WrestleMania Preliminary Buys For Wrestlemania 29 Released

[Crayo]

The preliminary WrestleMania 29 buys total is 1,048,000 million buys, according to the latest monthly business figures released by WWE on Friday night.

WWE did not include a domestic and international break down for the PPV. However, the event will likely turn out to be the highest-grossing PPV event in company history because of the PPV price increase, more sources to watch WrestleMania, and a greater proportion of higher-priced HD purchases over standard definition.

The official PPV buy total will be released in the Second Quarter 2013 earnings, which should be released in August. Once all buys are accounted for, the number will likely round to 1.1 million buys, as opposed to currently rounding down to 1.0 million buys.

WrestleMania PPV Buys - Last 5 Years

2009 - 960,000 buys
2010 - 885,000 buys
2011 - 1,059,000 buys
2012 - 1,217,000 buys
2013 - 1,048,000 buys (prelim. figure)

So it looks like it won't break buy records like it was reported to a month or so ago, but it will be the highest grossing Wrestlemania.

No surprise. Next year will surely break the record, though.

Wish it was worse since it was so crap in places. Dread to think the quality we will get without Taker stoking the fires after next year.
