TNA Bound For Glory Attendance Figures Disputed

TNA Wrestling announced a record-breaking attendance of 7,794 fans at its flagship Bound For Glory event on October 12 at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts, but new documents have revealed a lower number of tickets sold, prompting questions about the final tally.

The event, held at the 7,484-seat arena owned by the University of Massachusetts Lowell and operated by Oak View Group, drew praise from venue officials despite the discrepancy. According to records obtained from the university, 5,554 tickets were sold, generating a gate of $390,348. The turnstile count, reflecting tickets scanned and used, reached 6,137. These figures do not include complimentary tickets, which were not detailed in the breakdown.

TNA Vice President of Communications and Public Relations Ross Forman addressed the difference, stating that the announced attendance was verified by the Tsongas Center's management team. He explained that the total incorporated more than just paid admissions. "Beyond our ticketed attendees, we also had many seats and standing room only occupied by TNA credentialed guests, media, staff, VIPs, and other groups that brought the total attendance to 7,794," Forman said....
