Definitely an issue for AEW.

I know when they came here even for Forbidden Door weekend, the merch selection sucked. Limited options and limited spots in the venue to even buy stuff.

The issue in the attendance had more to do with location. You're holding a show in what is basically the biggest hockey arena in North America to not have an NHL team there (relocate the Coyotes already!) If your plan isn't some PPV, why hold it in a 19,000+ seat venue?

I'd imagine ticket pricing also reflected renting a 19,000 seat venue so you had to raise prices to make the rental money back too.
