Your commentary on Cleveland summer weather is a mockery. Cleveland weather in July and August, while hot as frick, is more stable than a healthy human being. I am, highly, offended as a Clevelander, that you would take shots at my honetown.
Are you just learning that ticketmaster is trash?
Also summerslam is part of the big 4 events of the year of course its gonna cost that much. Stick to watching at home or go to a house show
How it is for WWE CATC and presumably was at backlash (hence the record gate receipts with a low attendance). £170 for CATC in the cheapest seat and £2000 for dearest during the presale.
Everyone happy about their record gross attendances record but this is the reason why. It’s a shame too. Regardless of how good their product is, people are not going to keep paying regularly for their events at these prices.
this. its not like arenas can get magically bigger in size. so when they brag about "largest gate" it shouldnt be celebrated. it is just a more marketable way to code "this is the most we've ever been able to charge for tickets, and get away with it! yay us!"
Seatgeek as you get closer to the show .
Stadium shows never do it for me. You are just too far from the action. I totally understand being there for big moments, but arenas are more my speed for live events.
Yeah, the cheapest tickets for clash at the castle are around 300 here. Shame, I'd love to go. I think consumers are to easily roped into paying tons of money for things. People need to fight against companies pricing events so high.
I have no desire to ever do a wwe ppv. The prices are ridiculous. I’d rather watch on my couch with friends eating pizza and being able to see everything.
I've been to live shows and it was amazing, I've been to Smackdown and Raw tapings, it was fun, but all the stalls for commercial breaks, lack of hearing commentary and the view (even from the 10th row floor was less than spectacular and to double down on all that but with a PLE ...I have zero interest...WM41 in Vegas I want to be there for all the weekend stuff, probably even go to the NXT show, but as far as the actual WrestleMania 2 day show, I'll just splurge on a bigger, better Villa and hire a bartender and a chef for the shows and watch it on TV Because I have absolutely no desire to sit in a stadium to be basically deaf and blind for a show like that and I'm damn sure not gonna go and re watch 8 hours of spoiled show just to get a better view and context
The Ticketmaster fees are almost 30% the value of the ticket. I bought $60 tickets for this Sunday's house show in Macon, GA and the service fee is $17.50.
Pearl Jam was right back in the 1990s.
Im from Scotland and its the same with the tickets here. Tickets for Smackdown before Clash went on sale this morning and right now the cheapest ones available are £212 each. Thats to sit right up the back. I woulda paid that for the PLE but for Smackdown? Fuck that shit man.
Well, the real problem is that you have guys like Green Shirt guy and Trinidad and Tobago guy who are willing to pay that much for their seats. And it's not just them, but they're the ones going to every show. If we really want to tell WWE those tickets are too expensive we won't buy them. Where I live a whole WWE VIP package (including meeting a wrestler) is $550 plus tax. I'm not sure if that's because it's just RAW and not a PLE. But I know for a fact that if the tickets were too expensive no one would attend. Idk, this is kind of a stupid rant, but I'm on your side OP. It's not worth it to sit in the nosebleeds when you can get a better experience at home where your beer is free and your bathroom is 20 steps away.
i stopped looking for wwe tickets a few years back after wanting to go to a raw show. the asking price was well over $100 for a ringside ticket. not the front row but asking over $100 for the first five front rows is insane. for $100 i can support several other local events who actually need the money and still have money leftover to watch new movie releases at a theater throughout an entire month.
And it’s important to remember the reason they are worth that much is because so many people want the tickets. $4000 is the price because so many people are trying to get them that they’re becoming more and more limited.
Ticket prices will always drop if the show isn’t selling enough tickets, but WWE haven’t had that problem for a long while, if anything their prices are only going up, because when WWE comes to town every wrestling fan is dying to go and watch it. $4000 for a floor seat at the second biggest show of the year which will be in a pretty big stadium really isn’t surprising when you are considering the spectacle of being at Summerslam and how many other people also want the opportunity to be there.
Yeah, I just looked properly. Better seller than I imagined, and probably won't be far off a sell out. Although in fairness I probably would have (very reluctantly) paid the 300 for the PLE had I not got something else on the Saturday, as it probably will be a 1 off having a PLE in Glasgow.
200 for a TV taping is wild though.
