• Actual Attendance For WWE Stomping Grounds PPV Revealed
As we noted before, WWE wasn’t able to sell out the Tacoma Dome for WWE Stomping Grounds last night and they curtained off the the entire hard-cam side section to hide empty seats.
Below are some photos:
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer noted that about 6,000 fans were in attendance for the PPV, with about 4,000-4,500 paid fans:
“They were giving away a lot of tickets — a lot of two for one — the paid was not good. I heard 6,000 in the building, but maybe 4,000 to 4,500 paid.
I can’t remember a WWE pay-per-view in a long time where they did that little paid. I can’t remember a WWE pay-per-view where they were giving away tickets at the mall either.”
