to get to from NYC and I had a great time when I went there for NXT Takeover 25.

Atlantic City is part of the South Jersey area, extended to Philly more than New York. I am thinking about going myself, do they do presale codes or anything like that?

Yeah, acting like drawing over 5k three days before Christmas isn't impressive is being disingenuous tbh. Who knows how the ticket numbers might do with a card announced either
