TNA's UK Tour A Success

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

TNA's recent UK tour was considered a big success for the company. They drew 1,600 fans in Liverpool at the Olympia on 6/12 just shy of a sellout, on 6/13 in the same arena they drew a sellout of 1,650, on 6/14 in Coventry they drew 3,000 fans in a 3,200 seat arena and on 6/15 in Essex they drew 2,000.

According to reports, many of the younger TNA talents considered it a tour of a lifetime because the crowd was so hot and into the product. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles were really said to have enjoyed the shows since they were treated as huge stars along with the more established talent. Many felt they should have taped another Global Impact special for the tour considering how exciting the crowds were every night, although they did tape some footage.

In regards to some statements by TNA that they had interest in returning to the UK for a Pay Per View, while the crowds would be hot, many don't see it as a good idea. A PPV would have to begin at 1:00 a.m. in the UK to air in the US unless they did it on a tape delay. The costs of sending a crew overseas is very expensive (with one report saying they were going to be lucky to break even on the most recent tour), so using a local crew is out of the question and especially for a PPV broadcast. As a comparison, buyrates for UFC PPV's held overseas have not done well and WWE has completely avoided running a PPV overseas as well with the exception of TV tapings on a delay.

Pretty cool! :3dflagsdotcom_ukeng

Any show would be when you give away 3000+ free tickets.

See Roxxi, i can randomly show up in a thread about a company i dont give a shit about and randomly bash them too

They didn't give away any tickets, don't talk shit when you don't know anything. I went to one of the shows, all the tickets sold out on the website more or less.

I believe that says it gave away 5000 tickets? Maybe not for the exact show you were at, but they still did it for their show, so how about YOU shut up before you know what Im talking about.

there is a little difference between Southaven, Mississippi , and the UK you know..:shifty:

^Ya Im aware of that, but what I posted is actually worse, considering they sold out their house shows, but gaev away 5000 tickets for their main PPV.

k. still, giving free tickets once, twice or how many times you want does NOT mean they ALWAYS do that.
the other thread says TNA gave free tickets for a US show, consider that american people have a good number of possibilities to attend that through the year, even if it's a ppv.
instead UK people get few chances in a year to see TNA live, so it's not difficult to believe that the majority, if not all of them payed to watch.
and anyways until there is an actual proof they gave away free tickets even in the UK, you cannot say that.

You're doing it wrong. When I want to speak ill of something I start positive and work my way down, in a smooth, steady GRADIENT of disapproval. You just jump right into it, and it's like, wtf? You have much to learn, cricket.

No, not grasshopper.

You have to work your way UP to grasshopper.

:shifty:

Anyway, as per the 5000 tickets thing, I somehow doubt the credibility of that claim. Maybe 2000 at the very most, but with the ever increasing attendance rates there is no way they sold less seats than any other PPV this year for what was arguably the best PPV of the year.

 

[MikeRaw]

^ Oh, so it would be better if I went:

Kurt angle is good, aj styles is good... TNA sucks for giving away 5000 tickets?

Thats stupid. this thread is about their tour, and my point was about them giving away tickers, so I dont have to talk about other stuff, thats just sugarcoating it, so you dont seem like such an asshole.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Actually, my entire post was cynicism, implying that the false claim that I go to threads just to bash things is in fact true. It's a satirical style that I love almost as much as Roxxi.
