Amazing that they sold out in 30 minutes. Maybe they could have done 15,000. LOL.
Goes to show the power of the internet these days and that the right guys with the right promotion can make a big splash. Guess this will become and annual thing now given the success this year. Not sure if it will continue to get the same reaction, but I think its possible.
I'm hoping now that its sold out that they are going to stream the show to everyone that wants to see it. Not sure if that will be possible given some of the talent, but hope they can do it.

Based on some of the comments Cody made about ROH and the fact that Lucha Underground amended their contracts after the issues talent had for the first 3 seasons, I think the only hitches would be Okada and Omega, and I think NJPW will only see this as a vehicle for exposure to their talent and product, especially when you consider the roster announced so far.
Of course, NJPW, has a new president. And he speaks English, is not Japanese (he's from the Netherlands), and has a strong corporate background, so it's clear they're amping up their International & Western exposure. It's possible he won't be keen on this. Especially given the slow start for Cow Palace ticket sales. Though, I would argue, a lot of people were slow to grab Cow Palace tickets because of All In. So we could see some movement on Cow Palace sales, especially after Dominion now that All In is sold out. I mean, there were a lot of people planning on traveling to the show that didn't get tickets as evidenced by the hotel cancellations thus far.
I don't know. I'm certain they're exploring it. Whether it happens or not, we'll see, but now that it's sold out there's no way they're not trying to figure it out. Ideally, you could run it on Honor Club in North America and NJPWWorld the rest of the world. Or at least have it on demand after the fact.
Regardless, it's an exciting time and the fact we're even able to have the conversation is very cool.

Tournament Master, could we possibly see an All In game edition? Most of the talent on the card is already signed.

Still plenty of tix available via online resale companies like Stub Hub, with tix likely to be available up until the day of the show, FYI.

What counts for plenty? As of right now, there are only about 350 tickets on Stub Hub and maybe about 40 on eBay. That's less than 5% of the tickets in the house. There were close to 20k available on resale sites for Mania in Dallas. 3k for Summerslam. It's looking increasingly like a huge percentage of the tickets went to the fans. The fans sold this out. There are still hundreds of people out there looking for tickets, maybe thousands. Even without scalpers, the thing would've sold out.
Depending on prices, I find it highly unlikely there will be tickets available the day of the event. If folks stick to the prices listed now, okay, sure, there might be some empty seats, but at the end of the day, these resale places want to sell the tickets. Prices will probably come down some.
Of course, all this said, it's still a sell out. It's still incredible. And there's a reason why they're marked up nearly 10x the initial cost.

I have to admit that I was wrong. I didn't think they'd sell out, much less sell out in less than an hour. Yeah, I'll take the L on this one too. Hat's off to them.

Will be interesting if FG can get involved in some fashion. Might be the only way we ever get Cody.
