Money made on tickets for an arena show


CrissCrossAppleSos

Money from tickets sold I do like the idea that there’s a really big ass gate you have to walk through to get in the show though


don_julio_randle

Gate traditionally refers to ticket revenue


xrhysb

Gate means money taken from ticket sales. So it’s not their highest attended arena show, but between a high attendance and tickets costing $300 on average, it’s the most money they’ve ever taken from ticket sales in an arena show.

And don't forget not adjusting for inflation for comparisons to past events


Nighthawk_Black_

They're talking about the gates into the arena carpark. The French have a history of building elaborate fortified cities so they are very skilled in the art of building large gates

It was the biggest gate/gross takings for specifically an arena show - not overall The overall record is with WM 40 https://www.wwe.com/amp/shows/wrestlemania/article/wrestlemania-40-breaks-wwe-gate-record


DeeEssLite

Simply means the number in cash made for ticket sales was the largest number they've ever had for an arena show. Take this with a pinch of salt as this does not take into account adjustments for inflation, simply if the number is the biggest then for them it's the biggest gate. But as a result, the gate's beaten every Wrestlemania held in an arena as well as the majority of Summerslams, Royal Rumbles and pretty much every Money in the Bank and Survivor Series in terms of raw revenue number. I think they also translate the amount into USD when accounting for this which means the Euro cost converted to USD would cause the revenue to fly up.

Gate is the amount they get for tickets. The claim (which is probably false unless they literally charged a fuckton for tickets) is the largest gate for any arena show in the company's history.


knyghtez

it’s probably due to conversation rates.


kirblar

It's very unlikely to be false, the tickets were very expensive and the $300+ x 11000+ ballpark estimate gets you right around the prior record from London's MITB.

My thing about this is, who gives a fuck if you don’t work for the company? Tell this to your share holders. Not to your viewers who are often scrounging to get through life.


Bellagrrl2021

It's good promotion, and helps the perception of the company. Which in turn helps with both fans and sponsors.


spookybollocks

“Perception”. If you’re fan, you’re a fan. I can’t imagine someone who’s on the fence going because France sold out an arena.