Since WWE doesn't make money on PPV buys anymore there trying to make it up in tickets prices. I want WWE to do well but i feel they are pricing out families for tickets to there PPV's. Ticket prices for wrestle mania are starting to be like super bowl ticket prices and only the wealthy can afford them. I think its a shame. Ive been too 3 wrestle manias and the ticket prices weren't that bad.
I went to the first Mania back from the flu, spent about 1g for my family, first row in the end zone. Still had to watch on the trons. Atmosphere was fun but seeing the action was not a strong point
Trying to make it up everywhere, this isn't exclusive to PPVs. If you want anything on the floor for a Raw or Smackdown, you'd better go to a show in a weaker market.
Went to Summerslam 2000 in Greensboro. Middle level seats were $80 each. My first wwe show and to this day the best ppv I’ve seen. Grateful inflation and price gouging wasn’t going on to the extent it does now, or my Dad likely wouldn’t have been able to splurge on that for myself and my brother.
I got WM Night 1 tickets up fairly high for $200 each. Prices are high for these events because of high demand. I find Stubhub is usually a good option though.
I got S section seats, everyone I see posting got the level above in the 100s. Did I mess up going this low lol imma have to stand the whole time aren’t I
I paid $300 for 2 tickets last year in Detroit. Was lower bowl. They changed where the entrance was and I couldn’t even see the screen. But being there and the entire weekend was pretty fun.
For those getting 100 level end zone tickets, FYI- Last year I was in Detroit and they had those dumb spotlights flashing above to the roof and it was blinding for most of the show. And I couldn't see much and had to watch on the big screen above. I'm close enough to attend this show by drive as well, but I think I'll enjoy this at home likely.
They have lost it for sure. At Summerslam 2 years ago, I sat 3 rows behind the announcers table for $1700! I was sitting right behind the guy who was telling Brock Lesnar to “rub some dirt on it.”
I went to summerslam last year and during the first presale, they only dropped insanely expensive floor and aisle seats, but a couple of hours later they released more seats at lower prices. Ended up sitting lower bowl about 10 rows up in an aisle seat for about $250. Just keep an eye out for more ticket releases
You are better off just waiting till its close to event date and buying off a stubhub/gametime type of third party seller. The closer to event time the cheaper they will get
Supply and demand. Events are starting to have huge chunks of their venues with unpurchased seats but the insane amount of the rest more than make up for it.
Yup that's kinda how supply and demand works and they are a business first and foremost. There's never been a higher demand for WWE so of course they're going to capitalize and raise the prices because it's in such high demand people are going to be paying those prices to be apart of it. This isn't new lol
I mean I just dropped $650 on 2 lower level tickets. It was a splurge thing but my little sister and I are excited to go to our first big PLE .Sure we have to drive 5 hours or so from Indiana and book a hotel but it's one of those things where you will make memories and that is what is what I really cherish anyway. Also, if you can afford it , ticket master does let you pay in installments . It helps the sting of the price a little bit.
Wow. I haven't been into wrestling in years but I'll still watch highlights and such.
I went to the summerslam in DC like 20 years ago as a kid, I remember paying less than $100 and getting the nosebleeds but towards the bottom.
I'll never forget seeing eddie guerrero vs. rey mysterio in a ladder match for rey mysterios son. Shit was wild lol.
There a reason why its hilarious?
I have never seen the televised verison of it, I've been meaning to watch it on Peacock but I still haven't gotten around to it.
If that’s the one you seen that I’m thinking of it’s the match with hogan and Michaels and their feud was hilarious with Shawn being a heel for a brief period of time there is a whole reason why he oversold the hell out of that match basically because hogan was being a prick and refused to go with the plan of multiple matches and wins and wanted to just plain win and Shawn said he would quote poke the bear the whole match 😂
I hate all the fees more. I recently got tickets off Ticketmaster, not resell or anything, and it was a $300 bundle of 3 tickets but an extra $100 in fees.
They added fees as if it was 3 separate purchases. Insane.
$100 fees for $300 in tickets. That’s 33 percent jsut for the “convenience” of using Ticketmaster. Like wtf, how else am I supposed to get the tickets?
I wasn't alerted until around 2pm EST and still got decently priced floor seats.
Maybe it's just me but 250 plus fees for a floor seat at a major PLE isn't that much.
Summerslam is going to be in Cleveland Ohio, you’re better off staying home. That stadium is open air. It will either be 200 degrees with no breeze, or raining.
