As we previously reported here on eWn, WWE set a record for the Madison Square Garden Holiday Tour live event on Tuesday night, which was the highest-grossing domestic non-televised event in WWE history.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that the paid attendance for the December 26th live event was the largest for a post-Christmas show at Madison Square Garden in over a decade.
The Holiday Tour live event had 15,831 fans in attendance with 14,300 paid. This is the highest since 2012, which had 14,500 attendees.
Much of the success can be attributed in part to CM Punk, as ticket sales skyrocketed after the Second City Saint was announced for the MSG event.
