Low Attendance Figures Continue For WWE After Stomping Grounds
We noted before how ticket sales of the Stomping Grounds PPV were not very strong and it appears that this trend has continued to the other WWE Events after the show.
As reported, the ratings for this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw saw only a slight increase and there weren’t a lot of people in the attendance for the show either.
Per Wrestling Observer, Raw had a live audience of around 3500 people, which is the weakest crowd for the Red Branded Show in years.
The same was the case for SmackDown Live as well. While the exact attendance figure for the show is not known, you can check out a photo of empty seats at the hard camera side of the event below:
For those who don’t know, while WWE faced problems selling tickets to Stomping Grounds.
The tickets were moving so slow that the company started offering many discounts for the event. However, even with these efforts, the PPV reportedly had a paid audience of around 4500, for an arena that could hold more than 20000 people.
WWE did respond to these poor sales and rating and as seen on this week’s Raw, the Officials brought back the Undertaker for a match at Extreme Rules. Now it would be interesting to see what other things they try to build their audience back up.