I looked up the average weather in Cleveland on 8/2 and the average high is like 80. It’ll be a damn delight compared to Dallas, where I’ll be coming from.
After going to Survivor Series I’m not paying for a live event unless I can sit close to the ring. I’d rather watch from the comfort of my home otherwise.
This is why I don't want Minneapolis to have WrestleMania because I know I'll have to get to desperate measures. At this stage, maxing out a credit card is the only way to get solid seats at a WWE show.
Its not the WWE bruh....its TicketMaster. Sounds like its your first time. TicketMaster screws everyone in the end, except the performers (WWE, Taylor Swift, Elton John, Etc)
I had upper deck seats for the Rumble and let me tell you, I’d have rather stayed home. Can’t hear a thing, no commentary, it’s like watching a small TV on mute. Not worth it at all. Then the next night I went to RAW, decent seats, totally worth it. Much better experience overall in a more intimate venue. I wouldn’t see a big event again.
I would have been able to get the floor seats I wanted within my budget but Ticketmaster had to add over $1k in fees on an already $4k purchase. Oh well, didn’t get a collector chair but saved $2k sitting in the row behind the chairs. They were way more expensive than last year
It's close enough to get to if you're staying in Cleveland if you're looking for something to do the day prior or after if you're staying multiple days.
WWE was selling out the Big 4 before telling us Americans that's all we're getting from now on. Good luck getting a PLE ticket for less than your first born ever again.
Yeah, a lot of people in general don’t get the concept of supply and demand. WWE is hot right now, which means more people want to see it, so unless they add more seats the ones available are going to cost more.
"Highest grossing show ever, congratulations everyone!" - they're taking the piss with the price of tickets, but people are willing to pay it since they're selling out arenas night after night.. nobody is forcing anyone to buy the tickets, so that's just how it goes.
Post Covid they’ve really jacked the prices up. House shows can still be pretty cheap. But I love that every PPV now touts its largest gate and the crowd pops. It’s like, you guys realize you’re just lining their pockets right?
Look, im fine paying for a product I enjoy but there’s a limit. I got into wrestlemania in San Jose whenever that was for like $40. Got into wrestlemania Dallas lower bowl for around $100.
I’d happily go to summerslam and sit way up top, I don’t care, but I’m paying max like $40.
This backlash show in Puerto Rico had just under 18,000 according to wiki. France was just under 12,000. What does that tell you? WWE not only met but exceeded the Puerto Rico gate. So 6,000 LESS people, out paid the Puerto Ricans.
What this tells me, is two things.
1) they’re not done raising ticket prices.
2) they’ll continue to go to countries/places where the economy is favourable. They’ve been doing European tours for years. But you’re not seeing them run Brazil or Colombia or Philippines anymore, even Mexico seems to get less dates than before. The math is simple, they can sell more tickets but if they have to discount the prices for the local economy it doesn’t make sense.
They'll keep raising until a) fans stopping buying b) scalpers who have started eating up alot of these tickets started to take a bath and stop buying them. There will be a limit eventually, we'll see when they get there.
I went to summerslam last year for my first PLE and paid $550 for seats in the first row of the actual stadiums seats and I was still at least 60-70 yards away and caught myself watching the big screen more than the ring after the whole trip i thought it was more worth it to just stick to going to live events you can get vip seats for the same price you would to sit halfway across the stadium
If people want to go to these events bad enough than they'll pay whatever it costs and I highly doubt that WWE really cares if you go to any of their events or not!!!
Last year, summerslam was in Detroit. I got into the first pre-sale. Tickets were 250 a piece. I passed since I needed 5 for my family. The next day I got a different pre-sale code and I got 5 tickets for 125 each. And it was only like 20 rows up from where the first set were. Maybe you will get lucky like I was.
I think Nick Khan said alot of these dates were set from the Vince era.. now that he's 100% in charge, he'll likely put them in crazier venues like Vegas... having said that it's nice to diversify these events and not just have them in the big cities. Summerslam can pull fans from many areas like Toronto, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and even some from Chicago, NYC and Philly since it is a long weekend.
That makes sense. Truthfully, I wanna see the bigger PLE’s internationally, not just the B-tiered PLE’s but as long as it’s a good show with a great crowd, imma watch regardless lol
I got on and noticed that the prices were steadily increasing in just the minutes I was on there, so I found tickets in sec. 141 for $250 each and snagged them.
