Dear Brent Council -Trading Standards, Licensing, Food & EH,
Thank you for your response. However, over the last 24 hours, an attendance number of 85,528 for the event in question has been circulating on social media which has been sourced to a colleague of yours from Brent Borough Council. As the 72,265 number which you have provided is the turnstile count for All In at Wembley, do you or anyone within Brent Council hold any record of the 85,528 number as relates to the attendance at All In? If so, could you confirm what this number represents (ie. tickets distributed or number of people in the the entire building etc)?
Secondly, do you hold any records as relates to the number of tickets distributed for the AEW All In event?
Thirdly, could you please provide a copy of any and all correspondence that Brent Council may have had with either Wembley Stadium Ltd, AEW, the Met Police or any other relevant parties with regards to the expected attendance for AEW All In at Wembley on Sunday Aug 27th 2023.
The reason for these requests is that AEW All In is approaching the all time attendance record for professional wrestling and there is a lot of interest in clarifying what the true and accurate attendance number was. Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Johnathan Davies
