WWE reveals on-sale date for WrestleMania 42 combo tickets

Posted on by Joseph Currier

In just over a month, fans will be able to begin purchasing tickets for WrestleMania 42.

WWE announced today that two-day combo tickets for WrestleMania will go on sale to the general public via Ticketmaster at 11 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, September 24. The two-night event is taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19, 2026.

The promotion has also opened up a mailing list for fans interested in receiving pre-sale information.

Information regarding when single-day tickets will go on sale has not been announced yet.

WWE and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority are partnering together for the show, with this being the second consecutive year that Las Vegas has hosted WrestleMania. Originally, the 2026 event was supposed to be held in New Orleans — but WWE scrapped those plans and instead decided to bring WrestleMania back to Allegiant Stadium. New Orleans will now host Money in the Bank 2026 as well as receiving a future WrestleMania.

Dave Meltzer reports that one of the reasons WWE made the decision to hold WrestleMania in Las Vegas again is because WrestleMania 41 made so much money for the company.

Vegas first hosted WrestleMania in 1993 with WrestleMania IX emanating from Caesars Palace.

No matches have been made official for WrestleMania yet, but the card should start coming into focus after the Royal Rumble takes place on Saturday, February 1.

This will be the last WrestleMania that John Cena ever competes at. He’s on a retirement tour that started this month and will end in December. Cena, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Logan Paul, Liv Morgan, Gunther, Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins, Nia Jax, and Jey Uso are featured on WWE’s graphic promoting the WrestleMania 41 ticket on-sale date.

WWE and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority have partnered together for the event, along with Raw, SmackDown, NXT Stand & Deliver, the WWE World fan convention, and the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony taking place in Las Vegas in the days surrounding WrestleMania.

WWE reveals WrestleMania 41 ticket on-sale date

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The ticket on-sale date for WWE WrestleMania 41 is just over one month away.

WWE revealed today that WrestleMania 41 tickets are going on sale to the general public starting at 1 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, October 25. The two-night event is being held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20, 2025. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster.

The ticket pre-sale begins on Wednesday, October 23. For those interested in pre-sale access, WWE has a mailing list to receive information.

WrestleMania has traditionally been held in early April, but WWE is moving the event back a couple of weeks next year. It will no longer take place on the same weekend as the Final Four of the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament.

This is the first time Las Vegas has hosted WrestleMania since 1993, when WrestleMania IX was held at Caesars Palace. Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), Los Angeles (California), Arlington (Texas), and Tampa (Florida) have been WrestleMania host cities in recent years.

WWE Raw, SmackDown, NXT Stand & Deliver, WWE World (a fan event with Fanatics), and the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will also take place in Las Vegas surrounding WrestleMania 41.

WrestleMania 40 breaks WWE’s all-time gate record

Posted on by Joseph Currier

With WrestleMania 40 tickets going on sale to the general public today, WWE has already broken its all-time gate record.

Sports business reporter Darren Rovell notes that WWE has already sold more than 90,000 tickets for the two-day event, which is being held at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, April 6 and Sunday, April 7, 2024. WWE has also already passed the $21.5 million in ticket sales that WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles generated.

“JUST IN: WrestleMania 40 went on sale today and has already broken @wwe’s’s all-time gate record ($21.5M at WrestleMania 39 in LA),” Rovell wrote. “More than 90,000 tickets sold so far to the two-day event at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia in April 2024.”

The pre-sale for WrestleMania 40 tickets began this Tuesday prior to Friday’s general public on-sale.

WWE also sold more than 90,000 tickets during the pre-sale and first day of general ticket sales for WrestleMania 39.

This will be the second time that Philadelphia has ever hosted WrestleMania. WrestleMania XV was held in the city in 1999.

The ticket on-sale date for WWE WrestleMania 40 is less than a month away.

WWE announced today that WrestleMania 40 tickets will go on sale to the general public via Ticketmaster on Friday, August 18 at 10 a.m. Eastern time. The two-night event is taking place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday, April 6 and Sunday, April 7, 2024.

