@WrestlingMark16 Preach. Fastlane 2023 front row champions package was $1,300 a seat. Backlash STL (midwestern C level PLE) same package was - $15k.

Charge less and do more house shows again. Not rocket science.

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@Thecoachrules Ticket prices are bullshit these days - I used to do front row all the time and build new fans taking my kid and all her friends. Now I can’t sniff the front row without mortgaging my house

Front row champion pass at Fastlane 2023 was 1350; in St Louis for Backlash it was 15k

@FadeAwayMedia This is true for sure I’ve been to a dozen live events in the last year, I’m 5’11’ and about 215 and I’m the same or bigger than several wrestlers billed as bigger or heavier

One exception? Drew. He’s a tank and every bit as big and jacked as he claims

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@MrSantiZap Pretty clear that Cena could be a monster heel ten years ago but his heart isn’t in it right now. He cooks but fans won’t have it. I was there tonight and the heat felt out of respect. They want to cheer his last run. So they gave Orton his glory but quickly gave Cena flowers

@WrestleOps Crowd was on fire for this but a mid card act impacting the finish is an issue

Fatu retains @WWE Backlash

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@EliteClubS0B Been like this for a while, assuming it’s TKO

Fast Lane 2023? I got a Champion front row priority pass and we had the night of our lives with all the VIP stuff. $1300

Now my rep calls me for Backlash and same package is $15k (B tier PLE in the Midwest makes it a good comp.)

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@luigireigns It’s the Priority Pass people. This kind of stuff is part of the 45k per seat Champion Plus pass.

Priority Pass packages are offered to repeat customers and big deposit holders.

He’s getting a call that goes “do you want your seats” and buying it

Cody Rhodes after #SmackDown goes off the air - old reliable - whipped the crowd into a frenzy with LA Knight and Priest!

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

Something is cooking for #smackdown or the #RoyalRumble for sure

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@WrestlingHumble I was at this one. Lots of young families left, tired fans, lost voices. That said the energy still felt pretty good in person all things considered all the way to the last segment which for us was Cody/Gunther.

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@dabearsblog Maybe but it doesn’t matter, Love had 7 good games and if he wasn’t hurt last night the narrative would be “is this guy good enough to be the highest paid QB in the league?” Maybe? It’s wild that people are taking Love over Hurts. The hype is out of control in GB.

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@WrestlingHumble He was not a color commentator. He was a famous fan who obviously didn’t prepare for these telecasts and simply didn’t add the authority and authenticity required for this role. The color guy is one of the most important roles in curating storylines and maintaining kayfabe.

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@SinaiLawFirm Slipping it into the offer - we have 3 clients just this month getting held hostage for 50% “referrals” because they want to fire an agent they didn’t know they signed with.

The last stand for the buyer agent petrified to answer “why do you deserve to get paid?”

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@ZubyMusic 80% of the population is poorly read reality resistant one inch thinking overconfident social media empowered engagement and attention farming wannabes

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@reigns_era It’ll be good based on anticipation and overbooked interference nonsense.

But it’s hard to deny Jacob Fatu has become in a month who WWE wanted Solo to be in two years.

And no one is considering Roman may help Solo win before decking him. Makes sense!

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@GrantCardone Grant helped me go from average to awesome in sales but this ain’t it. Mega rich dudes advocating for conservatives who will cut their taxes and estate taxes always feels crazy to me. Vote based on your values not your gurus.

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@IAmClintMurphy And don’t hire “advisors” who get paid to steer you into funds that just don’t outperform simple index fund dollar cost averaging. Huge hidden savings dodging loads and fees.

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@GuruFantasyWrld This whole narrative is gonna make fantasy bros overdraft these guys to insane levels.

[Fred Venturini @fredventurini]

@jemelehill Bro had a whole term with senate and house. Delivers on zero promises. No wall, Obamacare still in tact. I guess he did turn the Supreme Court into a Catholic tribunal? All the pro Trump arguments are “don’t you wish thing were like they were during COIVD?”
