A new report from Wrestlenomics has revealed the updated attendance and live gate figures from TNA Bound For Glory, which took place October 12 at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Documents released by the University of Massachusetts Lowell, which owns the venue, show a total of 5,554 tickets sold and a turnstile count at 6,137, which vary a good deal from the announced attendance of 7,794 stated during the event itself.
TNA spokesperson Ross Forman responded to questions regarding the conflicting numbers by stating the announced crowd was “verified by the venue management team at the Tsongas Center,” confirming the announcement of the figure surpassing the previous North American record set by Slammiversary in July.
Keith Vaske, District General Manager for the venue’s operator Oak View Group, further stated the attendance to be a record for a ticketed sporting event at the Tsongas Center, noting that the total attendance accounts for additional seats and standing room only “occupied by TNA credential guests, media, staff, VIPs, and other groups.”
One detail that falls under less dispute is that TNA Bound For Glory generated a $390,348 gate, making it one of the more lucrative events in TNA’s history.
