The tickets for All Elite Wrestling’s second and third TV tapings went on sale today – and just like that, both events are completely sold out.

Both the October 9th and October 16th TNT shows sold out in just over an hour. The tickets for both events went on sale at 12pm ET, and AEW confirmed all tickets had sold out at 1:07pm.

After debuting on TNT on Wednesday, October 2nd from the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., the October 9th episode on AEW’s weekly television product will emanate from the Agganis Arena in Boston, while the October 16th show will be held at Philadelphia’s Liacouras Center.

AEW has still yet to officially announce the name of their weekly TNT show, but we do know that the episodes will air live from 8pm – 10pm Eastern Time each and every Wednesday.

Going hard from the get-go, All Elite already has some major matches announced for all three of its first TNT episodes.

That TNT premiere will see Chris Jericho teaming with two mystery partners to face The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, not to mention the first ever AEW Women’s Champion being crowned. As for the second episode, the big selling points of that outing are Jon Moxley vs. Shawn Spears and then The Young Bucks battling Private Party as part of the AEW Tag Team Championships tournament.

For that third episode, both the AEW World Championship and the AEW Women’s World Championship will be defended.
