Fightful Select reports that NXT TakeOver seats quickly reached capacity. It wasn’t noted how many were up for grabs in total, but each pod has ten chairs. “Each spectator pod has about ten chairs, over a dozen water bottles, paper towels and hand sanitizer.”
It was also noted that “it appears there will be additional opportunities to attend in coming weeks.” As it was previously reported, the plan is to bring in more fans and have the building at capacity by 2021.
Fans didn’t have chairs for the show. It was reported that they were taken away shortly before NXT TakeOver: 31 started. It is also important to note that every fan wore a face mask.
