Is it really was so bad in Baltimore,or just not clear information from Meltzer?And some problems in Hammerstein,as I think they can burn out this market.

[ROHFanAnthony]

A sellout for the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC is 2500 give or take. Going in, this wasn't an appealing card so I'm not surprised it didn't sell out.

[Marketh.]

It doesn't help that it's Davey vs Eddie in New York AGAIN.

[RoaringElbow]

clearly the company is going out of business. Commence freaking out

[DieHard]

Hmmm, looks like bullshit. Look at this: http://www.pwchronicle.com/2012/03/03/3 ... ilers-fun/ - Attendance about usual, 800.

[Heyzel]

it no way the tv taping was 450 people it was every bit of 800 hundred people there and the april 7 show sold out within hours of the show ending roh is doing good business here in Baltimore, I just hope the market do not get over saturated I think after the april 7 show they need to take a break for at least 2 months

[YimYac]

The first TV taping had so many people they needed more seats

No way it's 450 after only like 2 tapings.

They REALLY need to get out of NYC for the iPPVs. These have been the ONLY shows that have felt important, in the least. Maybe barring the Philadelphia show, which had a unique card and drew over 500 for a Friday night. And I really see the NYC shows, at this point, as a market that's going to get the same 1,500 no matter what, and largely dull crowds. Imagine them taking an iPPV to the Baltimore venue? 800 and super hot crowds just for TV. If they did an iPPV there they could EASILY do 1,000+ and immediately establish a legitimate market. This isn't just for Baltimore. They barely have a solidified #2 market. Chicago Ridge easily, but #3? Anyone? It's really a shame.

So many odd aspects to some of the business decisions being made at the moment. Booking isn't helping.

Yeah, and look at this (from ROH fb page)

agreed but I starting to think that the du burns arena is starting to get too small for the promotion if the april 7 show sold out in 2 hours could you imagine how many people they will have to turn away at the door don't get me wrong the du burns arena is in the ideal part of town downtown Baltimore but I think they will have to go to a bigger venue

Doesn't look like the upper balcony had over 1,000 empty seats.

Umm, 3rd row tickets are still available for the April 7th TV Taping...it did not sell out by any means yet.

[Heyzel]

at the event it was said that the tickets was sold out that was available at the door they must have add ticket online I have no reason to lie homie

When you buy tickets at the TV tapings they offer a $10 discount (at least they did at the January tapings), it could've been they sold out of the discount tickets.

[Heyzel]

that's what happen they ran out of the discounted tickets but I can see roh having even bigger tv taping attendance as we get into the spring/summer months

[GardenStateSaint]

Does the Hammerstein sell out with Steen vs. Richards and a couple NOAH guys?

[JigsawVs.Jason]

Does the Hammerstein sell out with Steen vs. Richards and a couple NOAH guys?

A definite YES, but I guess the NOAH thing won't happen anytime soon unfortunately

[WrestlingMatters]

Does the Hammerstein sell out with Steen vs. Richards and a couple NOAH guys?

I think it does.

[GardenStateSaint]

June is soon? They did tease it a few months back. And I'm not suggesting Steen vs. Richards happen then, just posing a hypothetical.

[TYFDK]

I agree with ninetwentyfour. They do need to get out of NYC for iPPV's. It just doesn't look as cool as running different venues is. There hasn't been one done outside of New York since LAST YEAR'S WM double-shot.
Once BITW '12 is done, they should really look into going to Chicago for one, someone suggested Baltimore getting one, that'd be cool. Maybe even if Dayton does well next month and the venue looks decent they could have one there.
But having them just at the Hammerstein looks bush-league. That's one mistake from TNA that they're not doing differently.
