To the surprise of nobody, Raw tickets for April 3rd in Orlando at the Amway Arena, the day after WrestleMania, are sold out.

Tickets went on sale to the public today, and with about 14,000 tickets on sale, they went quickly.

With tens of thousands of travelers coming in and with activities scheduled all week, including the Hall of Fame on Friday, NXT on Saturday, and both Raw and SmackDown on Monday and Tuesday, the arena tickets are often the quickest to go.

SmackDown tickets for the next day were said to be selling well, but they were not sold out.

The events are part of WWE’s plan to run shows over four straight nights for their “big four” pay-per-view weekends.

There are also expected to be more outside shows from more promotions, both pro wrestling shows and other shows catering to wrestling fans, in Orlando, mostly from Thursday through Sunday, than at any WrestleMania to date.

It is now official that WrestleMania 33 will be on April 2, 2017, at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.

WWE will hold a press conference tomorrow morning in Orlando to make the announcement.

The Orlando Sentinel and Brian Fritz were given the story to break including quotes from Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, who is expected to attend the press conference along with Florida Governor Rick Scott and Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs. John Saboor of WWE credited the improvements in the Citrus Bowl as a key reason for Orlando getting the show for the second time in ten years.

Orlando won out over more than a dozen other locations when the decision was made not to go with Minneapolis.

Also announced is that the Hall of Fame ceremony and the post Mania Raw will take place at the Amway Arena, while Fan Axxess will take place at the Orange County Convention Center.

Dyer was part of the team that went to Stamford in December to clinch the deal and said the city would like to get WrestleMania every five years.
