Ticket prices were also different in Hogans day and Hogan basically wrestled on close circuit. Hogan is also more popular than Austin and it's not close.

During their peaks as #1 babyface, Austin sold more merch and tickets. Hogan is probably more popular because he had twice as long of a career and went out of his way to do reality shows, movies, be in a high profile divorce, sex tape, etc.
Also, Hogan can't be too popular because he hasn't done shit for TNA in terms of ratings. I imagine Stone Cold Steve Austin could move the needle.
