Joey Joe Joe Jr Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Does anyone know if there will be limits on how many tix you can buy in one go for the London o2 taping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Depends where your buying them from. Ticketmaster normally allows you to buy upto 10 don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Joe Joe Jr Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yeah? That would be a big help if so, my group are struggling to sort out whose buying what atm. Â Any more insight into this would be great, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicsGuy Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 No Manchester or Liverpool dates. Â First time in 7 years that a WWE U.K. tour hasn't had at least one North West date on it (last time being the April 2007 tour). Â Liverpool has paid the price for a poorly attended Smackdown taping in November 2011 (3,500 - lowest attended UK WWE tv taping ever; WWE hasn't been back to Liverpool since, not even for a house show). Â This week Manchester had a sellout for the Raw taping, but only did 4,500 fans for the Smackdown taping the next night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlingmad Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I think they should start spreading the tapings. As in for example RAW in Manchester on the Monday and Smackdown on the Tuesday in London. I'd imagine that would increase the attendance for Smackdown, people can't afford to go to both tapings. They're expensive man, plus who wants to go to Smackdown rather than Raw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazz Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 It's been said time and time again, but I'll say it again. Â It's a scandal that Scotland hasn't had a tapings. The Glasgow shows could generally sell out twice over, so they'd be guaranteed a good gate at them. With the Hydro here now, they could easily run a tapings here.

Â Is that legit? 4.5k people in the 20k+ Manchester Arena? That's absolutely shocking. I don't follow WWE much these days outside the big 4 PPV's but I thought business was better than that.

Â All the upper tiers were covered, as were a bunch of lower tier blocks not on the TV side. Not sure if the numbers are right, but it was nowhere near full. It was the same in November last November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think the hype of a tv taping would sell well in the Hydro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallicks Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Don't they run a house show elsewhere on the Tuesday as well? I can't imagine that helps matters much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Meltzer reported it. He's usually spot on when it comes to attendance figures from within the company, plus I was there and it certainly tallies with what I saw. It was an identical looking gate to what TNA had in January for the Impact taping in Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â The Manchester Arena isn't 20k+. The 13,000+ they had for RAW was a legit sellout. Â Â I was at Smackdown as well and 4.5k sounds right from what I saw. I was in Row E in front of the hard camera and there was literally no one behind me apart from ring crew and the guys who work at the cameras and laptops. The entire upper tier was covered, as was the lower tiers behind to my left. Â It's a shame but you can't blame people not wanting to go to a show with half the people that were on it the night before at the same price. Â It's a problem that's going to keep hitting WWE until they put everyone on one tour. Â That said, the RAW tapings being sold out will hopefully bode well for Manchester in the future.
