A new report from WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, WWE is reportedly held a multi-department meeting on Wednesday, discussing new strategies and ideas for increasing ticket sales for WrestleMania 42.
The report also noted tickets sales as of Wednesday are in the 36,000 distributed range per night, which is approximately 10,000 tickets per night behind as compared to this time last year. Last year’s event WrestleMania ended up having between 56,000-60,000 distributed per night (announced as 124,693 combined), which broke financial records for WWE. It was further said WWE plans to keep the ticket prices at what they are for the time being.
Furthermore, the report states one talking point as to why ticket sales could be slower, is due to concerns from those traveling internationally to the US as it pertains to the current political climate.
Fightful Select reported last week, the distributor of the WrestleMania 42 broadcasts informed a number of venues in Las Vegas they will not be able to air the huge two-day event, even if they pay the licensing fee. Fightful added this was further explained as a possible way to increase ticket sales.
