10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2012 Facts

10. The Crowd Was A Major Disappointment

The 2012 Survivor Series took place at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN, a city that has held at least one of each Big Four pay-per-view except for the Royal Rumble. In 2008, SummerSlam in the same venue drew a sliver under 16,000 fans for the season's biggest event. The 2012 Survivor Series by comparison would greatly pale.

Four years and three months after drawing 16,000 to the same building, WWE managed only 8500 for the 2012 Survivor Series. When your attendance for a "major" pay-per-view is only half of what you did four years previously, that's a bad sign.

The Wrestling Observer noted that one respondent claimed many fans in his section had gotten in for free. The Observer also reported there being many ticket giveaways in the run-up to the show, through radio contests and the like.
