AEW Adds Even More Seats Hours Before Worlds End

AEW’s Worlds End pay-per-view is drawing massive last-minute demand—and the company is doing everything it can to squeeze in more fans.

Just four hours before the December 27 show at the NOW Arena, WrestleTix issued a fresh update revealing that AEW expanded the venue’s seating yet again, bringing the total setup to 8,848 seats. According to the latest count, 8,836 tickets have already been distributed, with only 12 standard tickets still available.

“Seats have been added to the hard cam section (C103). The ‘total # of seats on map’ number went up by 100 seats because of new rows being added to Floor Sections A, B, C,” the report confirmed.

This is AEW’s second seating boost within 24 hours. Earlier, additional rows were added to Floor Sections D and E, plus the front of Section C101, most of which sold out instantly. The venue’s capacity has now increased by nearly 250 seats since yesterday, showing just how hot demand is heading into AEW’s final pay-per-view of 2025. Comparatively, this year’s Worlds End has already outdrawn:

• Dynamite: Beach Break (5/14/25) – 4,982
• All Out 2024 – 8,660
• Last year’s Worlds End (Orlando, FL) – 7,005

Tickets remain at a starting price of $37.95, with 131 available on the resale market as fans continue to hunt for last-minute access.

With a blockbuster main event featuring Samoa Joe (c) vs. Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Page vs. MJF, AEW is pulling every lever to make sure no seat goes unfilled.
