Got our end-of-summer ROH TV taping tickets last night. (show is Saturday night).

Scalpers appear to have bought up all the (based on the resale map) middle tier seats, which is going to make for some interesting crowd shots if they don't start moving.

Right now the high dollar low seats and the lowest dollar nosebleeds (relative term, it's a small venue) are pretty much gone, with big chunks of the rest still available.

First time I've seen that happen with them in Atlanta. Based on the difference between our first show and our more recent one, I have to think there's a certain amount of Bullet Club affect in play. When the (now mostly AEW) old gang was still around fans seemed to snag the tickets in enough quantity that the tickets went. Post-BC, the depleted ROH roster doesn't sell as quickly here and leaves the opportunity for this sort of thing.

On a related wrestling-in-Atlanta note, I signed up for the NWA newsletter in order to get the earliest word on where they're planning to tape their new "TV" show. More curiosity on my part than legitimate interest I think, but I can see even "very limited" tickets being a tough sell for them unless they cobble together a lot more talent than I expect to be on hand.
