Big Update On WWE WrestleMania 42 Ticket Sales, Discounts Being Offered
An update has been provided on how far behind WWE is on WrestleMania 42 ticket sales compared to last year.
For the second year in a row, WWE is running WrestleMania 42 in the same venue as WrestleMania 41 – Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
As the build to WrestleMania 42 continues, many fans and people within the pro wrestling world have been complaining that WWE is charging more for tickets than in past years.
Since WrestleMania 42 is three weeks away on April 18 & 19, there is more information about how ticket sales are going compared to last year. A big story so far has been WWE’s willingness to offer discounted tickets like a 16% off sale on March 16th and 25% off sale on March 25th.
In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer gave an update on ticket sales during WrestleMania weekend.
“WWE did another sale, this time 25 percent off sale for both nights of WrestleMania this past week in another attempt to boost sales and make sure the place is full, which it will be by the end. It was not only WrestleMania, but the Hall of Fame, Raw and Smackdown all getting a 25 percent off sale, coming a week after a 31.6 percent sale for all of those shows.
The 25 percent off also included the other events WWE is putting on that week, which are Smackdown at 5,810 tickets out which has to be a major disappointment and Raw at 7,305 at T-Mobile Arena, while the Hall of Fame, in a smaller setting, is at 2,183.”
WWE WrestleMania Tickets Are Behind Last Year’s Pace
Regarding WrestleMania ticket sales, Meltzer noted that WrestleMania 42 is about 13% behind last year’s pace.
“Right now after the latest sale, WrestleMania in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium has 39,866 for 4/18 and 41,330 for 4/19. They are 13.3 percent behind last year, which is closer than the 18 percent behind they were doing before the two major sales. In the end, they’ll have 50,000 or more in and will announce a number that is about the same if not slightly bigger than last year.
As for ticket demand, it appears to be lower than last year.
“The secondary market get in prices of 5 for the first night and 1 for the second night 23.8 percent down from the same period last year, so that’s probably a better measure of the ticket demand.”
