This does seem a theme at wrestling, doesn't it? 😔

Fixed.

Fixed even more.   It's not an AEW thing and it's not a UK fan thing.   It's probably not even a wrestling thing.

But I've sat behind/in front of/next to some absolute morons at shows in America.

Never say never, but I don't see them being able to replicate the novelty of the 1st Wembley that saw the 70-80k crowd. It's like saying WrestleKingdom was a sell-out this year, so it can be next. However, I do think they've stumbled into a bit of a formula for All In that can see it better the attendance of 2024.

If they keep the Owen Hart Cup winners as facing the World Champions at All In that should at least keep a decent focus on two central selling points. Swerve v. Danielson, Storm v. May and Hangman v. Moxley, Storm v. Mone have paid off. 

Casino Gauntlet Match(es) Gets people on the card. Lets some surprises happen. Easier to explain to someone who only watches casually, than the meaningless stakes of the 10+ team plunder matches. Can disappear for 15-20 minutes on a piss break/merch/food and all you've really missed is entrance music. 

Then with what's left hopefully get some decent stuff and not Hook v. Jericho or Darby Allin v. Jack Perry.

Never experienced it at WWE in 30+ years. Not a pop at AEW, who have put on some great events here.

Honestly I think it just comes down to luck of the draw. Whatever you're seeing and wherever you're seeing it. The world is full of twats.

Yes, but that suggests particular bad luck at AEW shows, going off the board, not just me. 😂

Had no trouble at either of the All Ins, still scarred from December taping though!

What numbers are people anticipating for this? 

Comparable to the Danielson one? 

And what outside attractions are on the table, potentially? 

You'd imagine they'll at least try for AJ Styles.

I've experienced it at every WWE show I've been to. 

What's worse than the crap jokes and snark is the apathy. You feel like these types don't even care about what they're watching. They're not there to get lost in something and enjoy it.

Anyway,  crowd wise if (and it's a moderately sized if) they can do an Ospreay title match, get AJ Styles in for a dream match type thing and an Edge and Christian ladder/TLC match I think that'll be enough to draw in enough of both the die hards and casuals for a decent showing.

I don't really have much interest in a full time AJ Styles but I'd be well up for them bringing him in for a one off dream match against Omega or Ospreay. And if they offer him big money for one match in Wembley Stadium you'd imagine he'd be up for it.

Danielson would also be great but sounds like he is physically fucked. Maybe as part of a multi man tag.

Watch TK splash a massive load of money on AJ just to do the Daniels/AJ/Joe triple Threat as the main event of WrestleMania. 

I am genuinely considering going to this, but one of the allures of the first All In was there were cheap tickets to be had, I think we paid £30 for the cheap seats. Presumably that won't happen again?

I think you'll be okay.

For the most part I've got my AEW tickets immediately upon release, then realise I've paid way over the odds when seats in my section are going for a third of what I paid the week before the show. So this year I'm going to get my accomodation and travel sorted early then just pay for a ticket a few days beforehand in the hope I'm getting a bargain.

From what I remember it was easier to get really good tickets for lower prices at the most recent stadium show. I'm pretty sure if you bought the week of the show you could get some really good seats for £80 or so.
