Chris Jericho asked for a thank you from AEW when Double or Nothing and All Out sold out. Thus, it’s no surprise that he wants it when it comes to the premiere episode of AEW on TNT selling out on Friday.
In just three hours, the event sold out when the tickets went on sale. Jericho took to his official Instagram account to write and share this video:
The event will take place on Wednesday, October 2 from the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC. In an update on ticket sales, AEW sold more than 9,200 tickets over two hours, according to Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com.
This was confirmed after Bryan Alvarez mentioned on Wrestling Observer Live that between 9,200 and 10,000 tickets were sold. 2,000 tickets were bought by scalpers, who put them up for sale on the secondary market.