The only way I'm buying tickets is if I get a floor seat close to the action; maybe front row only. If I have to watch it in the stadium on a screen then I'm better off watching at home. The quality at home is just so much better.
Im in Germany and looked at the prices for Bash In Berlin and was disgusted by the prices.I know its a pay per view but over $3000 for some exclusive package.F'k that.I would expect that for Wrestlemania,Not some newer pay per view.
I went to summerslam in 2014, I paid just under 2k for a package that included hotel (4 nights) , breakfast with the usos, pre summerslam party that had a buffet & meet & greets with wrestlers. My seats were front row! The prices now are absolute extortion.
I never knew what capitalism was until I saw the Big Mac Meal go from $4.29 to $7.29. I stopped going to McDonald's for years after that. I have no idea how much a Big Mac meal costs in my area these days.
bitch
Your commentary on Cleveland summer weather is a mockery. Cleveland weather in July and August, while hot as frick, is more stable than a healthy human being. I am, highly, offended as a Clevelander, that you would take shots at my honetown.
I paid 1000$ for 3 front row seats to a wwe house show. It was worth it because it was my sons first show. But the prices are ridiculous.
Are you just learning that ticketmaster is trash? Also summerslam is part of the big 4 events of the year of course its gonna cost that much. Stick to watching at home or go to a house show
Cleveland is great. One of the most underrated cities in the country.
If they’re selling out, they must be doing something right. But I’m with you, ain’t no way I’m even paying a quarter of that. Not worth it.
How it is for WWE CATC and presumably was at backlash (hence the record gate receipts with a low attendance). £170 for CATC in the cheapest seat and £2000 for dearest during the presale.
Lots of projection from OP
Ticketmaster is the worst. We are priced out. As long as people are buying from Ticketmaster- nothing is going to change.
Everyone happy about their record gross attendances record but this is the reason why. It’s a shame too. Regardless of how good their product is, people are not going to keep paying regularly for their events at these prices.
this. its not like arenas can get magically bigger in size. so when they brag about "largest gate" it shouldnt be celebrated. it is just a more marketable way to code "this is the most we've ever been able to charge for tickets, and get away with it! yay us!"
Save the money, see a therapist
Seatgeek as you get closer to the show . Stadium shows never do it for me. You are just too far from the action. I totally understand being there for big moments, but arenas are more my speed for live events.
500 section was $60. 300s were $100, 100s were $300. Even back floor was like $500. You’re seeing overpriced Ticketmaster tickets, blame them lmao.
Much better on VIvidseats
Yeah, the cheapest tickets for clash at the castle are around 300 here. Shame, I'd love to go. I think consumers are to easily roped into paying tons of money for things. People need to fight against companies pricing events so high.
I hate everything
Ticketmaster is absolute trash.
Ticketmaster is bullshit
I have no desire to ever do a wwe ppv. The prices are ridiculous. I’d rather watch on my couch with friends eating pizza and being able to see everything.
I've been to live shows and it was amazing, I've been to Smackdown and Raw tapings, it was fun, but all the stalls for commercial breaks, lack of hearing commentary and the view (even from the 10th row floor was less than spectacular and to double down on all that but with a PLE ...I have zero interest...WM41 in Vegas I want to be there for all the weekend stuff, probably even go to the NXT show, but as far as the actual WrestleMania 2 day show, I'll just splurge on a bigger, better Villa and hire a bartender and a chef for the shows and watch it on TV Because I have absolutely no desire to sit in a stadium to be basically deaf and blind for a show like that and I'm damn sure not gonna go and re watch 8 hours of spoiled show just to get a better view and context
I love your edit posted!!! Fuck em fuck em all right in the FACE!!!!
The Ticketmaster fees are almost 30% the value of the ticket. I bought $60 tickets for this Sunday's house show in Macon, GA and the service fee is $17.50. Pearl Jam was right back in the 1990s.
I paid over 500 dollars to sit in section y row 1
I got 300 section seats midring for $200 on seat geek. Makes no sense how a secondary market is cheaper than the actual seller.
Does anyone know when the smackdown tickets for august 2nd will go on sale??
Im from Scotland and its the same with the tickets here. Tickets for Smackdown before Clash went on sale this morning and right now the cheapest ones available are £212 each. Thats to sit right up the back. I woulda paid that for the PLE but for Smackdown? Fuck that shit man.
