Dave Meltzer Assesses Buy Rate, Gate For AEW All In 2025

It was well established heading in to All In Texas that the show would have the highest attendance for an AEW event in North America, beating the original record set by the first Grand Slam edition of “AEW Dynamite” in September 2021, but the question of by how much would All In Texas break that record was still up in the air. AEW President Tony Khan claimed that the attendance ended up topping 29,000, while Meltzer believes that it was around 28,500 an hour before bell time with the hope of hitting 29,000. However, WrestleTix had the attendance at 26,153.

For the gate, All In Texas did eventually become the largest non-WWE gate in North American history, topping $3 million, and is the third highest gate in AEW history behind the previous two All In events at Wembley Stadium. When taking previous events from years gone by, only the 1911 George Hackenschmidt match with Frank Gotch comes close to the $3 million mark after being adjusted for inflation, but Meltzer is unsure if All In Texas did beat the 1911 event due to various different calculations.

Meltzer also detailed the history of events in the state of Texas, with All In’s gate also being the third highest in the history of the state, only being beaten by WWE WrestleMania 32 in 2016, WrestleMania 38 in 2022. For attendance, WrestleMania 32 and 38 naturally beat All In Texas, but the show was also beaten by the 1984 WCCW Parade of Champions event, which was headlined by Kerry Von Erich beating Ric Flair for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, which had an attendance of 32,123. If WrestleTix’s figure is the official number, All In Texas will officially place fifth for most attended wrestling shows in the state of Texas, with the 1985 Parade of Champions event also topping 26,153.
