With just over a week until WWE's biggest annual event, WrestleMania 42, ticket sales have been sluggish for the two-night premium live event at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. According to the latest data from WrestleTix, WWE has sold a total of 41,317 tickets for Night Two and 39,345 tickets for Night One, leaving thousands of seats still available for both nights.

Why it matters

Strong ticket sales are crucial for the financial success of WrestleMania, WWE's marquee event that generates significant revenue from live gate and merchandise. The lower-than-expected demand raises questions about the company's pricing strategy and ability to draw fans amid competition from other major events in Las Vegas.

The details

As of the latest update, WWE has sold 761 tickets in the last 24 hours for Night Two, leaving 2,580 tickets still available. For Night One, 646 tickets were sold in the last day, with 4,552 tickets remaining. Additionally, there are 1,434 combo tickets available for both nights. The current setup for Allegiant Stadium has 45,331 seats available per night.
