WWE Survivor Series is rolling into Los Angles this Sunday, but the Staples Center will play host to 4 big shows. But if you look at the ticket sales, only one of those shows is likely to be a full house.
Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that the tickets are not moving for SmackDown and at this point, prices have dropped to a very low point in order to try and encourage people to stick around till Tuesday.

“I don’t know the advance for [NXT TakeOver: WarGames] I saw a seat map and there were tons of tickets available at the NXT show. The Sunday show [Survivor Series] is sold out but the NXT show — I don’t a number but it was tons and the secondary market is very weak for every show on this tour except for — Survivor Series is weaker on the secondary market than most of your big pay-per-views have been, much weaker. But the other three, you know.”
“Raw has a ton of tickets left too when I last saw the chart but SmackDown is the one that’s going to be scary from what I understand. They got tickets available at $9 now so you know that it’s weak right now.”

The SmackDown Live after a big event is often the one that takes a hit when it comes to the crowd. People have already had 3 days of wrestling if not longer and the Tuesday show is often left off of fans’ agendas — or they run out of money.
In a way, it’s a good thing that they’re moving to Fridays next year so they won’t have that issue because WWE could be in a fresh town by then ready to put on what is likely to become the A-Show for WWE.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
