AEW’s highly anticipated Grand Slam event in Brisbane, Australia, set for Saturday, February 15, 2025, may be undergoing a significant venue change. According to Fightful Select, a switch from the originally announced Suncorp Stadium is “likely,” with an official announcement expected soon.
Ticket Sales and Venue Challenges
While the event remains publicly advertised at Brisbane’s iconic Suncorp Stadium, there have been notable issues with ticket sales.
- Initial VIP sales showed promise, but subsequent seating map adjustments suggest a reduction in available tickets.
- As of now, several sections have been removed or marked as untrackable by WrestleTix.
- AEW President Tony Khan acknowledged during a pre-Full Gear press call that “thousands” of tickets had been sold, but this comes after reports from The Wrestling Observer in September stating sales were “not good.”
About Suncorp Stadium
Suncorp Stadium, home to several rugby teams, boasts a seating capacity of 52,500 for sports events, with a record attendance of nearly 60,000 during an Ed Sheeran concert in February 2023. However, filling such a large venue has proven challenging for AEW.
What’s Next for AEW Grand Slam?
With less than three months until the event, the potential venue change underscores AEW’s efforts to adapt to the Australian market. A smaller venue could create a more dynamic atmosphere and align better with current ticket demand.
