Trump’s rally for Ted Cruz is so popular that they are having to upgrade due to ticket sales, according to Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale:
Response for tickets to #MAGA rally #Houston Mon 10/22 has been HUGE and unprecedented! This will be an epic rally, so we’re moving to @ToyotaCenter. Want to make sure everyone coming knows the venue changed!

According to the Toyota Center website, they hold 19,000 for concerts:

So Trump has gone from 8,000 to 19,000 – that’s a great sign for Ted Cruz. I’m sure Trump will be tweeting about this soon as he LOVES to tweet about this kinda stuff.
And yes, in case you’re wondering, 19,000 is well above average – nearly double of what Trump normally pulls in during these midterm election rallies, with the exception of one he held in Florida back in April that had an estimated 32,000 in attendance.
