AEW outselling WWE in ticket sales in a major way for an upcoming New York show
AEW seems to be far ahead of WWE in ticket sales for an upcoming event at the newly-built UBS Arena in New York.
WWE is scheduled to have an episode of RAW from the arena on November 29th. RAW Tag Team Champion Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, RAW Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and Bobby Lashley are some of the names advertised. Despite the presence of big names, ticket sales have been disappointing so far.
As per WrestleTix, WWE RAW has sold just 2,365 tickets, with the estimated capacity being 7,398. Around 68%, i.e., 5,033, tickets are still available as per the latest update shared on Twitter. Check out the ticket sales for WWE RAW below:

However, it's also worth noting that AEW opened the ticket sales a little earlier than WWE. There's a chance that Vince McMahon's company could still catch up with AEW's numbers in the coming weeks.

Plus, the recent AEW All Out 2021 was the company's most successful pay-per-view so far in terms of buy rates. With momentum on its side, it doesn't come as a surprise that AEW is outselling WWE RAW in ticket saasjust like it has been doing in ratings in the key demographic in recent weeks.
