WrestleMania 41: The most expensive WWE event ever in history
WrestleMania 41 tickets went on pre-sale earlier today to extravagant prices, making this WrestleMania the most-expensive event ever in WWE history.
Service fees for each ticket were the amount of a regular ticket, with well over $300 in fees for regular tickets. There was a service fee, facility charge, order processing fee, and the Las Vegas Live Entertainment Tax, which is another 9% of the total price.
Tickets in the rafters were going for $1,000 each, something which drew ire from fans.
“For two nosebleed 2-day tickets for WrestleMania. This is insane,” said one user on X, showing a total of $2,344.74. That included $447.50 in service fees and $156.24 in taxes.
“Ticket fees really should not be the amount of another ticket,” said another one, with $1,200 per ticket amounting to $3,261.14 including taxes for two. $839 of that amount were all taxes and fees.
“Worse seats than last year that I paid $1500 total last year,” said another. “The @wwe is greedy.”
A photo posted on X showed six tickets for a total of $8,964.92, with $2,370 of which were taxes and fees.
Tickets went on pre-sale at 1PM ET using the code MANIA on Ticketmaster.com.

HAHA….people saying WWE is greedy? Since when did WWE control the fees and taxes charged by Las Vegas? Haha…..and Wrestlemania is a 2 day event now….if you want to see both days, then yes you should expect to pay good money for it.
This isn’t bread or water. No one is forcing anyone to buy tickets. Entertainment is overpriced because people are willing to overpay, it’s simple math.
Sorry but anything over $500 is ridiculous. I’ll read about it later and maybe see a few seconds of video.