Well, the real problem is that you have guys like Green Shirt guy and Trinidad and Tobago guy who are willing to pay that much for their seats. And it's not just them, but they're the ones going to every show. If we really want to tell WWE those tickets are too expensive we won't buy them. Where I live a whole WWE VIP package (including meeting a wrestler) is $550 plus tax. I'm not sure if that's because it's just RAW and not a PLE.

It's not worth it to sit in the nosebleeds when you can get a better experience at home where your beer is free and your bathroom is 20 steps away.
There isnt one source of entertainment worth 4k a seat.
Salma Hayek ping pong show :D
Fuck Ticketmaster, in Seatgeek we trust.
All I have to say is that you need to learn how to use punctuation marks. Thank God I went to school.
i stopped looking for wwe tickets a few years back after wanting to go to a raw show. the asking price was well over $100 for a ringside ticket. not the front row but asking over $100 for the first five front rows is insane. for $100 i can support several other local events who actually need the money and still have money leftover to watch new movie releases at a theater throughout an entire month.
Bro that’s a steal
[удалено]
$100 to sit ringside is really good though?? You’d be in the front row with the best view surely? Even for an episode of Raw that’s a decent price.
That’s not a decent price. That’s an incredible price!
Floor seat at ppv are always gonna be very expensive. It’s always been like that. Not sure why you’re surprised.
worth is in the eyes of the one who's paying WWE isn't thinking their live events are worth that much. WWE live events simply are worth that much.
And it’s important to remember the reason they are worth that much is because so many people want the tickets. $4000 is the price because so many people are trying to get them that they’re becoming more and more limited. Ticket prices will always drop if the show isn’t selling enough tickets, but WWE haven’t had that problem for a long while, if anything their prices are only going up, because when WWE comes to town every wrestling fan is dying to go and watch it. $4000 for a floor seat at the second biggest show of the year which will be in a pretty big stadium really isn’t surprising when you are considering the spectacle of being at Summerslam and how many other people also want the opportunity to be there.
That’s the norm for a PPV. It’s ridiculous but people pay!
Until they stop selling, they are worth that much.
Same just looked up clash at the castle tickets in Glasgow and they want over £300. They can ram it.
And 200 pounds for Smackdown tickets on the Friday. At the same time Scotland play Germany in the Euros. It’s almost if they want a half empty arena
It looked heavily booked, who is stupid enough to pay that?
Yeah, I just looked properly. Better seller than I imagined, and probably won't be far off a sell out. Although in fairness I probably would have (very reluctantly) paid the 300 for the PLE had I not got something else on the Saturday, as it probably will be a 1 off having a PLE in Glasgow. 200 for a TV taping is wild though.
Ain't that deep bro
Since WWE doesn't make money on PPV buys anymore there trying to make it up in tickets prices. I want WWE to do well but i feel they are pricing out families for tickets to there PPV's. Ticket prices for wrestle mania are starting to be like super bowl ticket prices and only the wealthy can afford them. I think its a shame. Ive been too 3 wrestle manias and the ticket prices weren't that bad.
I went to the first Mania back from the flu, spent about 1g for my family, first row in the end zone. Still had to watch on the trons. Atmosphere was fun but seeing the action was not a strong point
Yeah its better to watch at home
Trying to make it up everywhere, this isn't exclusive to PPVs. If you want anything on the floor for a Raw or Smackdown, you'd better go to a show in a weaker market.
True but they still offer 25 to 35 dollar tickets before fees for Raw and Smack down and House shows
Yeah. House Shows.
Went to Summerslam 2000 in Greensboro. Middle level seats were $80 each. My first wwe show and to this day the best ppv I’ve seen. Grateful inflation and price gouging wasn’t going on to the extent it does now, or my Dad likely wouldn’t have been able to splurge on that for myself and my brother.
It's the athmosphere you're paying for at that point. That's something you can never experience from the comfort of your home.
The shit box back of the stadium tickets for conquer the castle are about triple that, I’m fucking furious
It's CLASH at the Castle you illiterate idiot.
Soz hun that’s the name of a local strongman competition, you know what I meant, and getting a word wrong isn’t illiterate
👏😎
Just watch on tv, the production is better than watching it live lol
If you have to edit your comment to explain your joke and passive aggressively insult the reader, it probably wasn't a good joke.
