2015 Live Attendance

[mulkeybros]

Charlotte has been scaled down a little more it appears, from 672 to 654, it doesn't look like the corner seats were moving all that well. That said, they have moved another 68 seats in the last week, and now are at 444/654 floor seats sold. With GA (no way to tell how many of those have sold) and last week sales, I'm anticipating the final attendance to be in the 750 area.

According to the new issue of the Wrestling Observer, 2/20/16 in Tokyo is sold out, and 2/19/2016 is mostly gone, save for some ringside seats.

That's good news. Any idea how many seats the building holds?

Depending on the set-up, anywhere between 1500 and 2000. Typically on the higher end. When TNA ran Bound For Glory there in 2014, the set-up limited capacity to 1500. Most set-ups create a capacity of 1800-2000. I wonder if these shows will be live on NJPW World.

Meltzer said on his radio show that actual capacity of Korakuen Hall is 1735.

Tonight in Charlotte has opened up some more seats, I've lost track of the capacity on the floor, but 750 people there (when you throw in GA) sounds slightly conservative now, I'm increasing my projected attendance to 850, which should make for some fun TV Tapings.

3/12/2016 in Philly is set up for 1039.

So far, 134/1039 have been sold.

If anyone is interested, a sellout would be a gate of $36,090 with current ticket prices.

$7855 worth of tickets have been sold, as the majority of seats sold have been the $70 front row seats.

I think you're underestimating the walkup sales a little bit, they've been pretty good the past years or so. I believe there were a few shows over the past year that seemed to me like they had no chance of selling out based on ticket sales in advance, yet ended up selling out due to walkup sales in the 300 range, so it might even be more than that

I would agree that I am probably underestimating the number, even if you looked at 850 as a conservative estimate, it's gonna be a good sized crowd.

Update on estimated Ticket Sales (based on number of seats shown by ticketing agent, doesn't include GA sales if that is an available option):

1/15/16 in Indianapolis, IN (House Show): 338/452, up 96 from last check.

1/16/16 in Collinsville, IL (House Show): 361/600. Up 137 tickets from last check.

1/22/16 in Asheville, NC (House Show): 156/644. Up 46 tickets from last check. Hopefully the "Champs vs. Bullet Club match will cause a spike in sales, or hopefully a good walk-up.

1/23/16 in Duluth, GA (House Show): Ticketing through venue. Looks to be set up for about 1200. There are 8 pricing tiers, and the top 3 tiers are sold out.

2/6/16 in Nashville, TN (TV Taping): Set up for 906 seats currently, which consists of ringside, floor risers (4 sections) and Mezzanine (3 sections). Currently at 251/906 seats sold, up 69 seats from last check. We will see what, if any, effect NXT has on the attendance here. I have noted I think this is a dick move on WWE's part, but considering it's a niche audience that ROH caters to, it's possible that the potential "double shot" might lure fans to the area who might otherwise not come.

2/19/16 in Tokyo, Japan (House Show): Per 1/4/16 Wrestling Observer, mostly sold out except for some ringside seats. Korakuen Hall capacity is 1735.

2/20/16 in Tokyo, Japan (House Show): Per 1/4/16 Wrestling Observer, this show is sold out. Korakuen Hall capacity is 1735.

2/26/16 in Las Vegas, NV (PPV): 707/772, up 117 tickets since last check. Get your tickets now!

2/27/16 in Las Vegas, NV (TV Taping): 401/772. Up 71 tickets since last check. I would hope this sells out with the NJPW presence.

3/12/2016 in Philadelphia: 134/1039. Sellout would be a $36000 gate.

4/1/16 in Dallas, TX (PPV? iPPV?): SOLD OUT!

4/2/16 in Dallas, TX (TV Taping): SOLD OUT!

Does anyone know the final attendance number for Charlotte ?

[Lika0n]

Nearly 1300 people in attendance at Final Battle '15.
Nearly 1650 seats* at the Korakuen Hall (but some shows had over 2000 people in attendance)
Nothing for Charlotte show.

Does anyone know the final attendance number for Charlotte ?

Wrestling Observer reported 800.

Final check before this weekend:

Indianapolis: 418/452 floor seats sold.

Collinsville: 520/600 floor seats sold.

I'm guessing 600-650 for Indy, 700-750 for Collinsville.

[Reaper G]

A friend of mine who was planning on going to the Vegas shows said they were sold out as of Friday.

[TYFDK]

ROH's Twitter said the Gateway Center was sold out.

ROH's Twitter said the Gateway Center was sold out.

That's awesome to hear. The pics from Indy looked like they had a nice turnout as well, I have no idea what capacity would be for each, but the floor sections for both were close to sold out a couple of days out, which was 452 in Indy, and 600 in Collinsville. So I guess it's up to how big the GA attendance was for each.

Good news on the Ashville front, as it seems like ticket business has picked up a little. They are at about 225 now. If it's a strong walk-up, maybe 500, which would be low, but not as low as I thought it would be.

To the guy who typically keeps track of this sort of thing, any update on the ticket sales for this weekend's tapings in Nashville? I'm curious as to if the NXT house show the night before will have a major negative effect on attendance. As I worry with ROH running such a large building, even a good number per their standards would come across as a dead crowd.

[The Dragon Saga]

Out of boredom I checked on the ticket sales for Nashville tomorrow. There are roughly 300 seats available with about 600 sold. If they want to they can move fans down from the Mezzanine to the floor risers to fill in the gaps there and ask the remaining fans in the Mezzanine to group together in the first two rows or so. If the walk-up is strong they'll be good. It should look good on TV. I'd say the NXT show did effect sales but not by much.

If those numbers are accurate, I believe it's at least a better pre-sale than the last Nashville show. Which according to Meltzer was down to around an attendance of 700. I'm more curious to see if it has much effect on the walk up, which was typically fairly strong at the Fairgrounds shows at least. (Hell, I would of liked to attend both shows myself were I able to make it to Nashville today.)

Speaking of which, anyone happen to know why they moved from the Fairgrounds to the Municipal Auditorium in the first place? Cheaper? Scheduling conflict? Or maybe just issues with the building itself. Hope it doesn't prove to be a permanent move, as the Fairgrounds seemed to be about the perfect size building for Ring of Honor.

[TYFDK]

At the very least more room, but also a place to actually set up lighting rigs. Fairgrounds building was too old to do so, so they had to use those lighting stands at the corners of the building. At the MA, they'll be able to set up the real thing so it'll look much better in the ring.

[JTCole]

How much did Duluth end up having?