WWE has also opened registration for a ticket pre-sale.

This will be the first time WrestleMania has been held in Philadelphia in 25 years. Headlined by Steve Austin vs. The Rock, WrestleMania XV took place in Philly in 1999.

Premium ticket packages for WrestleMania 40 are already on sale through On Location. WWE touted that, in less than one week, the On Location packages “have surpassed WWE records.”

Tickets for WrestleMania 39 also went on sale in August the year before the event.

WrestleMania 40 is the fifth straight year that WrestleMania has been a two-night show. The new tradition began with WrestleMania 36 in 2020 and has continued since then.

WWE announces record-breaking first-day ticket sales for WrestleMania 39

Posted on by Joseph Currier

WWE is touting record-breaking ticket sale numbers for WrestleMania 39.

After tickets went on sale to the general public last Friday, WWE issued a press release this morning announcing that WrestleMania 39 has set a record for first-day ticket sales. More than 90,000 tickets for the two-night event were sold within the first 24 hours, which WWE says is a 42 percent increase over first-day ticket sales for WrestleMania 38.

SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California is hosting WrestleMania 39 on Saturday, April 1 and Sunday, April 2, 2023. It will be the fourth straight year that WrestleMania has been held over two nights.

“WWE today announced a record for first-day ticket sales for WrestleMania 39 taking place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles,” WWE wrote. “Over 90,000 tickets were sold within the first 24 hours – more than any event in WWE history and a 42% increase over first-day sales for WrestleMania 38 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.”

Paul “Triple H” Levesque also addressed the ticket sales on WWE’s second quarter investors call this morning.

“In nearly 40 years, we have never sold that many WrestleMania tickets that fast,” Levesque said. “With those record numbers, we are tracking toward sell-outs with passionate fans at SoFi Stadium for both nights.”

Of the two-night WrestleManias that have taken place, this will be the second with full-capacity crowds.

WrestleMania 40 in 2024 will also be a two-night show. It’s been announced for Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Monday News Update