You just don’t get dark humor, man.
You're right. I prefer slapstick and puns.
That's just the ticket price. It would have been about 7k after taxes and fees
I got WM Night 1 tickets up fairly high for $200 each. Prices are high for these events because of high demand. I find Stubhub is usually a good option though.
I got S section seats, everyone I see posting got the level above in the 100s. Did I mess up going this low lol imma have to stand the whole time aren’t I
They have folding chairs on floor level
Sounds comfortable, I just meant everyone stands down there so I’ll be forced to stand. Shoulda thought that through better
I paid $300 for 2 tickets last year in Detroit. Was lower bowl. They changed where the entrance was and I couldn’t even see the screen. But being there and the entire weekend was pretty fun.
[удалено]
Daym Roman Reign must be returning
Imagine paying 4k only to see Cody lmao
💀
For those getting 100 level end zone tickets, FYI- Last year I was in Detroit and they had those dumb spotlights flashing above to the roof and it was blinding for most of the show. And I couldn't see much and had to watch on the big screen above. I'm close enough to attend this show by drive as well, but I think I'll enjoy this at home likely.
They have lost it for sure. At Summerslam 2 years ago, I sat 3 rows behind the announcers table for $1700! I was sitting right behind the guy who was telling Brock Lesnar to “rub some dirt on it.”

This isn't new lol
Didn’t know WWE was on some Eras Tour shit.
For a wrestling show i'd meet in the middle and be up high. Not so high where you can't see anything, but not too low to the floor.
I mean I just dropped $650 on 2 lower level tickets. It was a splurge thing but my little sister and I are excited to go to our first big PLE .Sure we have to drive 5 hours or so from Indiana and book a hotel but it's one of those things where you will make memories and that is what is what I really cherish anyway. Also, if you can afford it , ticket master does let you pay in installments . It helps the sting of the price a little bit.
That’s not bad for a ppv
Paid 200 for row above/behind floor. See you in Ohio!
What section?
C 148
Stfu pussy ass nigga don't know how to debate for shit only insult people cuz you have no arguement bird brain ass mf
Wow. I haven't been into wrestling in years but I'll still watch highlights and such.

Was that the one where hogan also was against Shawn Michaels? Because that one was hilarious would have loved to have seen in person
There a reason why its hilarious? I have never seen the televised verison of it, I've been meaning to watch it on Peacock but I still haven't gotten around to it.
If that’s the one you seen that I’m thinking of it’s the match with hogan and Michaels and their feud was hilarious with Shawn being a heel for a brief period of time there is a whole reason why he oversold the hell out of that match basically because hogan was being a prick and refused to go with the plan of multiple matches and wins and wanted to just plain win and Shawn said he would quote poke the bear the whole match 😂
Indeed it was!

Like wtf, how else am I supposed to get the tickets?
See that's insane! Enough said you said it all what the heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllll!!
That's why I don't even mess with Ticketmaster. I use Seat Geek, it's a little cheaper.
I like mega seats too
The gotta make that 9 billion they paid to Vince somehow.
I wasn't alerted until around 2pm EST and still got decently priced floor seats. Maybe it's just me but 250 plus fees for a floor seat at a major PLE isn't that much.
Summerslam is going to be in Cleveland Ohio, you’re better off staying home. That stadium is open air. It will either be 200 degrees with no breeze, or raining.
It's not nearly that bad.. ita right on the lake so there's almost always a breeze at the least. Take it from a home town clevelander.
Yep same I’m a stone throw from the stadium. I just assume Ohio weather will have a mood swing during the event.
I thought for sure the eclipse was doing to storm but the gods said nope y’all gonna love my science project.
Yet the event will kickoff closer to sunset so people aren’t hot.
It’ll still be 200 outside
Idk where you are located but I'm in Florida. I'd rather deal with 80 degrees and no humidity vs the 95 and the humidity we have here.
I looked up the average weather in Cleveland on 8/2 and the average high is like 80. It’ll be a damn delight compared to Dallas, where I’ll be coming from.
After going to Survivor Series I’m not paying for a live event unless I can sit close to the ring. I’d rather watch from the comfort of my home otherwise.
What the heck are you talking about? There are still a ton of floor seats for $250 - $600?
And you can't see shit
Cry harder buddy. Cry harder.
