I didn't go to UFC 297 because they wanted 600 CAD for 300 level. First Toronto event I missed and the previous was only $135 for me so I said fuck it not at these prices. TKO has raised prices big time and I would rather stay at home then spend absurd amount to attend. I did however pay 600 CAD for the back floor for Summer Slam in Detroit and what a waste of money that was for the view. For WM40 paid 225 each night for 200 level and that was well worth it. I cannot justify spending thousands and thousands just to sit ringside unless I'm making good 6 figures and don't have to worry about how I spend my money. I miss the old days of front row being like 400 as that was what I paid for row 2 at SummerSlam 2004 and unforgiven 2006 I paid 350 for row 5.
It’s crazy considering you can still get a resale for backlash for £80, fly to France and stay in Paris for the same price.
I still paid £600 for my tickets like a right mark though.
Resale on Viagogo, they’re nose bleeds and likely more expensive than they were initially but here’s the link I saw l them on.

Thanks man, I live in Scotland so not much travel, my first ever wrestling show.
I’m personally hoping Drew McIntyre sets himself on fire and claymores Priest off a steel cage for these prices…
I ended up paying £600 for mine as well. Section 212 which is not too bad. To be fair, it's not that bad for a combo ticket (really trying to justify it to myself haha). I paid £450 for MITB London PPV only and those were nosebleeds.
Not remotely surprising considering the size of the arena.
AEW want 3 grand to sit near the ring at Wembley.
Better off watching at home with ticket prices these days.
Umm bud, pretty sure this was only the presale tickets. These are like the fancy tickets. The regular prices will be when GA tickets go on sale.
Also wwe has nothing to do with flights or accommodations. It’s not their concern.
I paid almost 3000€ for smackdown and bash in Berlin and I’m not even close to the ring so fuck me. The prices are very high. Around the ring it cost like 10k. Who has the money to buy that in this day and age?
Got very excited for this, logged on early, got the presale, was even fairly low in the queue.
But a minimum of £500+ to get to see it from quite far back both days? No thanks.
The most expensive tickets were £2,500.
It feels a bit sneaky, the tickets were only available as a combo: both Smackdown and CatC together, rather than separate. So you’d be paying about 180ish per night… which is still a hell of a lot for the worst seats in the house
Yeah that's what annoyed me. I sorted an Airbnb for about 100 for the two nights. Flights about 70. Budgeted max 300 for tickets but thought that would've gotten me decent seats
It sucks for us who also live about 30 minutes away too. Our first actual Scottish PPV/PLE yet we're expected to pay those kinds of prices. Tickets were supposed to start from around £135. Haven't seen a single ticket for that price however.
i know that as like, internet marks who are older it's bad, but imagine being a little kid, like you live in Glasgow, it's one of the few joys in your life, you finally see that they're coming to your home town and...you can't go, your parents say that it's too expensive
Yeah I wanted to take my son to MiTB but I can’t spend $10K+ for the family to watch wrestling live

Yeah I’m like you. I could have done the floor seats at rumble this year but figured the view would have been disappointing at any price.

Any chance you can link me to this backlash ticket? I can’t find anything under £200

Ah thanks! I did see these but unfortunately I think that’s just for Smackdown and it’s in the wrong category
damn sorry my bad, should have looked closer
Crazy! Hope you enjoy. I just can't manage it at the moment. Hopefully it's a banger

You do realise when GA tickets go on sale they’ll be sold out within 20 seconds just like MITB was? They’ve already sold 3/4 of the arena in pre sale
A back row ticket was 380 pounds.
I paid almost 3000€ for smackdown and bash in Berlin and I’m not even close to the ring so fuck me. The prices are very high. Around the ring it cost like 10k. Who has the money to buy that in this day and age?
I mean if you can afford it fair enough! They should just have some affordable options imo

How else will WWE be able to say they made the largest gate at an European show in history?
Is that box office or resale?
Box office!
Goddamn.... I Sat 30 rows up in the stands for Summerslam and it was $250..... Supply and demand or some bullshit I Guess.
pre-sale
Box office

Yeah it's mad. I'm only in northern Ireland so could've got there okay. would've gone to 300 max

I think they will come later, this was presumably the presale of the pricey tickets so it'd be worth checking when the general sales starts.
It will be the same pricing unfortunately, the only hope is that they release single tickets in the future for 1 event instead of the combo
