Wrestlemania London?

Does anyone know what sort of price Mania tickets went for this year?  I’m toying with going to Las Vegas but the last Mania I went to was 35 in New York when it was still 1 night.  I know prices will have jumped up and there’s the 2nd night to factor in so I’m not sure what sort of amount I should be budgeting for tickets

I didn't get them on the actual sale date but I paid close to £1,600 for a total of 6 tickets (3 per night) night 1 I got in Early Feb and Night 2 early March and that was the upper tier both nights 

The resale didn't see a big drop in prices at all, I think the Rock factor kept the prices generally high.

I think the general price range on the on sale date were insane to sit ringside and floor but upper tier level I think was close to $100-150ish but the fees are what is the real kicker, the fees on my tickets were over $250.

A lot.

The cheapest - as in the very last row with limited view on the day were $140, whereas the year before in LA they were $30.

Thanks both, sadly that’s around what I was imagining.  I was assuming £1000+ for both nights and potentially Smackdown and RAW (if RAW is still on Monday after the move to Netflix)

Had no idea where to place this picture, but apparently HHH and Nick Khan held a meeting to discuss bringing WrestleMania to London (?).

This picture is just phenomenal.

He remains absolutely rubbish at this type of stuff.

Genuinely starting to believe he hasn’t read the lawsuit.

Maybe they brought that size belt thinking they were meeting Rishi Sunak.

He’d have been good in the wrestling. Except he’d have upgraded the MITB briefcase to his £750 backpack.

Look at the size of that thing. It's like they only got given a budget flight with 7kg hand luggage. Probably picked it up in the duty free as well. 

[The Gaffer]

That's surely going to wind up on Have I Got News For You, isn't it? 

I wonder what the thought process on that was or if it was just one of those bizarre oversights, because giving someone a teeny tiny belt for a photo ops only going to go one way, and these guys usually trip over themselves giving full size replicas to any sports team that wins an event.

Wembley Stadium could incorporate Wembley Arena 

London Stadium could incorporate The O2 Arena 

Spurs Stadium and Twickenham other options 

I'm sure West Ham or Spurs would take the £££ to have games away for a few rounds while wwe take over the stadium

All open stadiums (not sure what your incorporating points were about), so after this years disaster for night 1, no way they will want Mania in London at that time of year.

Incorporating was suggesting keeping the events around the same area for the full weekend

A summer WrestleMania would be an intresting move and completely reshuffle the PLE calender. Could see the Rumble in March in that case

Wouldn't be up to them to make that decision, it would be up to the Premier League. 

Can't see it happening somehow.

More chance of AEW x WWE Prohibited Portal taking place then moving their calendar because Wembley doesn’t have a roof.

Outside of Michael Cole not wearing enough layers, was night one this year really a disaster?

I've read somebody point out the average temperature in London for that time of year is slightly higher, and I imagine both travelling fans and the company would be better prepared.

Next year's WM happens on April 19 & 20. The latest it has ever been. There's even been talk of pushing it to May.