  • Bryan and I will be back tonight covering Raw and the latest wrestling news. We also have show we did last night with Kevin Kelly on the G-1 Climax tournament, which finishes up with shows Tuesday through Thursday at Budokan Hall.
  • WWE’s quarterly investors call will take place at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow Eastern time. Usually these dates are announced weeks ahead of time and are on Thursdays after the market closes. There have been a few tentative dates that weren’t announced that were moved as new things were found out regarding Vince McMahon. The early time and sudden announcement are likely due to wanting fewer people asking McMahon questions. However, the stock price remains strong for all the reasons we’ve written about since McMahon was ousted, at at $72.17 per share.
  • Both nights of WrestleMania are at about 49,000 tickets out after they went on sale to the public on Friday. That’s well above he pace of last year in Dallas. (thanks to Wrestle Tix)
  • Raw is tonight from Washington, DC. The only matches announced are Bobby Lashley vs. AJ Styles for the U.S. title and Asuka & Alexa Bliss vs. Doudrop & Nikki ASH in the women’s tag team tournament. We’re looking for reports from this show, with Main Event results and any dark matches to [email protected]
  • We’re also looking for dark match results from Friday’s Smackdown show in Raleigh, NC.
  • Today’s BTE more than strongly teased Kenny Omega as the Young Bucks partner in the six-man tag tournament match on Wednesday night in Charleston WV. That is what everyone expects. Matt calls someone up and asks if he’s ready and then they play the beginning of Omega’s music.
  • All four blocks in the G-1 are up for grabs tomorrow with the show from Budokan Hall that starts at 5 a.m. Eastern time. This is the match order
  • Will Ospreay vs. Juice Robinson – If Ospreay wins and Shingo Takagi loses, Ospreay wins D block
  • Shingo Takagi vs. El Phantasmo – If Takagi wins, he wins D block. If he and Ospreay both lose, there is a seven-way tie
  • Hirooki Goto vs. Evil – If Goto wins and Sabre loses, there is a three-way tie in C block
  • Tetsuya Naito vs Zack Sabre Jr. – If Sabre wins or draws, he wins the block. If Naito and Evil loses, Naito wins the block
  • Tomohiro Ishii vs. Sanada
  • Jay White vs. Tama Tonga – Winner wins B block, if a draw than White wins B block
  • Bad Luck Fale vs. Jonah – if Jonah wins and there is a no contest in the main event, then Jonah wins the A block
  • Kazuchika Okada vs. Lance Archer – If Okada wins, he wins A block. If Archer wins, he wins A block. If it’s a draw, Okada wins A block.
  • A few notes on the Friday ratings. Smackdown at 1,927,000 viewers and 0.44, being down from usual is because it was moved out of its normal time slot in 12 percent of the country due to NFL preseason games airing on the local FOX station. So this number really means nothing.
  • For Rampage, its being way up (528,000/0.17) was because it had a lead-in that was 58 percent up from usual and the Bryan Danielson promo did well. they did maintain a number way above usual for the rest of the show but it declined each quarter.
  • With football coming, the pro wrestling finishes in the top five and top ten for the week are winding to a close in the fall.
  • AEW Dynamite will be preempted on 10/19 due to the TBS airing the American League championship series. There may be other preemptions in October. Smackdown may also be moved to FS 1 in October once or twice.
  • NXT Heatwave tomorrow night on USA
  • Bron Breakker vs. JD McDonagh for the NXT title
  • Mandy Rose vs. Zoey Stark for the NXT women’s title
  • Carmelo Hayes vs. Giovanni Vinci for the North American title
  • Cora Jade vs. Roxanne Perez
  • Tony D’Angelo vs. Santos Escobar street fight – If D’Angelo wins, Escobar leaves NXT; if Escobar wins, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro and Elektra Lopez leave the D’Angelo Family.
  • The next Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Broken Skull sessions, with Charlotte Flair, airs on Friday night.
  • On New Japan on AXS on Thursday this week, they take a break from G1 to air the Alex Shelley vs. Kushida match from Nashville.

Other Notes

  • Jim “The King” Trotter (who used that name before Jerry Lawler), who was one of the major Roller Games stars in the late 60s and early 70s, passed away yesterday on his 85th birthday. He was particularly a big name as the top men’s star for a few years with the Philadelphia-based Eastern Warriors. He was a top heel star as coach of the Texas Outlaws whose babyface turn in 1971 was particularly memorable and an angle copied over and over by the promotion.
  • Southern Illinois Championship Wrestling from Saturday night in East Carondelet, IL: El Diablo b Waco, Jayson Breed b The Intern, Gary Jackson b Sean Vincent, Billy McNeil b Hollis Girioux, Bobby D & The Big Texan b Christopher Hargas & Richard Shaw, Flash Flanagan b Sheik Prater-DQ, Bob Orton & Brandon Baretta b Kowalski & Mauler McDarby, Curtis Wylde b Attila Khan-DQ. Tommy Rich was the special guest at the show (thanks to Patrick Brandmeyer)
  • With Robbie Eagles out with COVID, his main event tonight for CMLL in Puebla against Soberano Jr. was hanged to a singles match with Soberano Jr. vs. Templario. (thanks to Rene Ochoa)
  • BrainSlam from last night in Los Angeles: Brody King b Rey Horus, Willow Nightingale won three-way over Tuna and Jody Threat, Rocky Romero won over Matt Cross, Misterioso Slice Boogie and Dom Kubrik, Swerve Strickland b Black Taurus, Hiromu Takahashi b Warhorse. Takahashi didn’t do much but said he loved the US and especially Los Angels (thanks to Chris Whitehead)
  • ISPW this coming Friday in Butler, NJ at St. Anthony of Padua Gym featuring Virgil and Zeb Colter plus Maven and Crowbar appear.
