According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, tonight’s AEW All Out 2026 pay-per-view (PPV) has sold out the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, with a total of 9,216 tickets distributed for the event. Meltzer also mentioned that additional seats could be added through production changes, which could increase the final attendance close to 10,000. The current secondary market price for getting into AEW All Out is approximately $60.
In contrast, the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event has sold 12,629 tickets for its show at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. This WWE event has not sold out yet, as Allstate Arena has a larger seating capacity than NOW Arena, allowing WWE to continue selling tickets. The secondary market price for getting into Worlds Collide is around $73.
CM Punk is scheduled to appear at the event, which is primarily built around WWE’s collaboration with AAA. Meltzer noted that while the event is not sold out, it is still significant, as Punk was able to sell “that many tickets to a show with few angles,” serving as the main attraction based on AAA.
Both AEW All Out and WWE x AAA Worlds Collide will take place on the same day in neighboring Chicago-area venues. Meltzer concluded by stating that if both shows exceed the 10,000-ticket mark, it will be “one of the rare times in history that two rival groups topped that mark on the same day.”
