Tony Khan: AEW All In holds record for ‘most paid fans ever’ at wrestling event

This post has been updated.

AEW head Tony Khan took to Twitter Sunday to proclaim that Sunday’s All In from London’s Wembley Stadium is now the record holder for “the most paid fans ever at any pro wrestling event.”

During the show, the attendance was announced as 81,035 which they referred to as “a new worldwide record for a pro wrestling event.”

Ticket revenue for Sunday’s event was previously said to be “in the neighborhood” of $10 million earlier this week. 

The number will undoubtedly come with some dispute from WWE who traditionally announces total attendance and not a breakdown of paid vs. comped tickets. One example Thurston noted is that he is confident sold tickets for 2016’s WrestleMania 32 fell between 78,000 and 83,000.

On this past Tuesday’s pre-All In media call, Khan was non-committal at providing an audit of the show to quell any controversy that would be bound to arise after the show.
