From hiring top names in the industry to selling show tickets, AEW has been giving tough competition to WWE. Over the past few years, Tony Khan’s promotion has seen tremendous growth in the fan base. Seeing its fan base skyrocket, AEW made a wise decision to take its shows overseas.
Again, Tony Khan is planning to take the AEW shows out of the US. And this time the destination is London, United Kingdom. Khan has booked Wembley Stadium on Sunday, August 27 for its AEW All-In show. This news must have thrilled the London fans, however, a recent update might burst their bubble.

Ideally, Wembley Stadium holds around 90,000 fans. But it looks like the numbers will be much less during the fifth anniversary of the AEW All In show. The promotion has published the seating chart for the Wembley Stadium’s show online. In the seating chart, they have blacked out almost half of the stadium capacity.
It means AEW is planning to cover almost half of the seats for a big stage and backstage purposes. The stage is going to be on the west side and the ring will be in the center of the stadium. A concerned fan on Twitter gave his opinion about the seating arrangement planned by AEW.
According to him, AEW will get to accommodate only around 30,000-40,000 fans inside the stadium in the August show. Nevertheless, this news may come as a disappointment to London-based fans as the number of tickets available for the show will drastically decrease.

This will be the first time AEW hosts an international show in London. Moreover, the tickets for the show will go on sale on Ticketmaster.co.uk. on Friday, May 5 at 9 AM BST. Additionally, tickets will also be available for pre-sale for the show a few days earlier on the same platform.
Talking about London, AEW is not the only promotion that planned an event in London this year. AEW’s rival promotion, WWE has also planned to hold an event in the same city, after a long time. This year’s WWE Money in the Bank PLE will go to London. The event will take place at The O2 Arena on Saturday, July 1, 2023.
