Battleground in Philadelphia, PA needed to have an attendance of 15,000 to be sold-out, but was a few thousand short. Despite this, 12,500 was still considered quite strong for a Smackdown brand PPV. The last couple of weeks leading up to the PPV, WWE had begun discounting ticket prices significantly in order to try and sell out or at least get close.
