AEW previously announced that they will hold Grand Slam: Australia on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The venue’s listed capacity for football is 52,000.
However, the show is reportedly not selling well at the ticket box office. As reported by Fightful Select, a move to another venue is likely and should be announced sooner rather than later.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez noted that AEW is facing another issue: finding a new venue for it. They were looking at holding it at the Brisbane Entertainment Center, but AEW doesn’t think they can fit it into the venue’s schedule due to other concerts.
Alvarez said, “I was told that the issue now is that, because they’ve waited this long, it’s like the decent-sized venues. I guess they’ve got the Brisbane Entertainment Center has an 11,000-seat capacity, but they’ve got a Bryan Adams and a Billy Eilish concert, and the AEW show would have to be right in the middle of those two. And they don’t think there’s enough time to get it in there, so most likely, it would be in the Pat Rafter Arena or the Nissan Arena, both of which seat about 5,000. So that appears to be the most likely.
