Good news. Last I checked the seating guide there were still "just a few left!" as far as major seats went. I hope they get a legit sellout, only thing is I wish the arena as a whole was bigger. I was at Slammiversary this year and it was awesome. The GCU is similarly sized so it'll look great but I truly believe TNA should start trying to larger venues. Slammy was their largest U.S. attendance to date.
This is actually amazing considering that WWE announced Royal Rumble ticket presale to the Phoenix audience at Money In The Bank weeks before BFG actually went on sale. Sneaky move by WWE to get Phoenix wrestling fans' hard earned money before TNA gets it.
What do you think will be the percentage of attendees from outside of Phoenix area?
I feel like we see this everytime and yet we also see empty sections every time. I'll be happy if this is true, but i'm waiting to see the actual show.
Running these mid-sized university arenas is a great idea. They probably don't cost as much as the bigger arenas but they sell as many tickets if not more with pretty much the same pricing. Also they're pretty well equipped and look good on TV with the LED ribbon around the arena. TNA rarely runs shows in arenas with those LED ribbons. Slammiversary lookes great and hopefully so does BFG. Also TNA are legitimately running from Phoenix and not a smaller town near Phoenix. Hopefully they sell at least 5,000, which I believe no other Bound For Glory was able to achieve.
I dont know if the prices are the same. Their ontheroad-PPVs apepar to be $35-$60 for the floorseats, and the rest of the arena are $10 seats (which is usually 60-70% of the arena). I'm not entirely sure, but i think they used to have prices inbetween the $10 and $35 range. But either way, $10 is a perfect price for a company that has to grow a fanbase, especially compared to WWE's overpriced tickets (at least $25 minium for a crappy seat at a B-ppv).
The type of setup that Dixie has said they are looking to do with Bound For Glory would need a sold out building to make it look good. So Let's hope the tickets are selling good!
I'd like to add that I think TNA chose Phoenix for a reason.
I think that TNA probably knows they get a lot of views from there (Ratings), and whenever I check Twitter Trends for Phoenix on Thursday consistently most of the top trends when Impact is on are about what's happening on the show.
Only a few left on each section of seats except of the Wheelchair Excessible ones which if correct is awesome news for Tna I actually think we could have BFG being Sold out
once again how do you know? not trying to be a jerk because i hope your right but i dont want to start hearing a week before bfg that they have to paper that half of the arena.. so how do you know the whole arena is on sale?

Considering that tickets have only been on sale for about 2 weeks I would say its much more likely that it IS the hard-camera side that has 'nearly sold out' and NOT the entire arena.
I've heard all this before with TNA events, and Slammiversary has been pretty much the only time its been proven to be true.
So all the lower levels in the Arena sold out...Impressive!!
