If this is the problem at a PPV taping I imagine it might be a bigger issue at house shows.
Really I guess it depends on how reliant they are on ticket/merch sales as part of their income. Risk is reaction is to put up prices which further drives away customers, which then drives prices up further etc.
If they aren't really reliant on sales then it is less of an issue, but I remember reading that actually it's a pretty big element of revenue so could become a slightly more critical issue.
The fact they seem to be responding by reuniting the Shield and taking some steps to attract fans might show this could become more serious.
Be interesting to see if we see further cost cutting initiatives in future, such as releases or show set changes.
