With WrestleMania 40 tickets going on sale to the general public today, WWE has already broken its all-time gate record.

Sports business reporter Darren Rovell notes that WWE has already sold more than 90,000 tickets for the two-day event, which is being held at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, April 6 and Sunday, April 7, 2024. WWE has also already passed the $21.5 million in ticket sales that WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles generated.

"JUST IN: WrestleMania 40 went on sale today and has already broken @WWE's’s all-time gate record ($21.5M at WrestleMania 39 in LA)," Rovell wrote. "More than 90,000 tickets sold so far to the two-day event at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia in April 2024."

The pre-sale for WrestleMania 40 tickets began this Tuesday prior to Friday's general public on-sale.

WWE also sold more than 90,000 tickets during the pre-sale and first day of general ticket sales for WrestleMania 39.

This will be the second time that Philadelphia has ever hosted WrestleMania. WrestleMania XV was held in the city in 1999.

Yeah it's an insane stat still I think, but not surprising at all when you look at prices and how fast they moved still. You're basically guaranteed a higher gate from the year before for any given PPV if they move as fast and especially faster. I think it's more of a "story" when things like SummerSlam out perform the Rumble like it did this year when Rumble is almost always the more successful show. You can actually look into the "why" there

Dale probably had something to do with that to make his post show up first, I bet.

So All-In already not the “biggest show ever”?

 

[Chris]

I mean it was never gonna be biggest gate, they're just plugging that bc it'll have a higher real attendance than any other show ever lol but WWE already has plenty fake attendances higher so they weren't ever stressing about that branding, they know their fans will fight to the death for that Cowboys Stadium number lol

I help run a small business, and if I could double my prices, I would in a heartbeat. It's common sense.

He never even said it was bad, it's clearly a "no shit" they'd break this year's record when prices are higher lmaooooo but never mind communicating like normal humans on a wrestling forum

 

[Chris]

Hey guess what AEW had higher gates with less tickets sold this year for some events, that's bc they raised prices too. So...no shit the gate was higher

There's no guarantee the tickets will sell at higher prices. That's why it's still impressive and can't be dismissed.
