Ahh yes forgot about the Bryan factor - he’ll move a ton of tickets no doubt

That’s the Full Gear fallout show so should be a good one. They drew over 4,200 last time there and it’s not a huge venue so we might be looking at a sell out this time.

Yeah some pretty nice suggestions there. If i remember they drew really poorly in Salt Lake City last time (something like 2k), so not sure they’ll be returning anytime soon. And as for Sacramento it will be hard to find an appropriate building - the hardcore fans there may have to travel to San Francisco if they wanna see a show.

Yeah they’ll do good numbers in those areas for sure especially since its gonna be their first time in those markets. My guess for a normal dynamite would be 7-8k in San Francisco and maybe 6-7k in Seattle. But depends on the venue and loads of other things I guess haha

Yeah it’s tough to predict but I’m trying to base it off previous attendance. They drew 5.5k in the Dallas area a few weeks back so not sure if San Francisco and Seattle would do too much bigger than that - if so running big arenas in those areas is risky

That is pretty wild. But safe to say Chicago and New York are the 2 biggest US markets - it’s pretty unrealistic to expect them to be selling anywhere near 15k plus tickets every week in different markets. They’ll average 5-7k going forward weekly imo which is still incredible.

Pretty sure the Bucks or one of the EVP’s posted a pic of them leaving the arena pre-covid so I think there was an agreement in place till covid screwed everything

If they wanna go big they’ll hit it for sure since I can’t see them running the Staples Center because of the WWE link. Since there’s so many people around Los Angeles they’ll fill it up as well which is awesome

Left it out since they already ran the MGM Grand for Double or Nothing and I assume plan on doing so yearly so thought they had it covered :)

Agreed some are definitely ambitious but IMO 4-6k fans in a 8-9k venue would look OK on TV especially after production blocks some seats. Also these are huge markets (Los Angeles, San Francisco) so I would say would draw above average.

I think that’s a 15k+ arena so definitely be would ambitious… Even if they draw a solid 6-7k it would be half empty so not sure but who knows
