“Nosebleeds are $1000 a night”- Wrestling fans blast WWE for exorbitant WrestleMania 41 ticket prices; attendance figure in massive jeopardy

WWE will take over Las Vegas in a matter of days for WrestleMania 41. The card is starting to stack up, and the fans know what they’re about to be served. However, the company has seemingly booked themselves into a corner. What does that mean? The ticket prices. Going by the general consensus, they’re exorbitant.

If one skims through Ticketmaster, the lowest-priced seats, or what they call the nosebleeds, can be bought for $200. It’s at least 10x the price for a similar ticketing experience on Raw and SmackDown these days. Those willing to break the bank could access ringside seating at a spectacle like WrestleMania. For that, one is supposed to pay an awful lot of money.

The most expensive seats currently available on the map are ring-adjacent and in the third row, worth $7500 excluding the on-site fees. Almost a decade ago, those platinum seats used to be under $900, which one could confirm through a WWE press release from WrestleMania 30. Anyway, it’s 2025, and the TKO-owned wrestling juggernaut is a far cry from being pocket friendly for the masses.

Owing to the prices WWE is asking of the attendees, the people are playing their part by shying away. A recent estimate from WrestleTix showed that both nights of WrestleMania 41 are currently set up to hold 51,707 fans. For Saturday night, 45,915 tickets have been sold in comparison to 47,730 on Sunday. If it stays anywhere near that figure, the two-night wrestling rendezvous in Vegas could become the lowest-attended WrestleMania since 2006.

Fans let their frustrations known with extravagant WrestleMania prices

The netizens aren’t holding back from expressing their dissatisfaction with the sky-high WrestleMania ticket prices. Even though the aforementioned attendance figures seem low, it’s not going to tank the financial metrics for WWE. One fan noted that since the company is price-gouging on every market they tap into, the live gate of that particular event balloons to a new high.

A number of commenters were miffed at the aforementioned narrative of low sales intended to dunk on WWE. They believe that the remaining tickets will be hoovered up as the show gets closer. Users also pointed out that the Allegiant Stadium holds considerably fewer people than most of the other NFL stadiums in the country.

Nosebleeds are a $1000 a night.

When the cheapest ticket starts at $200 in this economy, you’ve lost the plot.

Smaller stadium and it’s going to be the most profitable. Not the dunk you think it is

The tickets are just way overpriced. I attended elimination chamber in Toronto earlier this month and ticket prices there were also extremely high. It is becoming unaffordable for any average person.

Hopefully this humbles some people that need it the most. Especially when they claim to be a family show and you can’t take your family. $1,400 to attend both nights upper level. Take a family of 4 to that 😂. I’ll be there this year but if it’s the same, it’ll be the last as…

We still got 3 weeks to go. Post this again the night before Wrestlemania and then try to dunk🙄

Listen, TKO knows how to make money. They understand attendance might be lower, but the revenue they generate could rival two WrestleManias combined if this were still a Vince-run show. I’m not sure of the exact ticket prices, but if the average ticket is around $1,000 and they…

However, that doesn’t take away how peeved the fans are after getting ostracized by the company’s irrational ask. A user even quipped that how come it’s supposed to be a family show if one can’t afford to take their family to it? Another fan/account dove into the fact that TKO is all about money.

It cited that even if a ticket is priced at an average of $1,000 with about 100,000 people attending over two nights, that generates $100 million in revenue. But that’s not it. WWE has a litany of meet-and-greets lined up for that weekend. One that even includes an intimate lunch opportunity with John Cena.

What has been added to WrestleMania 41?

The main events of WrestleMania 41 are set. Although they’re yet to be scheduled, John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship screams to go on last on Sunday. As a result, one could expect Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk to main event the proceedings on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Jey Uso has a shot at glory against Gunther. The latter wouldn’t let Uso have it easy for the World Heavyweight title. The women might go first on either night. Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair are going to meet in a clash of two generations. The onus is on the young gun to tackle the wizardry of The Queen. Moreover, IYO SKY has a daunting task at hand.

She defends her women’s world title against Bianca Belair in a match that’s bound to turn into a triple-threat. Rhea Ripley is the woman gunning to make the cut. Some non-title matches currently official include Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest and Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens. More will be added to the card in the days ahead.
