2015 Live Attendance

[Fawrules]

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.

Fair enough from a TV standpoint, I get it. Just kind of disheartening seeing a wrestling show in a big empty building. I'm sure they'll "pipe and drape it" so it looks good on TV. Just hope the crowd doesn't sound dead.

How much did Duluth end up having?

Observer said 1,000.

[Fawrules]

Atlanta/Duluth deserves a PPV or at least a Death Before Dishonor/Glory by Honor type of show. Three house shows, all drawing over 1,000. I say this without bias having not been to a show there, they deserve to be rewarded in some way or another.

As an Atlanta native I highly approve of this.

[The Dragon Saga]

I wasn't too big on the arena they used this time around either. It doesn't look like an arena I'd put a PPV or TV taping in.

Is the original post ever going to be updated with the December 2015 numbers, as well as the 2014 comparisons?

I want to see the whole picture of 2013 vs 2014 vs 2015. And of course January 2016.

Not sure, sir! WHG? Where are you, friend?

[Big Red Machine]

They only set up for 648 in San Antonio? Sounds like they should be looking for a bigger building down there. Haven't they been increasing in that market recently?

The number doesn't include GA seats, so a sell out would be more than that. It's only floor seats I'm counting.

Figured it would be a good idea to update this thread. Wasn't able to find numbers for some of these shows (and I have no idea which ones were sellouts), so if someone can fill in the blanks, that'd be awesome...

Need help finding the attendance for the shows with question marks, and to clarify if anything sold out.

[Big Red Machine]

They only drew 850 in Philly? That's not good.

[Burnside]

NYC on 5/14 was a sellout with 1,100 and they need to find a bigger venue in NYC.

[Fawrules]

Wait, what? Did Chicago seriously draw 2,000? I mean, can the Frontier Fieldhouse even hold that many people. You sure they didn't mean something like 1,200? Which would still be a very good crowd for Chicago.

cagematch.net had it listed as 2,000. Just checked last week's WON, and Meltzer has it at 1,500.

I remember them saying that both Korakuen Hall shows were sold out, did they use a different setting for the second day ? I'm pretty sure both Las Vegas shows were sold out in advance (at least that's what they said), just like New York City and Chicago Ridge.

They only drew 850 in Philly? That's not good.

It was a Live Event, promoted/listed as a TV Taping on the website until they change that a couple of weeks before.
I don't know if it made a difference that time but they always drew less on TV Taping.
More importantly, didn't they make their big return at the 2300 arena last year ? And they had the NJPW wrestlers at some point too.

[Burnside]

The first Korakuen Hall show definitely did not sell out. The Vegas TV taping didn't either, but I believe the PPV did (800 would be capacity there).

They did have Omega announced for the show, though it got switched to KUSHIDA a few days beforehand.
