According to a report from WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, WWE held a multi-department meeting to discuss the current ticket sales for WrestleMania 42, which are tracking around 10,000 tickets per night behind last year's event. The company has tasked all departments with developing promotions and strategies to boost ticket sales and increase momentum heading into the marquee event.

Why it matters

WrestleMania is WWE's biggest annual event, generating significant revenue from ticket sales, merchandise, and media rights. Lower than expected ticket demand raises concerns about the overall health of the promotion and its ability to maintain high prices for premium seating and VIP packages.

The details

Last year, WrestleMania 42 secured a range of 56,000-60,000 tickets per night, bringing the total to 118,641. This year, the current ticket distribution range is around 36,000 per night, down roughly 10,000 from 2025. Ticket prices for WrestleMania 42 range from $266.80 for nosebleed seats to $8,998.00 for floor seats in Section A1, with elite VIP packages costing up to $46,219 per person.
