They could set premium tickets at even higher prices and they'd still sell bc it's WrestleMania, it's not some big brain move. As long as they keep the cheap seats relatively cheap which they seem to, they'll still keep most goodwill from the average fan who already expects the event to be pricey to go to.

And thats not a negative before the pitchforks come out, the spectacle of WrestleMania and what people are willing to pay is a success from how they've built and marketed it, especially the last few years. They barely have to try for Mania now, it's gonna do insane business and even if it sucks its gonna take more than just one year of that before anyone will care when tickets come out for the next one

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
I guess I could have worded it less Jeff-like but yeah, thanks bro. Guess some people are feeling a bit triggered today.

Wasn't that seating chart posted with all the prices on inaccurate or something because i've seen people on Twitter and Reddit who bought tickets say they weren't even close to that.

I think cheapest tickets were like 40 or 50 so yeah you can still get in the door no matter what if you are a family. they have just increased all the other sections by more. AEW did similar things too, FD2 was very expensive compared to the year before and the older shows we're also much cheaper than they are now.

The popular one circling around was debunked like right after people started posting it yeah. The best seats were higher but regular and cheap seats were about the same as last year I believe

Probably not, I'm not as into football as much as I used to and the Cowboys aren't ever making one anyway. I might just go if there's another in Dallas regardless of teams

I think for stuff like Mania , All in, Superbowl etc, you have to forgo that EGO part of the brain and remind yourself, it's all about just being there. how close you are doesn't really matter imo, it's about the energy and the experience and being one big crowd

Personally that's never appealed to me much and that's why I didn't even go to Mania here last year. After being spoiled by being so close at indy shows I enjoy that so much more, and they're also cheaper so I basically get my live event fix there and I'm content.

But obviously, I don't judge people for dropping a lot on good Mania seats either, it's something I always wanted to do for awhile myself too so happy for them getting the experience

Yeah when I was front row by pure luck for that ROH show last year I've really not had a desire to go to shows unless I can get tickets like that again :lol I've only been to two since and one was Dynamite later that same week, the other was Revolver
