WWE Raw [Long Island, NY] update (big gain in T/D and updated capacity as well!)

WWE Monday Night RAW

Mon • Nov 29 • 7:30 PM

UBS Arena, Belmont Park - Long Island, NY

OK guys, this one needs some explaining. Before I do that...

Available Tickets => 3,367

Estimated Setup/Capacity => 7,280

Tickets Distributed => 3,913 (54%)

That's a big gain for tickets distributed and here's what happened. In the 2nd screenshot below you'll see from my log output on 10/27 535 tickets came off the board in a span of 10 minutes. I also want to make note that several upper decks added the first row (just like AEW did for Long Island) and those were added to the capacity. Screenshot below on left is from the weekend. Then the screenshot on the right is from after 535 tickets dropped. I've numbered the sections that changed on the right so you can see the difference. The print out of my log is below this and you can see the number of tickets that dropped off in yellow with the section name to the left of them. Now, FLR2 & FLR4 & 103 & 105 I can buy as comps because those will be very visible - you don't just remove those for no reason. Even 106. But 108, 109, and 110 are the ones I question. Section 108 dropped 169 tickets and you can see the rows the disappeared - almost looks like every other row. I have 2 choices - count them as comps, which will add to the tickets distributed total (leaning toward this since that appears to be what's happening here) or deduct the 535 from the capacity (but the downside of this is I'd have to keep an ultra close eye on this show to see if they come back). For now they will count toward Tickets Distributed (I do not differentiate between paid and comped anyways). I can always tell if they come back since I'm logging this show daily. This is some of the challenge that is ticket tracking for a show that will be looked at very closely because there's direct competition to it.
