All Elite Wrestling announced last week that the Aug. 20 episode of AEW Rampage (dubbed “The First Dance”) would emanate from Chicago’s largest indoor venue, the United Center. While AEW’s roots in the Windy City stretch back to the 2018 All In event, the company had yet to touch the home of the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks. But the announcement for the show came just one week after reports of CM Punk joining the company started popping up, something AEW openly started teasing with subtle hints sprinkled throughout last week’s AEW Dynamite. More than 12,000 tickets were sold during the show’s presale last week, and when the remaining tickets became available to the general public on Monday they were gone within five minutes.

In 5 minutes they are all gone (some could re-emerge if someone doesn’t complete transaction).
