Update on WWE WrestleMania 42 ticket sales and discounts

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

Dave Meltzer has an update on the ticket prices and discounts for WrestleMania 42. 

In today’s edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that WWE rolled out another sale with 25 percent off for Night 1 and 2 of Wrestlemania 42. The reasoning was to ensure Allegiant Stadium is packed for the event. 

The discount was also applicable for the Raw and SmackDown related to the event, and the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. 

Meltzer wrote: 

“WWE did another sale, this time 25 percent off sale for both nights of WrestleMania this past week in another attempt to boost sales and make sure the place is full, which it will be by the end. It was not only WrestleMania, but the Hall of Fame, Raw and Smackdown all getting a 25 percent off sale, coming a week after a 31.6 percent sale for all of those shows.”

“The 25 percent off also included the other events WWE is putting on that week, which are Smackdown at 5,810 tickets out which has to be a major disappointment and Raw at 7,305 at T-Mobile Arena, while the Hall of Fame, in a smaller setting, is at 2,183.” 

The ticket sales and discounts indicate that the ticket distribution is nearly 13.3 percent lower than it was for WrestleMania 41. 

Night 1 of WrestleMania 42, scheduled for April 18 is currently has around 39,800 tickets out. Night 2, taking place on April 19, has approximately 41,300 out. 

However, estimates suggest that attendance could still exceed 50,000 per night by the time WrestleMania 42 takes place. 

“Right now after the latest sale, WrestleMania in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium has 39,866 for 4/18 and 41,330 for 4/19. They are 13.3 percent behind last year, which is closer than the 18 percent behind they were doing before the two major sales. In the end, they’ll have 50,000 or more in and will announce a number that is about the same if not slightly bigger than last year.”

“The secondary market get in prices of $205 for the first night and $211 for the second night 23.8 percent down from the same period last year, so that’s probably a better measure of the ticket demand.” 

To provide fans with an exclusive experience, WWE also announced availability of seats on top of the WrestleMania 42 stage. A similar seating option was also offered for last year’s edition of the Premium Live Event. 

WrestleMania 42 will take place at Allegiant Stadium for the second time in a row. Roman Reigns challenges CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event. Randy Orton pursues his quest to win his 15th WWE World Title reign by defeating Cody Rhodes.

Meanwhile, The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony will be held on April 17 at the Dolby Live in Park MGM, Las Vegas.

MJF takes shot at WWE’s ticket pricing

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

AEW World Champion recently took a shot at WWE’s current ticket prices while promoting AEW’s more affordable options.

Booked to appear on the upcoming AEW Dynamite show in El Paso, Texas, on March 4th, 2026, MJF recently appeared in an interview with ABC-7 sports director Adrian Ochoa on KVIA, where he shared his thoughts on WWE ticket prices.

“You pay me the big bucks, I’m coming. There is a possibility I might be wrestling on that show, who’s to say? You never know. There might be a title defense in El Paso,” MJF said.

“Unlike WWE, you don’t have to sell the soul of your firstborn to buy a ticket. There are normal prices. You go to AEWtix.com or Ticketmaster.com. We don’t discriminate against poors, the same way the world champ does. I hate you people. Look, but somebody’s gotta pay daddy’s bills and that’s gonna be people like you, okay?“

There were recent rumors about WWE WrestleMania 42 ticket sales going down as a result of the high ticket prices. While there were no confirmations about the report, the promotion was allegedly in discussions about boosting ticket sales, as Allegiant Stadium also later advertised discounted ticket prices.

MJF is currently scheduled to face Adam Page at AEW Revolution on March 15th, 2026, with his World title on the line.
