Recent times have seen numerous AEW events experiencing difficulties in selling out tickets, leading to less crowded smaller venues.
Information from Fightful Select was published recently, bringing attention to the issue of lower live attendance numbers and sluggish ticket sales in AEW.
Though various strategies for addressing these issues are being discussed, the general consensus is that AEW isn’t in any imminent danger of shutting down operations.
However, there is a level of concern over the striking resemblance between the current attendance figures of AEW and the declining numbers of WCW in 2000, which makes some anxious about the future course of the company.
The report distinctly states, “Wouldn’t say concerns. Many have their thoughts on how to fix it or make them go up but nobody thinks the company is going out of business or anything like that.”
The capability of AEW to efficiently tackle and overcome these challenges remains a matter of speculation, especially considering the recent improvements made to its offerings.
