Aero 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2003 After just looking over the PPV calendar over at WWE.com, Royal Rumble 2004 is listed as taking place on Jan. 25, 2004... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the last Sunday in January? Super Bowl Sunday to be exact? If they're booking the Rumble same night... they're screwing themselves with the PPV buyrate. It seems that every other year, they made sure not to book the Rumble on the same night. I believe the Rumble's in Philadelphia's Wachovia Center... maybe the arena's booked the week before or something, because it's just stupidity on WWE's part, otherwise.

Guest Burrito Report post Posted November 18, 2003 I may not be 100% certain, but I believe the Super Bowl is in February this year. EDIT: The 1st of February is a Sunday, so that may be it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LatinoHeat Report post Posted November 18, 2003 I may not be 100% certain, but I believe the Super Bowl is in February this year. I remember in 2001 the only reason that the Superbowl was held in Feb. was the terrorist attacks caused week 2 to be cancelled. THey made up the missed games after week 17. This caused everything to be pushed back a week essentially. Why is it in Feb this year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 This is the second time ever that the Super Bowl hasn't been January, right? And it's in February, LatinoHeat, because CBS and the NFL knew better than to schedule the Super Bowl against the Royal Rumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 I think they are going back to 2 weeks between the Conference Championship Games and the Super Bowl which is stupid. You don't need two weeks of hype for 3 hours of letdown. The game will inevitably suck... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aero 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 The Rumble is in Philly at the Wachovia Spectrum and I'm getting tickets the day they are on sale... I missed the last SD PPV in Baltimore...i'm NOT missing this... So what would everyone say the better way to get tickets is? Going to the Wachovia box office or trying Ticketmaster? I've been considering going to the box office the morning tickets go on sale, which I think is still unannounced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 So it is certain now that the RR is going to be in Philly? Last I saw that was just a possibility. I'll have to go to that. I never had a problem getting tickets through Ticketmasters website, as long as the go on sale the same time as the box office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LatinoHeat Report post Posted November 19, 2003 It's still a possibility., but a strong one. I'd go through ticketmaster.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2003 Wait, Wachovia Spectrum? So is this the original building the Flyers played in as opposed to the new one? That's odd. The new building is the Wachovia Center. The Spectrum is right next door, and is a smaller building. Tha would suck if WWE is anticipating poor ticketsales.

Guest Quik Report post Posted November 20, 2003 Well, taking the smaller arena which is located next to the newer, bigger arena is quite the indication of anticipating poor ticket sales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
