AEW's brief move to Friday night brought about a drastic change in their television ratings, leading people to speculate if their popularity was waning and if they could sell out arenas.

Those doubts were demolished when All Out tickets were sold out moments after they were made public. Both AEW and Chris Jericho confirmed it on Twitter and Busted Open Radio respectively. The event, taking place at the NOW Arena in Chicago, Illinois, is expected to house 9500-11000 fans.

Ticket sales began on Thursday morning and sold out immediately, including a trio package comprising of AEW Dynamite and AEW Rampage episodes taking place in Chicago the same week.

The trio ticket will give fans access to 3 shows in the All Out week, starting September 1 with AEW Dynamite, moving on to AEW Rampage on September 3 and then the pay-per-view AEW All Out on September 5. All three shows will take place at the NOW Arena, previously known as the Sears Center Arena, in front of what is usually a raucous Chicago crowd.
