TNA Lockdown 2013 News

Impact zone fits roughly a thousand. so they're aiming for a size of 4 times what they normally draw. Which they won't fill. in an arena that can fill 70times that. Why would you go to an arena with such a huge capacity with the goal of not even filling a quarter of that?

Because their trying to make the best out of it, if they give the impression that they can fill 70'000 seats and its going look worse when they fail, then if they go for less of the crowd. With the right marketing, tickets prices etc TNA might think it is realistic to at least draw 20'000 I don't think it is, but that maybe their aim which would still make it a profitable event. Also its an image thing to promote a show in such a big and famous value gives TNA that extra bit of shine.

Ok you can't fill 70k seats then why not go to an arena with 35k why go to the 70k is what I'm saying.

If that 4k report is true then this is another baffling business decision by TNA. Why not book a 10k seat arena instead rather than a 70k arena? Surely it would be cheaper and it would look better on television.

It's going to cost them more to rent out the damn thing than they are going to make money. They'll probably break even.

Hey I agree with you guys, but was speclating on what their thinking might be

 

[Troy]

That is the seating chart for the show. Looks terrible and it just shows how ridiculous it is to be running such a huge arena to only use the back corner of it.
