AEW sold over 10,000 tickets for today’s pre-sale for “The First Dance” event that will be held on August 20 in Chicago, Illinois at United Center. Twitter.com/WrestleTix reported earlier that only 286 seats remained of the current allotment. An hour of the event will air live on the second edition of AEW Rampage on TNT.
Powell’s POV: While there are plenty tickets left to sell one the general sale starts Monday, AEW is off to an fantastic start for the show built around the strong tease of CM Punk returning to pro wrestling. The listed venue for concerts is listed as 20,500 (up to 22,428 with standing room only).
After going through the second by second numbers as sections were being opened up, AEW sold more than 10,000 tickets today so far for the The First Dance at the United Center.

So Punk basically HAS to be there now right?
Maybe via satellite?
