WWE Smackdown in MSG Presale Thread
Added 2021-07-08 14:22:00 +0000 UTCStay tuned to this post for updated counts throughout the day.
78 people were ahead of me in the queue.
First counts:
10:05AM: Available => 3,822
10:18AM: Available => 2,140
10:25AM: Available => 2,322 (some people likely released tickets they had in their cart)
10:44AM: Available => 2,176
12:56PM: Available => 1,832
1:33PM: Available => 1,717
2:47PM: Available => 1,614
3:42PM: Available => 1,829 (noticed it wasn't counting Official Platinum seats so I had to alter the code a bit to account for those, only happens during presales).
4:25PM: Available => 1,752
6:00PM: Available => 1,905 (They opened up section 211 more (likely fully open now) - this is what I meant by the upper deck only being partially open in most spots)
9:16PM: Available => 1,738
Did some DEEP number crunching to pull the following numbers based off 100% closed sections:
Available Tickets => 1,738
Unopened Sections (as of now) => 10,211
Every seat on the map => 17,785
Estimated capacity/setup => 7,574
Important to note: Not all sections were fully opened, especially in the upper deck so you can't derive a Tickets Distributed figure by subtracting the Available tickets number from the Estimated capacity just yet. We can confidently say they've sold over 2K seats today so far.

Section 109 on the left looks like it's partially open, cuts off:

Comments
I think what a lot of people don’t realise is that they struggled to sell out MSG in 2019, and it actually did their lowest numbers there for a long time. They got this date when Maroon 5 moved their show, and according to Meltzer, it was 100% intentional to get the jump in NYC both with on-sale dates and the actual date. I think with hindsight we can see they might have shot themselves in the foot, although you never know with a general sale, it could do well. But I think AEW in NYC may out draw them.
