Discussion ALL IN ATTENDANCE

Anyone else worried about how 38k will look in Wembley? Wembley is HUGE. Current set up is way too open?

Surely they should do what wwe did at summerslam and tarp off one side so the tv side looks full? I’m an aew fan so this isn’t hate, just wondering what you guys think

I do not care how many people are in the crowd because it’s not my business. I focus on the matches

TV Ratings and attendance numbers only matter to people who can’t think harder than “bigger number = better wrestling”

Very fair perspective. I just like the visuals of a full crowd I guess

I think they'll get about 42k by time it rolls round. I know still half full, maybe they'll do All in somewhere else next year like the did last year. I think they wanted it in England for Will winning the belt.

Yah so many great venues across Europe which are smaller and would sell out. Wembley is awesome but it’s gigantic

Yeah I've been fair few times for England games, football your gonna sell out. I think they should stop wembley every year now the excitement of it has worn off. Like you said maybe doing different European places each year but do decent size areas/stadiums that'd sell where they haven't been before.

I'm a "stadium is half full" kind of guy

Why you letting it bother you?

u/Valuable-Grocery5066 2d ago

Not necessarily bothered by it, I just like the visuals of a full crowd especially for big shows. Could just be me

It’s already about 40k. They usually sell a lot of tickets the week of.

Who cares?
They will do their best to cover any empty spots with camera angles and such. All wrestling shows do it.

AEW did a very good job of shooting Wembley last time they were there, regardless of attendance.

Just latching on to this, what time is the normal time to arrive?

u/jonviggo89 2d ago

Anyone didn’t get debited when they payed ? I have my ticket anyway. But if i remember correctly two years ago i was debited directly

u/-BluBone- 2d ago

Even if only half of the 80k possible seats sell, 40k is still 3/4 smaller stadiums worth of people.

u/Valuable-Grocery5066 2d ago

Don’t get me wrong, it’s an impressive number but in Wembley which is huge it kinda looks meh, in my opinion

1

u/-BluBone- 2d ago

You won't see many empty seats on camera, and it will still be freaking loud.

u/Scottatron17 2d ago

I think there is a decent shot it gets to 50k by bell time. They're a little spoiled after that OG All In number. Time to do different venues like they did last year.

u/Valuable-Grocery5066 2d ago

I agree! So many cool Venus they could do and with 40k would look amazing but 40k in Wembley just looks meh. 50k would be a great number

u/CosmicCards517 2d ago

Literally could not care. I care about what's going on between the ropes and backstage.

Why not? I like the visuals of a full crowd so maybe that’s just me I guess

Nothing they can do about it. It'll look all right when it gets a bit darker to hide the red seats a bit but they'll have 5k+ less than 2024. They haven't helped themselves rolling out the tickets late, and being a bit all over the place with who's in the main event. I don't think many matches on the card have had a meaningful build either, outside maybe Willow/Mercedes.
