AEW is going to London this year for its upcoming PPV. This will be the first AEW event that will take place outside the United States. The event will take place at Wembley Stadium on August 27, 2023. This will be the second pro wrestling event to be held in the London-based arena after WWE SummerSlam 1992.

That being said, Wrestling Observer recently tweeted that AEW sold 35,000 tickets during its All In pre-sale. However, ESPN reporter Mike Coppinger made a comment about the situation that didn’t sit well with Tony Khan.

Commenting on the WON post, the ESPN reporter stated he has heard that AEW will only sell around 4ok tickets for its All In PPV. He then compared it to a boxing match, which featured Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte in opposite corners.

The bout took place on Sunday 23 April 2022 at Wembley Stadium, which saw Fury walking out victorious. He mentioned that the boxing event filled  94,000 seats at Wembley which the Jacksonville-based promotion is far from achieving.

This tweet pierced Khan’s heart like a sharp arrow. In response, he lashed out at Coppinger. He questioned his credibility as a reporter and even accused him of spreading false misinformation to the people.

Well, Coppinger is not the only one who pointed out the availability of seats in the upcoming August AEW PPV.

Fans expressed their concern about the less seat count in AEW All In event

A while ago, AEW published the seating chart for its All In event online. Fans could see AEW blacking out almost half of the stadium.

In the picture, it can be clearly seen that the company has marked the west side of the arena out for creating a big stage and backstage area.

This led the fans to point out that the Jacksonville-based promotion will not reach the average 90,000 audience seat count during the event. London-based fans were enthralled about AEW coming to their city. But fewer availability of seats during the event kind of put them off a little.

As for now, the exact count of seat availability for AEW All-In is unknown. Fans will have to wait to find out how many seats the promotion actually manages to put out for their audience at Wembley Stadium.
