When it comes to WrestleMania ticket sales, everything is just fine, says the WWE.
A report from The Sport Business Journal outlines why this WrestleMania is far different from last year’s even though the location remains the same.
“Factors at play include WWE keeping WrestleMania in Las Vegas for the second straight year. However, the “main issue has been the price.” WWE ticket prices have “risen exponentially” since the company merged with UFC in September 2023 to form TKO Group Holdings. The cost “finally reached a breaking point with WrestleMania 42,” with ticket packages “noticeably higher than previous years,” SBJ writes.
They also claim: “A source close to WWE said ticket sales have surged in recent weeks and projected that the event remains headed toward one of the top gates in WWE history.”
Ticket sales are surging but that is driven more by the usual late buyers and recent seat releases.
From April 10th to 14th, WWE sold 2,105 tickets for the WrestleMania Saturday increasing the tickets distributed to 42,715.
The ticket distributed for WrestleMania Sunday now total 43,394 having declined since spiking in March:
- March 12th to April 1st: +1,533
- April 1st to April 7th: +1,314
- April 7th to April 10th: +1,452
- April 10th to April 14th: +625
Here are the overall stats compared to last year though:
- 2025 WrestleMania Saturday: 60,151
- 2026 WrestleMania Saturday (current): 42,715
- 2025 WrestleMania Sunday: 61,389
- 2026 WrestleMania Sunday (current): 43,394
As far as the claim of this year’s WrestleMania on its way to becoming “one of the top gates in WWE history”, that may come to pass but fan can probably attribute that to high ticket prices not base attendance numbers.
