Earlier this week, it was revealed that plans for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas were uncertain after WWE was upset with the present ticket sales for the two-night event. WrestleTix recently reported that WrestleMania 42 had distributed 36,000 tickets for every night to date, which is currently not on target to match the 56,000-60,000 tickets sold on each Saturday and Sunday for WrestleMania 41, also held in Vegas. Nevertheless, on Wednesday, WWE put a plan into motion in hopes of accelerating ticket sales within the near future.
Based on “Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select,” WWE conducted a multi-department company meeting to debate the ticket sales for WrestleMania 42, with each department reportedly being told to include promotions and methods to enhance attendance and momentum because the event is just over two months away. That said, at the moment WWE has no intentions of lowering ticket prices, with the most affordable seat available being $266.80 USD. Moreover, by February of last 12 months, WWE had already sold 10,000 more tickets for every night of WrestleMania 41.
Last week, Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reported that watch parties at venues inside 50 miles of Allegiant Stadium is being prohibited by WWE. This resulted in lots of establishments to be angered with the choice, as the town of Las Vegas paid a site fee to host WrestleMania in hopes of accelerating tourism during April. Right now, the one match confirmed for WrestleMania 42 is 2026 Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns versus CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship.
