In an interview with Busted Open Radio, Cody Rhodes talked about the upcoming WWE bus tour experience provided by On Location ahead of WrestleMania 42.

Why it matters

The high-priced WrestleMania bus tour packages are part of WWE's ongoing partnership with On Location to offer premium experiences for the company's most dedicated fans. While the cost may seem exorbitant, the fact that the spots have sold out speaks to the demand from fans willing to pay for exclusive access and interactions with top WWE Superstars like Cody Rhodes.

Rhodes acknowledged that the $9,950 price tag is an "absurd amount of money," but said he wants to ensure those fans feel they are getting a "unique and cool experience" and "something intimate" with the wrestlers. He noted that two fans from last year's bus tour have even appeared on his podcast, indicating the level of access and connection these packages provide.
