AEW Grand Slam: Australia Slashes Ticket Prices with 2-for-1 Deal After Struggling Sales

AEW’s Grand Slam: Australia is shaping up to be a big moment for the company’s international expansion, but ticket sales aren’t exactly living up to the hype. After moving the event from Suncorp Stadium to the much smaller Brisbane Entertainment Centre, AEW is now offering two-for-one ticket deals to fill the remaining seats.

During a discussion on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez revealed that fans received emails on Saturday offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal for the February 15 event. Dave Meltzer didn’t hold back on what that meant for ticket sales.

“Oh wow, so that tells you not only—it’s not even the last two, three weeks out. That tells me there are a lot of seats left.”

This revelation comes after AEW’s initial plan to pack a 52,000-seat stadium fell apart, forcing them to relocate to a 13,500-seat venue. While the move may create a more intimate atmosphere, the need for last-minute discounting has only fueled speculation that the show isn’t moving tickets the way AEW had hoped.

Despite the struggles, AEW still has a loaded card, with Toni Storm vs. Mariah May being one of the most anticipated rematches of the year. The event is also set to air after TNT’s All-Star Saturday Night, which means a 21-hour delay for U.S. viewers—another decision that’s raised eyebrows.
