As PWMania.com previously reported, there was a pre-sale for the “Grand Slam” edition of AEW Dynamite on September 22nd in Queens, New York. Ticket sales for Dynamite during the pre-sale ended up surpassing first-day ticket sales for WWE Smackdown at Madison Square Garden on September 10th.
Tickets for the Dynamite in Queens officially went on sale today to the general public. According to Twitter account @WrestleTix, tickets moved quickly and a total of over 14,000 tickets have been distributed as of late Friday morning.
The event is expected to set a new attendance record for AEW. The first episode of Dynamite in Washington, DC reportedly drew 14,129 people with around 11,500 paid.

To be clear, when I got in (I was 683 in the queue), 3,840 tickets were available in total (first screenshot from the above tweet) and those are just about gone. That means over 4K have sold so far in the first 30 minutes. Add that to my estimate from 2 days ago and >12K
