Tony Khan says AEW Worlds End is a “clean sellout.”

Tonight’s pay-per-view is set for the NOW Arena just outside of Chicago. On the afternoon of the show, Khan posted to social media that the event is now sold out.

Khan wrote:

“TONIGHT’s #AEWWorldsEnd PPV will be a clean sellout, with the @NOW_Arena packed with awesome wrestling fans!
AEW is having a fantastic year, and the final @AEW PPV of 2025 is TONIGHT!
Join the wrestling world that will be watching AEW Worlds End TONIGHT!”

As of press time for the most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, just over 8,200 tickets had been distributed to the show. WrestleTix reported on Saturday afternoon that the number had risen to 8,836. The last pay-per-view AEW held in the building was All Out 2024, which drew 8,660.

Dave Meltzer wrote of the event in this week’s newsletter:

“A true sellout would be 9,412 but staging could lower that to a little less. It will be very close to a sellout and look full for television, but it’s not a sure thing it will actually sell out.”

“The last AEW PPV show in Chicago at the building was All Out 2024, the traditional show, which did 8,660, so this should beat that number. But to me Chicago should sell out the NOW Arena for a PPV show and this will come very close to doing so”

He noted that the get-in price on the secondary market was $54.
