Folks, it’s happening again. Wrestling fans across the world are clenching their wallets tighter than a figure-four leg lock, and for good reason. WWE’s WrestleMania 41 pre-sale is kicking off October 23, with the general sale coming just a couple of days later on October 25. And this year? Well, it’s not just the wrestlers who’ll be body-slamming—so will your bank account. WrestleMania 41 is set to take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 19 and 20, marking the first time WWE’s biggest event will dropkick right into Easter weekend. I mean, what’s more festive than egg hunts and powerbombs?
But here’s where the real action begins: the ticket prices. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is offering an Elite combination package that would make the Million Dollar Man himself choke on his laugh. This special deal will let you attend four premium nights of WWE madness: “SmackDown,” both nights of WrestleMania, and “Raw.” If you’re one of those brave souls who wants to be seen on camera more than Hulk Hogan’s mustache in the 80s, the middle of the row seats will set you back a cool $50,000. That’s right, folks. Fifty grand. You’ll be seen more times on TV than your favorite wrestler’s entrance video.
If you’re willing to be in the cheap seats (aka, the end of the row), it’s a mere $35,000. What a steal, right? And for those of you who still want a front-row experience without forking over the price of a small house, second and third-row seats will cost you between $27,000 and $32,500. But hey, there’s a silver lining: these Elite packages come with mystery perks. Maybe it’s a backstage handshake with Vince? Or a gold-plated chair you get to take home? Only time will tell, folks.
Now, for those hoping to attend without needing to sell a kidney or re-mortgage their home, the report doesn’t mention what normal seats will cost. But if WWE’s recent trend of breaking gate records is any indication, your wallet is in for a Stone Cold Stunner.
