With pro wrestling shows having been hugely restricted in recent months by a lack of fans in arenas, now comes word that All Elite Wrestling is soon to begin selling tickets to their live shows once again.
From The Wrestling Observer, AEW is putting tickets on sale this Friday - as in tomorrow! - for the following Thursday’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
While Dynamite will continue to emanate from the 5,500-capacity Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida, the initial plan of attack for AEW is to operate with limited crowds of 10% of that capacity – meaning Dynamite should have a maximum of 550 fans in attendance for those first few weeks.

Going forward, it all goes well, AEW plans to increase that number to 15% of capacity down the line, which would mean 825 fans allowed in the building.
For those who are lucky enough to grab themselves a ticket to one of these Dynamite shows – which are believed to be airing live, rather than the taped shows we’ve show in recent times – you’ll have to wear a face covering at all times, be socially distanced from those not in your group, and temperatures will be checked upon entry to Daily’s Place.

As for the groupings, as per federal and state guidelines, tickets will be sold for seating pods that can hold up to six people.
Tickets for the August 27th episode of AEW Dynamite will go on sale on AEWTix.com and Ticketmaster this Friday.
