I’m so happy I was able to grab tickets. They’re in the 200s but for this I don’t care. Any other show I would’ve said that and not gone had those been the only seats I could get but I couldn’t miss this. They sold out a 10k seat arena in under 30 minuets. I’m so happy for Cody and the bucks and for wrestling as a whole right now. This is going to make a difference in wrestling and it’s gonna show that wwe isn’t it if you wanna be a star in pro wrestling. i can not ing wait to go to this. It’s too bad dusty isn’t here to see what Cody is doing.

Wow, amazing. Good for these guys. 25,000 seat next year? “Even More In”?

I gotta admit, i was wrong. Did not expect them to sell out the building. Awesome for these guys to sell the venue out. Hopefully theres a way to watch the show when it happens.

Best thing about the sell out, when I checked StubHub, only 315 tickets were listed there. That means fans and NOT scalpers are responsible for the sell out.
I don't have the ratio conversion, but I know when Mania 34 tickets went on sale, there were 400 on StubHub minutes after the pre-sale. (that's based on recollection and memory. I don't have data to back that. I do know I was trying to find better seats when I went on TM and had to go to StubHub to see what was out there. I remember seeing more than 400 available and it was only within 30 minutes.I assume by the end of hour 1, there were more listed.

I wonder if they'll be multiple All In's next year because this year's is clearly a success.

Doubt it, they probably won't make a profit even with the full sell-out. Lmao what? How’d you come up with that? Show promotion. Paying workers. Paying for the building. Getting necessary permits. Paying health workers, security, etc. 10,000 seat venue isn't cheap to pay for. Some of the workers will want their travel and lodging covered. Like....there's a lot more into running a show than "Oh if you sell out an arena, you'll pull a profit." Raw sells out 15K-18K weekly. Every. Week. 52 weeks a year. Yeah 10K is alright because 3 guys are doing it themselves, but they're gonna have to work HARD to pull a profit if they're actually funding it 100% themselves.

But I honestly don’t think they care. If they cared about making a profit they would’ve charged a lot more for tickets. I think to Cody and the bucks it’s more to make a point and say, you don’t gott be in wwe to be a star in pro wrestling and you don’t gotta be wwe to sell out a show that big. That’s Atleast how I think they’re looking at it. I hope they make a profit cause this is a lot for 3 guys to pull off, but either way I’m hapoy for the guys cause they sold it out, they sold out all the bracelets for starrcast and they aren’t being backed by any wrestling companies and they’re changing pro wrestling with this show. So weather they make money or not, this is a success

Really, I listened to Cody Rhodes on Busted Open the day after the event sold out, and he said they’re actually under budget. Talked about doing pyro for the show.

On the Edge and Christian Podcast Cody mentioned that since the show has sold out they don't need the money they've set aside for marketing, so that money will be put into other aspects of the event.
As for the talent involved in the show I am sure that many of them could be working for less than they would otherwise to be a part of the show and to help their friends out. This show could easily turn a profit if things are done right.

I’m not arguing for the sake of arguing either, I have no idea what all goes into booking and the expenses of running an event, as I’m sure the majority of us don’t. I just don’t see how they couldn’t turn any profit after selling out a 10,000 seat arena with tickets at what? 50 a piece? That’s $500,000 right there. Plus the merch sales for this event and weekend are going to be crazy high.

Everything's been on the internet and word of mouth. Besides, they're going to sell a metric ton of merchandise. Plus I'm sure this is going to be filmed so we'll be about to buy it or pay to stream it. They may not come out very far ahead but they'll come out ahead. That doesn't even take into account all the money they'll be able to make after the show. They'll probably be more in demand and have higher profiles than ever.

It's really striking to me that they wouldn't attempt to stream this, especially with the rumors of Punk being involved.

Someone asked about streaming it a TV deal a while back and one of the Bucks said that it depends on how well the tickets sell. And after the show sold out Cody said that some extra tickets might be made available if they release the area they have reserved for TV cameras. I can't imagine that this won't be filmed for a DVD release at the very least. If they don't stream it then maybe AXS will air it. Either way, I'm sure we'll be watching it live. Anyone up for a live chat thread like they do with the WWE shows?

This all depends on the avg price per ticket. But just on ticket sales I would think they could turn a small profit after everyone got paid. Now we get into merchandise and DVD sales and streaming, could be a nice payday for the Bucks/Cody.
