Answer 1

Sometimes you got to learn lessons in life the hard way >_<

Answer 2

TNA did not s***w you.  $52.00 bucks for a floor seat is a deal for any wrestling event.  Televised shows are sometimes better than house shows as they are instrumental for ratings and revenue.  That is the same regardless if it is WWE or TNA.  

I have been to a WWE taping and it was 4 hours of torture as they were taping 3 WWE shows that night.  Remember- longer shows do not mean better shows.

Good luck at the WWE show!

Answer 3

First of all, were the TNA and WWE house shows in the same venue? Was the venue for the TNA show, for example, smaller than the one for the WWE show?

I'm no economist but I'm pretty sure it's the law of supply and demand. Keep in mind that the WWE has a bigger following than TNA and can probably afford a bigger venue which will be filled up. If the WWE were indeed going to perform in a bigger venue than TNA that would mean more seats and more tickets and an equal amount of people willing to buy, so they can afford to sell their tickets for 40 bucks a pop.

OK, so let's assume TNA wants to raise the same amount of money as the WWE for that particular house show. Keep in mind that TNA is a lot less well-off than the WWE so if the WWE can afford an arena with a seating capacity of 70,000 for WM XXV, TNA can only afford an arena with a seating capacity of around 16-20,000 for Bound for Glory IV (Take note: their counterpart to Wrestlemania). So imagine what they can afford for a house show, right? With me so far?

Let's also assume that TNA had indeed performed at a smaller arena for the house show than that of the WWE's. So small arena, less seats, and a lot of people wanting tickets. Law of supply and demand dictates that if the demand is high but the supply (in this case the seats) is low, the price goes up.

So assuming all of this is true you really can't blame TNA for selling their tickets at higher prices than WWE. They want to make a profit and again, they're poorer. Besides, TNA is a good company with good wrestlers and I highly doubt that they disappoint, even in house shows. They have ties with the independent circuit so they know exactly what to put on in house shows.

Hope I helped, and have fun at the WWE show! :)
