NJPW’s New Beginning in the USA tour is sold-out. Both the January 30th show in Los Angeles and the February 1st’s show in Charlotte, NC were sold-out in mere minutes today.
Kevin Kelly broke the news on Twitter:
So LA @njpw1972 show is sold out. Totally clean in less than 20 minutes. January 30th at the Globe Theater is going to be rocking!

As is usually the case for any sold-out event, a limited number of tickets could be put on sale at a later date.
If you got shut out for @njpw1972 tickets for #NJNBG in Charlotte, do not despair! There is a chance more tickets could be put on sale soon. All great seats at Grady Cole! Keep checking pic.twitter.com/pIKBO6TuLf

Expected Attendance At NJPW New Beginning USA
Charlotte, North Carolina’s Grady Cole Center is listed at holding 3,000-3,9000 people. It’s hard to find attendance numbers for LA’s Globe Theatre. PWG held a show there in the spring. One website lists 1500 as a possible capacity but I have no idea how reliable it is.

Tickets to New Year’s Dash, NJPW’s “Night after WK” in Korakuen Hall, are sold to only club members and are said to be nearly impossible to obtain.
The strong ticket sales are the latest in a string of good financial news for the company. A report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter earlier this week stated the company’s total earnings are up 25% this year.
