WWE held a discount sale on March 16 for a number of shows including WrestleMania 42, with all tickets discounted by 31.6%. The sale appears to have worked, with a large number of house shows shifting over 1,000 tickets each and WrestleMania 42 ticket sales now around 11.2% behind the pace of last year, an improvement from the previous 18% deficit.

Why it matters

Ticket prices for WWE events, especially WrestleMania, have become increasingly expensive in recent years, pricing out many fans. This discount sale was an attempt by WWE to boost ticket sales and make the events more accessible to a wider audience.

The details

The March 16 sale discounted all tickets through June 9, including non-televised house shows. For WrestleMania 42, around 2,000 tickets were sold for each individual night, putting night one at 39,425 tickets sold and night two at 40,687. This is still behind the pace of WrestleMania 41, but the deficit has been reduced from 18% to 11.2%. The secondary market for tickets has also seen a 33.8% decrease compared to this time last year.

  • The discount sale took place on March 16, 2026.
  • WrestleMania 42 is scheduled for April 5-6, 2026.

“If there's one criticism that has been lobbied at WWE in recent years that all fans can agree on, it's that ticket prices have reached an obscenely high level.”

What’s next

WWE will continue to monitor ticket sales and may consider additional discounts or promotions to boost attendance for WrestleMania 42 and other upcoming events.

The takeaway

WWE's decision to offer a significant discount on tickets, including for its flagship WrestleMania event, demonstrates the company's recognition of the need to make its events more affordable and accessible for fans. This move could help attract a wider audience and build goodwill with the wrestling community.
