WWE has a problem
Check out all these empty seats for Hell In The Cell. Maybe everyone came for the Dolph Ziggler match and then left.
It dont matter who did what to who at this point. The fact is, we went to war. And now there aint no going back. It's what war is you know? Once you're in it, you're in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie, but we gotta fight! |

This was the third match on the card. Maybe they all just came to see Orton vs Rusev. |

I keep seeing pictures like this. Is this an issue for real or some type of joke?

Damn. Never really figured wrestling would die but maybe it will happen in the next few years.

They have apparently raised their ticket prices a lot in the past couple of years so that has something to do with it also

Having a hard time believing a fat mark and a healthy dose of nepotism isnt filling the seats

Honestly, the only 2 people that could get me to a WWE event is Braun and Cena atm.

MAYBE a AJ and Orton match for the SD side but only if they are going against each other. And that's still a maybe depending on the build up around it.

They might have been bought by Stubhub abusers and then attempted to be re-sold. If that is true WWE gets the money and it's a sell out

It seems like a growing problem, for both RAW and SD (but worse for SD).

Their largest demographic watching their tv program is around age 50 each week -- that obviously is not the future -- ticket prices being high would make it tough to get tickets for a whole family to attend.

I seriously doubt that many people bought tickets on StubHub and attempted to re-sell them.

Clearly no one is a draw. Shane and Owens might have been the BIGGEST draw on the card. That says alot about the rest. Including the Mahal experiment.

I mean no one currently available on the full-time roster. Obviously, if they could have thrown Lesnar vs Cena on the card, Shane and Owens could have fucked right off to the opening match.

Switch to smaller venues and increase ticket prices. That would be my move. #nintendosealofapproval

I feel like WWE would rather continue with the delusion that they're bigger than ever than "admit defeat" and scale back the venues.

A packed house in a smaller arena would make the atmosphere feel better/less embarassing and improve the quality of the show though. As would the show not being boring in general. One step at a time though.

That all depends on if the RAW/SD/PPV set could fit in the smaller venues, I don't see them scaling down the set for tv.
That said, many of the new 'smaller scale' arenas could definitely host WWE. When they come here to Wichita for TV they usually sell around 3k seats in a 15k venue with half the place blocked off. I've wondered why they don't just use the smaller arena in the city that seats 5k and is only a few years old instead. |

I think a lot of Casino Arenas are usually smaller as well (not including Vegas obviously) and seat from 3 -7 k.

Something around this size seems like a good fit for WWE + Can raise ticket prices as Destor mentioned:

Fuck that raising prices nonsense. It's expensive enough as is, especially if you want half way decent seats. Plus if they can't sell tickets now, raising prices would probably make even less people buy them.
