Last week, WWE hosted their WrestleMania 39 tickets launch event in Los Angeles, in a star-studded event featuring names from WWE and entertainment.
JoJo Siwa, Gabriel Iglesias, and WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg appeared alongside the likes of The Miz, Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, and Becky Lynch.
WWE wanted to make a great impression with fans looking to buy tickets for WrestleMania 39 and they’ve certainly succeeded.
With a maximum capacity inside SoFi Stadium of over 70,000, WWE has their work cut out filling the venue for both nights of WrestleMania 39.
The “combo” ticket package (WrestleMania Saturday & Sunday) was close to selling out a few days ago. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted last week that over 10,000 combo packages were sold during the pre-sale event, and around 1,000 tickets were sold individually for each night in the pre-sale.
Combo tickets were described as reasonably priced, while individual tickets ran much higher and were described in the Observer as ridiculously priced.
It’s worth noting, only a limited number of sections were made available at the beginning. Additional blocks of tickets will be released as sales ramp up.
With WWE moving so many tickets in the first few days since they went on sale, it should come as no surprise that company executives are said to be “ecstatic” with the early ticket sales. Tickets for night two are selling especially well, according to PWInsider. This indicates fans are bracing for a big main event, presumably the long-rumored showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns.
On last Friday’s SmackDown, Michael Cole noted that this event marked the highest amount of first-day ticket sales for any WrestleMania event.
