In data released by @WrestleTix, WWE have approximately sold 10,000 tickets less for each night for WrestleMania 42 compared to the same period last year in the same venue.
WrestleMania Saturday is just over 39,200 tickets distributed so far, with last year’s count standing at around 48,600 during the same timeframe. WrestleMania Sunday is selling just slightly better, with over 41,200 tickets out now compared to 51,000 in the same period last year.
This drop would put ticket sales at approximately 20% less than the previous year, and while earlier ticket discounts narrowed the gap, the last few weeks saw that gap get even wider as sales came to a halt.
WWE are expected to lower prices for both nights over the next couple of days for a final push. The company typically sells over 1,000 tickets a day in the last week of the show, but with Las Vegas being mostly full of out-of-town fans, the drop in prices could be a little too late considering most hotels and flights are now really expensive.
While WrestleMania 41 grossed over $65 million in gate money over two nights, this year’s show will probably get close to that number even though with a combined 20,000 tickets less so far due to the high ticket prices offsetting the slow sales.
