The paid attendance has not yet bern announced but it appears to be a legit advance sellout, which would mean 450-500. No same-day tickets.

Match 5: HAYATA & Rising Hayato (All-Japan) beat Shuji Kondo & Junta Miyawaki. Hayato pinned Miyawaki after Sid Vicious. (HAYATA & Hayato. The team we never knew we needed)
Match 6: Ninja Mack beat GHC Hardcore Champion Masato Tanaka and Super Crazy in a 3-way by pinning Tanaka to win the title. Mack becomes the 11th GHC Hardcore Champion. (NOAH apparently is not recognizing the title’s prior history, billing Mack as the second champion)
Main Event: Kenoh & Satoshi Kojima beat Manabu Soya & Go Shiozaki. Kojima pinned Shiozaki after a lariat.
At some point The Great Muta also showed up and did weird Muta things…
