Information on Travelling to WWE PPVs?

[AndyB2210]

I live in the UK and I am a huge fan of the WWE and want to start travelling to WWE Pay Per Views on a regular basis. Just wondering if this is something people do and is there anybody from the UK who does this or would like to do it? Also if there is any people from other countries or America I would just like to find out about there experiences travelling to shows outside there area?

I have only went to shows locally. I am not sure how far out @Adamska Meltzer. is from where he is going, but he is in the UK and will be going to one of their shows this year. Maybe he can help you out with some questions.

Cheers for the tag @Solid Snake

Unless you're wallet is a bottomless pit of money and your job offers a shit ton of annual leave then there is no way you can attend PPVs on a regular basis from the UK to the US, you're talking upwards of £2000 Per Person every PPV and 2-4 days of Annual leave per PPV.

You'd be better off doing their UK tour and following all their shows, UK public transport is pretty far forward compared to the US to traveling up and down the country to House Shows and TV Tapings is way more managable and affordable.

Its worth noting I live roughly 40 minutes from Glasgow so it was just a train ride in and a low level train to the arena so that is basically the jist for traveling to UK house shows for pretty much everywhere, trains or bus. Maybe a flight if you're coming from up north to like Manchester or London. Traveling to the US so often isn't managable at all not to mention the Visa issue, that will be a fun one to explain to Border Agents. "So why have you entered the US for a few days every second weekend?"

Thanks for your replies. The money side wouldn't be a major issue and have my own businesses so can take off whenever I want really. I wasn't thinking of going every couple of weeks or anything like that I was just thinking maybe 3 or 4 PPVs each year and probably do the Raws & Smackdown if they are nearby then throw on top the UK tours.

Biggest issue I have really is that most of my mates are football guys and not into wrestling so find it a bit daunting traveling out to America on my own. This is why I was wondering if this is something people do to get an idea if it would be an enjoyable experience on your own.

I'm from Newcastle so Glasgow was the closest they've ever been, but I missed that event. I was gutted.

I'd probably look at maybe the big 4 or something like that because you can get the travel packages which make it a bit cheaper.

They do Newcastle shows every tour, they are doing a house show in Newcastle in May and then a TV taping in london.

Do keep in mind Visas, they will absolutely question you.

Yeh I go to the house shows in Newcastle. It's when I watch the big shows on tv I'm always thinking dam I wish I was there lol. Especially Wrestlemania n Royal Rumble.

I still argue we should get a PPV over in the UK mind.

Sorry to hijack this thread @Adamska Meltzer. could you possibly give me some advice - I'm based in the UK but I will be in New York in August and am looking to get a package for Summerslam - but don't need hotel etc - any advice on what would be the best way to go about getting the NXT / meet and greet and Summerslam package without having to get the whole travel package that the WWE offer? Thanks in advance
