  • WrestleMania 42 two-day tickets are insanely priced; top floor seats cost about $8,998.
  • Most seats range $854–$3,868; many 100–300 level tickets sit around $1,174–$1,495.
  • TKO says higher prices maximize revenue; don’t expect WrestleMania ticket costs to drop soon.

In a not-surprising move, WWE tickets for WrestleMania 42 are insanely expensive. The event is set to take place at the same arena as WrestleMania 41 — the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the latest look at how much WWE is charging fans now, it’s not looking good for two-day ticket prices. But fans probably already knew it wasn't going to be cheap.

How Much Are Two-Day Ticket Prices?

If you want one of the best seats on the floor, Section A1, you’ll have to shell out $8,998.00, while Section B on the floor costs roughly $3,868.00, according to PWInsider. The outlet revealed that Section R101 prices are $2,200.75.

Looking at level sections, there are three different prices for the 100 level: $1495.00, $1303.54, and $1174.80. The 200 level tickets are between $1,303.54 and $1,174.80. While the 300 level sits at $1,174.80 and the lowest is obviously, the 400 level, which costs roughly around $854.15.

Last year’s ticket prices weren’t any better either. A two-day combo ticket that wasn't a ringside seat, but a regular seat, with a “decent view,” cost $1,890. The highest ticket, according to Sports Illustrated, was $10,000, while the cheapest ticket was $450. That’s not counting people who live outside of North America and how much travel expenses alone cost. Though for the first time ever, WrestleMania will be taking place outside of North America in 2027. The location is Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

TKO Is Happy With Charging Fans More

Now it’s known that WrestleMania has always been the most expensive WWE event to go to, but looking at WWE’s most recent PLE, Wrestlepalooza, the best seats were between $2,0000 and $6,000. Now, if you didn’t care about having a view, it was only $130.15. As noted , TKO President Mark Shapiro thinks that ticket prices should be high to "maximize opportunity.”

"We know we have a lot of room there because Vince McMahon was primarily pricing tickets for families and wasn’t totally focused on maxing the opportunity there. We see what we can do with the UFC, and we’re replicating that in terms of ticket yield and advance sales when it comes to On Location on the WWE side." ( h/t: Sports Illustrated)

So don’t expect prices to be lower anytime soon unless WWE ticket sales take a huge plunge.
