AEW Redemption PPV struggles with ticket sales ahead of Montreal show

entertainmentJul 26, 2026671,025

AEW's Redemption at the Bell Centre on July 26 has distributed 6,812 tickets, WrestleTix reports, leaving the promotion under the 7,000 mark hours before showtime. That figure rose from 6,357 reported days earlier but remains well below recent WWE draws at the same venue, including 11,425 for Saturday Night’s Main Event and 10,248 for a SmackDown the night before. AEW’s own past Bell Centre numbers have been lower, with a December 2023 Dynamite at 4,994 tickets and a Collision taping the night prior at 2,852. The venue’s biggest modern wrestling crowd cited was WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 at 14,651 fans, with other WWE nights above 14,000. The cheapest available ticket is listed at 53.25 Canadian dollars, and final attendance will hinge on last-minute walk-up purchases as AEW heads into one of its key summer events.

Jacques was an underrated athlete, especially in his youth.

Dying at the crowd giving Raymond Rougeau a warm reception and booing the hell out of noted Montreal TV talk show weirdo Jacques. #AEWRedemption

Kevin Owens dislikes Jacques, that's good enough for me.

Dave Twigg2

Okay yeah I knew there had to be a backstory there. Whatever, Ray was always my favored All American Boy anyway.

Jacque was such an asshole for so long that he's persona non grata in the E, they even rejected his son from developmental because they didn't want to deal with him ever again. But Raymond was an interviewer and French language commentator there after retiring. Isn't that something!

The Rougeau Brothers getting their flowers in their backyard is one of those things that makes me smile cause it's a gesture that many wrestlers/wrestling families don't get❤️ #AEWRedemption 🤼‍♂️

It's still surreal for me to see Mick Foley in AEW. A good kind of weird though.

Heatherface Wixson3

All mentions of Aew removed. Justin labar previewed summerscam and raw this morning. No aew mentions. He hyped the top 5 matches from last week. 4 wwe and 1 tna match. "But nothings gonna change" #AewRedemption

Good. We never needed Busted Open Radio to talk about AEW. I'm glad we don't have to pretend they matter anymore.

adamnyeary15.bsky.social26

“Top tier pro wrestling talk” is hilarious. That said I’m actually gonna be happy if they never speak about AEW again.

Chob11

I better not see one of those stupid LaGreca heads at an AEW show ever again.

Jesse Collings4

IDK sounds like a typical Justin LaBar show to me

Grissom シ4

Good. No more ridiculous takes and meltdowns from Buh Buh Ray Dudley.

Holt3

who do you think breaks gimmick first and decides to talk about AEW again I'm thinking Bully

Unlicensed Bartender3

Somewhat surprised there were four (4) Fed matches this week to review...

Matthew3

LaGreca and the rest of the WWE shills (Rosenberg, etc) have nothing if value to offer anyone in broadcasting. Low IQ screamers that model they behavior after the worst of sports broadcasters (Bayless, Cowherd, and their ilk). The sooner people ignore them, the better. 🤼

Spring Time Javier3

Busted Open has been bottom tier wrestling content for years. Enjoy guzzling the World Wrestling Federation Dave.

Just invited a few friends over to watch Redemption tonight. One said, “oh yeah I really liked that last show.” A stark reminder online isn’t real. People just wanna have fun. Enjoy, SICKOS! #AEW #AEWREDEMPTION
