WrestleMania 32 Already Breaks WWE Attendance Record?, How Many Fans Are Expected For The Event - WrestlingInc.com

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter thatWrestleMania 32 has already broken the WWE all-time attendance record. As of last Tuesday, 84,000 tickets have been sold and the event is almost sold out. Meltzer noted that the final number will be slightly over the 84,000 tickets already sold, unless the company opens up standing room tickets.

The current WWE attendance record was set by SummerSlam in 1992 at Wembley Stadium, which had 79,127 tickets sold for the show. The U.S. attendance record is approximately 78,000 for WrestleMania III, although the worked figure for that show is 93,173. With WWE usually exaggerating attendance figures by 10,000 - 13,000, Meltzer noted that it's very possible that WWE will announce the WrestleMania 32 attendance to be over 100,000.

Brian Fritz interviewed Vince McMahon for The Orlando Sentinel earlier this week and Fritz that the company was expecting 100,000 fans for this year's show. Fritz asked McMahon how much pressure he felt to keep making the event bigger each year. "I can say, unequivocally, that it's a lot of pressure," McMahon admitted. "Every year you have to outdo yourself. This year was difficult because John Cena was not a part of it. We have to reach way down and try and come up with things you haven't done before and also hold back surprises that the audience does not know. They expect that from us."

Well, at least if you believe that the number for Wrestlemania 3 was worked anyway (Meltzer and others have always said the actually attendance that year was around 78,000), which would make WM29 the previous record with paid attendance of 80,676. They'll probably succeed in pampering the rest of the show with the remaining 16,000 if they have to, and then announce that they have a 100,000 or more people in the building.

Just found it funny how the guy said they had to outdo themselves to draw. Actually, this proves that Wrestlemania just sells because it's Wrestlemania. I mean, the card has been pretty meh as of right now (only Brock vs Ambrose sounds good form the announced matches, and Dean isn't THAT big of a star to draw all of this). The only thing they have to do to sell over 100k is to make at least 100k tickets available, lol
