WWE Merch Sales & Attendance Figures

[TribalPhoenix]

Hey all - does anyone know where I can find a listing of attendance figures and merch sales for WWE?

Basically, I'm doing an Honours degree in Sport Management and am looking at writing a paper about their current marketing strategy, how injuries to key guys on the main roster, and how it compares to NXT is concerned. Main arguments I want to make will have to be substantiated with attendance and merch figures.

Anything out there? Ratings would be great to have too.

I've done a write up before on these boards on WWE's rating pattern. Using it, I correctly predicted WWE would fall to record lows in late 2015!

Meltzer is your best bet for merchandise and attendance figures.

Man, you've gotten really intense about this stuff lately. You could make some professional wrestling writers jealous.

I'm the new big Dave Meltzer.

MCG posts the ratings every week in the Raw threads.

I know cage side has been posting them (but I don't know for how long. At lease since they started tanking bad).

As was said Metlzer is a solid source for merch and attendance numbers (should be able to get house show stuff too I think)

You can also grab some attendance numbers here: http://www.profightdb.com/cards/wwe-cards-pg1-no-2.html?order=&type=

There are attendance numbers, and there's "attendance numbers". It's all a work, almost impossible to trust anyone.

But go sign up for Meltzer's newsletter. Dig about in the archives and you should be able to find some numbers.
