– There is some unhappiness among fans in the UK over ticket pricing for the next tour in January. The tour–three dates in large arenas–is built around Flair, RVD and Hardy (if he’s not in jail) so one would assume the overheads are higher than with previous tours. Ticket prices are nearly double the cost of a U.S. house show ranging from $33 up to $109 for front row. They are also planning to do fan interactions before each show although it doesn’t appear that these are including in the price of a ticket. TNA is said to be very happy with how the UK market is performing for them at the moment. (credit: The Wrestling Globe Newsletter)
