There seldom is an enormous wrestling stadium show with a fan fest of some kind that takes place beforehand. And it’s going to be no different when AEW arrives in London for All In at Wembley Stadium next month. In a Wednesday press release, the promotion announced the “Welcome to Wembley” fan experience, which is able to happen Friday, August 28, and Saturday, August 29, at Wembley’s Great Hall, just days before All In.
While AEW was cagey with a few of “Welcome to Wembley’s” details, they did reveal that the fan fest will probably be limited capability, thus giving those that do attend a more “close and private” experience of the promotion. Among the many features will probably be the chance for fans to take photos with an AEW star and the AEW Men’s World Championship, purchase AEW merchandise before it’s made available at All In, and consider rare AEW memorabilia.
Fans will even get the prospect to “take part in partner activations” with AEW partners Upper Deck cards, Heavy’s and Shirt Farm, while a DJ will provide live music, and host various contests. Perhaps the largest feature fans will get from the fan fest is an “exclusive preview scene” from “AEW Presents The Last Match,” the upcoming musical AEW is producing.
“Welcome to Wembley” will feature five different sessions, starting with two on Friday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and a couple of:30 p.m. to five p.m., followed by three Saturday sessions from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., 12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., and three p.m. to five:30 p.m. Tickets, which AEW revealed will cost €60, will probably be made available at 10 a.m. on July 24, though fans can get tickets earlier in the event that they register to turn out to be an AEW Insider.
