According to the Observer Newsletter, ticket sales for next weekend's NXT & NXT UK Worlds Collide event have been very weak or sluggish.
Same for next month's TakeOver event selling slower than usual for a TakeOver show but they still have a month to go for sales.

Similarly, the 2/16 Takeover show in Portland also has a weak advance. About 60 percent of the 100s that would normally be for sale are on sale, not including what you’d expect not for sale due to the stage. They are not opening up any other seats at this point for Worlds Collide. The secondary market get in price is $26 for lower level tickets.

Also seems the boost of being on FOX and running shows on Fridays instead of Tuesdays has benefited Smackdown a lot despite the quality of shows being very hit-or-miss since the move. Before they were averaging around half of what they currently are doing for shows.
