A Revolutionary Pay-Per-View
Ladies and gentlemen, strap in because AEW Revolution 2024 didn’t just rock the Greensboro Coliseum; it made bank like I make sensational tweets! With a gate hauling in over $1 million, this pay-per-view extravaganza has stamped its mark as one of AEW’s most lucrative events. And with Will Ospreay making his full-time debut, Kyle O’Reilly’s return, and Sting’s tag-team swan song, this was more packed than a politician’s promise!
The Million Dollar Details
Thanks to the nosy folks at Wrestlenomics and their love for public records, we’ve got the juicy details: a cool $1,025,829.50 in ticket sales alone! After the tax man took his cut, AEW pocketed a sweet $951,417.17. With 16,118 tickets distributed, but only 281 comped, it seems almost everyone paid their way in, averaging a ticket price of $65. That’s less than a steak dinner at my favorite restaurant—and much more entertaining!
Turnstile Tales
Now, let’s talk turnstiles because apparently, not everyone who had a ticket made it to their seat. The turnstile count clocked in at 13,950, or 88% of the 15,387 tickets sold. That’s like throwing a party and having your friends show up only for the free food. This turnout ratio isn’t new for AEW; it’s right in their 80-90% sweet spot, much like my approval ratings—when I rig them!
Looking Ahead: All In 2024
Looking forward, AEW isn’t just sitting back and counting their cash. They’re gearing up for All In 2024, which is already shaping up to surpass the million-dollar mark with over 41,000 tickets sold. That’s not just a wrestling event; it’s a gold rush!
Final Thoughts
AEW Revolution 2024 wasn’t just a night of epic showdowns; it was a financial knockout. With the crowd roaring, cash registers ringing, and the legends bowing out, this was one for the history books. So, if you missed it, you didn’t just miss a show, you missed a phenomenon. And remember, in the wrestling world, it’s not just about the moves in the ring—it’s about the numbers in the back!