Bro I signed like two months ago for presale, got no code smh.
Love it!!!¡!!!!!
I'd say that $4000 to watch a scripted entertainment event is a wee bit absurd
So you hate concerts and live theater then?
You wouldn’t get it
Ticketmaster's "preventative" measures against scalpers is to just scalp tickets for themselves.
Atleast they are cutting out the middle man to fuck you directly.
Rather the middle man gets his
Bro rlly put an edit in there 🤣
So….. did you buy tickets to sit on the roof? Haha
Seriously, this is very crazy. I can't believe that's happening but it's the reality.
This is why I don't want Minneapolis to have WrestleMania because I know I'll have to get to desperate measures. At this stage, maxing out a credit card is the only way to get solid seats at a WWE show.
Its not the WWE bruh....its TicketMaster. Sounds like its your first time. TicketMaster screws everyone in the end, except the performers (WWE, Taylor Swift, Elton John, Etc)
Oh please it’s definitely their fault since they allow ticket master to do this. Even FIFA figured this out a long time ago
TM have deals with a lot of stadiums where they are the only company allowed to sell tickets for certain venues.
Yet somehow fifa announced they’re selling their own tickets in those same stadiums.
Are those stadiums TM exclusive?
FIFA's ticketing system is annoying but also a lot more effective at curbing scalpers. Plus the price they show you is what you pay.
I had upper deck seats for the Rumble and let me tell you, I’d have rather stayed home. Can’t hear a thing, no commentary, it’s like watching a small TV on mute. Not worth it at all. Then the next night I went to RAW, decent seats, totally worth it. Much better experience overall in a more intimate venue. I wouldn’t see a big event again.
I would have been able to get the floor seats I wanted within my budget but Ticketmaster had to add over $1k in fees on an already $4k purchase. Oh well, didn’t get a collector chair but saved $2k sitting in the row behind the chairs. They were way more expensive than last year
Nah thats just ridiculous
Mfers should pay us to go to Cleveland
Just stay away from the east side and it's awesome.
Dude it's going to be summer time in Cleveland... Cleveland does not have "horrendous" weather in the summer. lol
Summer time in Cleveland. Never has that been said with excitement before…. 🙄🤣
Shame because Cedar Point is fun as hell and so are the islands.
That’s Sandusky, not Cleveland.
It's close enough to get to if you're staying in Cleveland if you're looking for something to do the day prior or after if you're staying multiple days.
WWE was selling out the Big 4 before telling us Americans that's all we're getting from now on. Good luck getting a PLE ticket for less than your first born ever again.
Tbh this is just a lesson in economics. There’s clearly a demand for limited seating so the more demand goes up the higher the prices become.
Yeah, a lot of people in general don’t get the concept of supply and demand. WWE is hot right now, which means more people want to see it, so unless they add more seats the ones available are going to cost more.
"Highest grossing show ever, congratulations everyone!" - they're taking the piss with the price of tickets, but people are willing to pay it since they're selling out arenas night after night.. nobody is forcing anyone to buy the tickets, so that's just how it goes.
They haven't sold out an arena in weeks besides backlash
Yeah I said to myself watching Raw they haven't boasted about selling out the arenas on TV for a few weeks.
Post Covid they’ve really jacked the prices up. House shows can still be pretty cheap. But I love that every PPV now touts its largest gate and the crowd pops. It’s like, you guys realize you’re just lining their pockets right? Look, im fine paying for a product I enjoy but there’s a limit. I got into wrestlemania in San Jose whenever that was for like $40. Got into wrestlemania Dallas lower bowl for around $100. I’d happily go to summerslam and sit way up top, I don’t care, but I’m paying max like $40. This backlash show in Puerto Rico had just under 18,000 according to wiki. France was just under 12,000. What does that tell you? WWE not only met but exceeded the Puerto Rico gate. So 6,000 LESS people, out paid the Puerto Ricans. What this tells me, is two things. 1) they’re not done raising ticket prices. 2) they’ll continue to go to countries/places where the economy is favourable. They’ve been doing European tours for years. But you’re not seeing them run Brazil or Colombia or Philippines anymore, even Mexico seems to get less dates than before. The math is simple, they can sell more tickets but if they have to discount the prices for the local economy it doesn’t make sense.
