The amount that the company is charging to the fans for WrestleMania might cost them an arm and a leg. The sales aren't that good either.

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. The ringside seating is where the luxury is at entertainment spectacles like WrestleMania. To access entry into the floor-seating area, one is paying an awful lot.

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 find in 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 majority.

Owing to the prices they’re asking the attendees to pay, they’re playing their part by shying away. A recent estimate from WrestleTix on X showed that both nights of WrestleMania 41 are currently set up to house 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 dent the financial metrics. One fan noted that since WWE has ramped up the pricing in every market they tap into, the live gate of that particular event balloons to a new high.

A number of commenters appeared miffed at the narrative trying to dunk on WWE. They believe that the remaining tickets will be hoovered 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.

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 homies 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 alone 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 act as curtain raisers 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 has a triple-threat written all over it. 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.
