With WWE being extremely popular at the moment, ticket prices have been gradually increasing over the past few years. However, despite this, many fans were still stunned when WrestleMania 41 prices were confirmed to range from $400 to $15,000, depending on the seat location. This would, therefore, cause many fans who have been priced out of attending to accuse WWE of price gouging.
And now, after a fan bumped into Randy Orton over the weekend and told him how much they’d paid, he would respond by calling it “embarrassing.” Subsequently, this would be uploaded to TikTok, resulting in fans not only being shocked that someone would pay $30,000 for their multiple-night package but also that the WWE star would share his honest opinion while being filmed.
Following the conclusion of WrestleMania 41, WWE issued multiple press releases bragging about the two-night attendance of 124,693 and claiming it was the largest gate for any WWE show ever. As of the time of writing, the exact figure is unclear, but it must be over $40 million, as WrestleMania 40 drew this amount over both nights. Thus, WWE will almost certainly continue to charge exorbitant prices for the foreseeable future, making it difficult for the average fan to attend their most significant events.
