Here are some recent TNA attendance figures courtesy of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
10/3 in Lowell, MA drew 700 fans. This is the same 6,000 seat arena the company held the Lockdown PPV in earlier this year in April that drew 5,400 paid fans which was the company’s biggest attendance in company history.
10/4 in Glens Falls, NY drew 800 fans.
10/5 in Plattsburgh, NY drew 900 fans.
It should be noted that there has been some concern expressed internally within TNA over house show business. While TNA’s shows have been considered largely successful economically – as in two nights not being profitable, but adding a third the tours would become profitable – business the last month has been noticeably down. In some markets, they draw only slightly better than Ring of Honor and considering that they have bigger star power and two hours of prime time weekly TV on Spike, drawing crowds in the same range as ROH is not considered good at all. Whether or not they will change up the format of live events remains to be seen to get things rolling again.