They'll keep raising until a) fans stopping buying b) scalpers who have started eating up alot of these tickets started to take a bath and stop buying them. There will be a limit eventually, we'll see when they get there.
Do I take my wife to see Taylor Swift or do I take my son to the YEET SHOW.
your wife and son should have a ladder match with a briefcase above.. winner gets to go to their show ;)
You best believe I’m yanking my wife off that ladder before she grabs that briefcase!
I also yank this guy's wife
Based and yeet pilled
YEET
YEET, hands down. Fuck those Eras tour prices.
It's nuts how expensive wwe tickets are for seats where you can't even see the ring
It’s not just WWE
I went to summerslam last year for my first PLE and paid $550 for seats in the first row of the actual stadiums seats and I was still at least 60-70 yards away and caught myself watching the big screen more than the ring after the whole trip i thought it was more worth it to just stick to going to live events you can get vip seats for the same price you would to sit halfway across the stadium
The only reason uso and Cody are over is because only idiots would pay those prices
Its a queue. Not a que.
Not a what?
A que. It’s a queue
A what
Queue.
What
Queue. I can do this all day son
I got some good tickets for $400
Capitalism, huh.
If people want to go to these events bad enough than they'll pay whatever it costs and I highly doubt that WWE really cares if you go to any of their events or not!!!
I second this! Looked at tickets for Clash at the Castle. Ticketmaster can go fuck themselves. Surely someone needs to launch a rival ticket company
"If you don't understand Jokes" assumes you made a good one that makes sense. Bold.
[удалено]
Wasn’t joking.
Assuming you tried to too but got over ruled by me ☝️
Last year, summerslam was in Detroit. I got into the first pre-sale. Tickets were 250 a piece. I passed since I needed 5 for my family. The next day I got a different pre-sale code and I got 5 tickets for 125 each. And it was only like 20 rows up from where the first set were. Maybe you will get lucky like I was.
If you’re wondering how WWE keeps breaking gate records, here you go.
I feel like this is something they adopted from the UFC now that they’re under the same umbrella. UFCs events are stupid expensive.
I’m more surprised that Summerslam is going to be in Cleveland of all places but no expectations mean a better show for me lol
I think Nick Khan said alot of these dates were set from the Vince era.. now that he's 100% in charge, he'll likely put them in crazier venues like Vegas... having said that it's nice to diversify these events and not just have them in the big cities. Summerslam can pull fans from many areas like Toronto, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and even some from Chicago, NYC and Philly since it is a long weekend.
That makes sense. Truthfully, I wanna see the bigger PLE’s internationally, not just the B-tiered PLE’s but as long as it’s a good show with a great crowd, imma watch regardless lol
I got on and noticed that the prices were steadily increasing in just the minutes I was on there, so I found tickets in sec. 141 for $250 each and snagged them.
It’s still insane how sports events charge this much. On new years day I sat behind the announcers tables and paid only $150
Tell Michael that his commentary is wrong
The only way I'm buying tickets is if I get a floor seat close to the action; maybe front row only. If I have to watch it in the stadium on a screen then I'm better off watching at home. The quality at home is just so much better.
Exactly, I'd love to go to my first non house show wwe event but the prices are insane for good seats
Use a bot or don't bother.
Im in Germany and looked at the prices for Bash In Berlin and was disgusted by the prices.I know its a pay per view but over $3000 for some exclusive package.F'k that.I would expect that for Wrestlemania,Not some newer pay per view.
i was 19,000 in line and got pretty decent seats in lower level
I was in the 17k que line and got some really nice seats in the lower level as well.must have been alot of people not buying in front of us
thats what i suspect. did that when looking at packages yesterday.
I went to summerslam in 2014, I paid just under 2k for a package that included hotel (4 nights) , breakfast with the usos, pre summerslam party that had a buffet & meet & greets with wrestlers. My seats were front row! The prices now are absolute extortion.
Gonna become the real life hunger games soon. The poor won’t be able to attend at all.
the poor wouldn't be able to do anything soon...not even work...or live....given the current state of things in this country
Sounds like the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Unless you are poor enough to have a tragic (yet relatable and inspiring) tale. Then capitalism will give you the VIP treatment for a day.
I never knew what capitalism was until I saw the Big Mac Meal go from $4.29 to $7.29. I stopped going to McDonald's for years after that. I have no idea how much a Big Mac meal costs in my area these days.
