On Sunday, October 12, 2025, TNA Wrestling set a new company attendance record at its Bound For Glory event. The show, which took place at the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell, was attended by 7,794 people. The number was announced to the audience during the live broadcast by TNA wrestler Chris Bey. This turnout is the largest for a TNA event in the company’s 23-year history.
The new attendance figure broke the previous record set just a few months earlier. In July, TNA’s Slammiversary event drew 7,623 people to the UBS Arena in New York. The Bound For Glory attendance was also a new record for any sporting event held at the Tsongas Center.
Following the event, some people online suggested that the record was only achieved because the company gave away thousands of free tickets. These claims prompted a response from TNA wrestler Moose, who went on the social media site X to address the speculation.
Moose said, “For the people saying half of our record setting attendance record was free tickets given are brain dead.” He compared the current situation to the company’s past struggles, writing, “in 2016/17 myself The Hardy’s Eddie Cody Rhodes Drew McIntyre Lashley wrestled at Universal in front of only 150 people were every single ticket were free because universal didn’t allow ticket sales.”
He acknowledged that giving away some tickets is normal, stating, “I could understand 200/300 comped tickets for sponsors and media purposes and friends and family but 3k No.” He added that giving away thousands of tickets is not a practical business strategy. “No business will take an outstanding loss just to fill up an arena… if it was that easy every company would do it and we would have done it a decade ago when we struggling to get 500 people to attend a show. Just enjoy the growth and the win.”
Let’s enjoy the win. And work on breaking the record in 2026. #THISISTNA pic.twitter.com/6jwfyuACyx
