AEW Dynamite tickets this week selling well below year to date average

AEW Dynamite Darby Allin vs Speedball Mike Bailey May 2026

This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite takes place from Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, ME, and ticket sold for the show are currently way down on the year to date average for All Elite Wrestling.

According to the latest report from WrestleTix, 2,273 tickets have been distributed for the show. The current year to date average for the company’s live events is 3,264, so nearly 1k below. For context, the last promotion to run the building was WWE, who sold 3,648 tickets for an event in the building as part of the WWE Live Holiday Tour on 12/3/2023.

It isn’t all ‘meh’ news for AEW ticket sales this week though, as Double or Nothing in New York this weekend has been selling extremely well.
