AEW Double or Nothing is facing another post-show complaint, this time from a fan who says his paid seats were taken over by production equipment.
A fan took to Twitter after Double or Nothing and claimed he was robbed because production equipment was set up in the ADA seating area where he said his seats were located. According to the fan, he paid for seats but had to stand during the show before eventually leaving halfway through.
“#Robbed. I paid for seats and the Production crew set up their equipment and we had to stand all night. End up leaving half way through the show. It was in the handicapped section too. When I asked the worker they said ‘we’re not moving’”
When someone asked whether the production crew was blocking his view and why he had to stand if he had purchased seats, the fan explained that the issue was not just visibility. He said the production crew had taken over the ADA seating area where his seats were supposed to be: “Because the production crew took over the ada seating area where my seats were purchased for.”
The fan then added more context, explaining that he had purchased two ADA seats, which were supposed to include folding chairs. However, he claimed that production equipment was placed in that area instead.
“I paid for 2 seats, these seats are different because they have folding chairs for people who purchased these seats (ada seats). However the production crew set up their equipment there.”
This complaint comes after another post-show issue from AEW Double or Nothing at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. After the pay-per-view ended, one fan uploaded a video showing a large crowd stuck outside the venue and claimed exits were shut down with no train access available.
The travel issue appeared to be tied to Double or Nothing running extremely late, which created problems for fans who were relying on public transportation after the show. AEW pay-per-views are known for long runtimes, but this time the late ending became a real post-show complaint.
Between the late-night travel issues and this ADA seating claim, AEW and the venue may have some questions to answer about how the live event experience was handled. AEW Double or Nothing delivered plenty inside the ring, but some fans clearly left the venue frustrated for reasons that had nothing to do with the matches. If more complaints surface, the post-show logistics and seating setup could become a bigger issue than AEW expected.
Do you think AEW and the venue should address the ADA seating complaint from Double or Nothing? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comments.
