-- AEW is venturing into Australia in the new year with their scheduled Grand Slam PPV scheduled for February 15, 2025 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia (capacity of approximately 50,000), however, a report from fightfulselect.com has emerged indicating that a shift to a different venue could be in the cards and that an announcement will be made sooner rather than later.
-- While not providing any context or reasons for a potential move, reports suggest that it could be coming down to ticket sales or a lack thereof. AEW President Tony Khan was asked about the event in a recent conference call and did not share any numbers, only vaguely mentioning that "thousands" of tickets had been sold. The WrestleTix X account has also noted that multiple changes have been made to the show's seating map over the last week, writing:
"Over the past week, the current seating map changed significantly, with many seats removed and numerous sections becoming untrackable. While it was unclear if the map was in transition, there have been no further changes since then, and it now shows limited ticket availability."
-- Meanwhile Dave Meltzer stated on an earlier episode of Wrestling Observer Radio a couple months ago that ticket sales were "not good" at all, citing that a stadium show in Australia would be tough to sell unlike AEW's previous successes in the UK where they are able to draw in fans from all over Europe.
