AEW Dynamite ticket sales tonight struggling ahead of ‘sold out’ Double or Nothing

Posted on by Jake Skudder

AEW Dynamite takes place tonight from Cross Insurance Arena in Portland, Maine, and tickets for the go-home show for Double or Nothing are struggling to shift. According to the latest report from WrestleTix, 2,577 tickets have been distributed for the show, down from the year to date average of 3,264.

For context, the last time that a promotion appeared in the building was 12/3/2023, when WWE ran a Live Holiday Tour card that distributed 3,648 tickets.

It’s an interesting counterpoint to the massive success of this weekend’s Double or Nothing 2026 card, which as of writing is considered a ‘sell out,’ with barely any tickets remaining and the potential for even more sections to be opened late this week.

What’s happening on AEW Dynamite tonight?

Here are all of the matches and segments that have been confirmed for tonight’s 3 hour block of Dynamite and Collision from Portland, Maine:

  • AEW World Championship Match: Darby Allin vs. Mike Bailey
  • AEW Tag Team Championship Match: FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) vs. Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong

AEW Dynamite this week breaks record for 2026 and is biggest number since 2024

Posted on by Jake Skudder

This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite saw the company break their ticket sales record for 2026. With WrestleTix reporting that 5,283 tickets were distributed just hours before the show, this easily beats the previous record held by their show in Winnipeg earlier this year (4,554).

WrestleTix confirmed: “This is the highest Dynamite total of 2026, surpassing Winnipeg (4,554) and Orlando (4,153), and their best U.S. number (for a Dynamite) since Grand Slam: Dynamite at Arthur Ashe Stadium in September 2024.”

AEW Dynamite in Virginia

Considering how well the show has sold, there will likely now be calls for Virginia to get its own PPV event at some point in the future. There are currently no publicly confirmed plans for this, but sales doing this well for a Dynamite are a very good indication of how the market can actually sell.

FAQ and Context

What was the previous Dynamite ticket record for 2026?

The previous high was 4,554 in Winnipeg earlier this year, with Orlando sitting third at 4,153. Fairfax cleared Winnipeg’s mark by over 700 tickets.

When was the last time Dynamite drew this well in the US?

According to WrestleTix, this is AEW’s strongest US Dynamite gate since Grand Slam: Dynamite at Arthur Ashe Stadium in September 2024, the kind of comparison that puts the Fairfax number into perspective, given Grand Slam was a stadium-scale special.

Will AEW run a pay-per-view in Virginia?

There are no publicly confirmed plans for an AEW PPV in Virginia. That said, a 5,283 Dynamite gate is exactly the kind of data point that gets a market on Tony Khan’s radar for a bigger show down the line.

When is AEW’s next pay-per-view?

Double or Nothing 2026 is up next on Sunday, May 24th at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York. Tonight’s Dynamite served as part of the build, with Forbidden Door following at the SAP Center in San Jose on June 28th.
