Tony Khan talks about keeping the ticket prices low for AEW shows
Lately, WWE has been receiving major backlash from the fans due to the ticket prices being at an all-time high. Under TKO's regime, the company has significantly raised prices, which has created concern among fans who want to enjoy big shows with their families. Meanwhile, AEW has been getting brownie points from the fans for keeping its ticket prices low.
Speaking with The Sportster, Tony Khan stated that he always wanted to keep the show family-friendly. Therefore, the idea was to keep the prices reasonable so that as many people as possible could enjoy the show.
"I think we have really always made it very family-friendly. From the very first AEW show, it's always been important to have affordable tickets for the fans, and we've always kept the entry price very affordable. That's been consistent for AEW from the very beginning that there's been affordable tickets in the arena. I have to say that it's really been over the years, for me, something that we've always made a point of emphasis. We bring it up, time after time throughout the year." said KhanThe AEW President believes that making the show affordable was the foundational element of All Elite Wrestling since the very start. Khan added that he will try to keep the shows accessible as long as he can for the fans.
