Pro Wrestling Observer‘s Dave Meltzer was answering several questions on Twitter and a few of them dealt with the hypothetical of if All In would have sold out if it was hosted in New York’s Madison Square Garden?

@davemeltzerWON could a card with omega vs punk sell out msg?

Depends on the promotion but All In had it been in MSG would have sold out immediately, so the answer is yes it could under the right circumstances. https://t.co/9WDBDMvXgu

WWE sells the place out at maybe 14,500, just over 18,000 if there's no stage or entrance way. But yeah, All In would have sold out MSG instantly. https://t.co/XGvOvuP8zN

You’re probably right but there’s a lot more factors here than # of seats. W the prices they wanted to offer fans, at MSG they would’ve been operating at a loss, no? Prices would’ve had to had been MUCH higher to recoup MSG rental. WWE even shys away from a lot of events there. https://t.co/wHayNwvbUW

Yes, they'd have to raise prices significantly. At the same time, the lure of doing a show in MSG would sell far more tickets than any other building. Even with higher prices, MSG would be far easier to draw than Sears Center. https://t.co/6EMKHMh2Z2
