NJPW has announced the attendance cap for Wrestle Kingdom 15, set to take place on January 4th, 2021. The Japanese Government has put a cap to 5,000 people for the show due to COVID-19. As reported by WON, the recent outbreak in the country played a factor in this decision. Both shows are set to take place on January 4th and 5th with the same attendance cap.
NJPW has put a halt to ticket sales, as the sales have currently reached over 5,000 for both nights. The Observer states that NJPW will not do anything to defy the Japanese government and will respectfully follow their guidelines. The company had previously hoped to have a 40% capacity of around 16,000-20,000 fans before the sudden COVID surge in Japan. As of December 23rd, the country was hit with an all-time high of 888 cases.
JPN event attendances provisionally capped at 5000 due to new Covid restrictions. Wrestle Kingdom ticket sales are over 5000 for both nights, so it basically means the ticket sales now stop and attendance is capped at the number of tickets currently sold.https://t.co/YewMsxybm5
