WrestleMania 41 ticket sales surged early but have since stalled, with WWE struggling to sell more than 500 additional tickets since Jey Uso’s Royal Rumble win.
WWE initially sold nearly all 25,000 combo tickets and 20,000 individual tickets per night but remains stuck at 45,000 per night, short of the 51,000 needed to expand seating capacity.
The primary issue is high ticket prices, with WWE prioritizing record revenue over selling out. Lowering prices is the only way to fill more seats, but WWE is reluctant to do so.
Here’s what Billi Bhatti reported:
“I’ve been saying, and the people I’ve been speaking to would say the answer is no. That is echoed by ticket sales at the moment because, since the Royal Rumble, I can report that WWE has sold fewer than 500 additional tickets.
These reports stating that 90% of the tickets are sold for WrestleMania are incorrect. The way ticket sales work is that you begin with Configuration Number 1, then move onto Configuration Number 2, and if it’s an absolutely sold-out, high-demand event, they move onto Configuration Number 3.
WrestleMania 41 is currently stuck at around 45,000 tickets sold for both nights, nowhere near the 51,000 mark needed to extend to 60,000. If they reach 51,500, Configuration Number 2 will be activated, increasing the capacity to 60,000. Beyond that, Configuration Number 3 would push it to 71,250 per night.
WWE has openly admitted they are overpricing tickets, constantly telling fans on every show that they’re ‘breaking records’ by charging higher prices rather than opening up more seats. They aren’t ashamed to brag about it either.
The only way I see them achieving that at the moment is by discounting these ridiculous ticket prices. But then you run into the same issue AEW had with their recent show in Australia, where they allocated too many seats, couldn’t sell them, and ended up offering two-for-one tickets—benefiting those who bought late. That’s a situation TKO and WWE don’t want to find themselves in.”
