Just one week out from WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, WWE’s ticket situation has taken a sharp turn—and it’s looking a lot better than it did just a few weeks ago.
WrestleTix dropped a new update on April 12, confirming that both nights of WrestleMania have officially entered Configuration Two at Allegiant Stadium. That means WWE has expanded its setup to allow for more fans, and it’s working—especially for Night Two.
For WrestleMania Sunday on April 20, WWE has distributed 52,427 tickets with only 1,942 still available. The current setup now allows for 54,595 seats, meaning Night Two is sitting within striking distance of a full secondary configuration sellout.
On the Saturday side, 50,116 tickets have been distributed, with 4,253 still up for grabs. WWE also has 226 combo tickets still available, and the Saturday setup has also increased to 54,595. That’s a jump of 1,495 tickets in just one week.
WrestleTix noted that WWE has “added seats in the upper decks behind the staging area,” bringing the total number of seats on the map to a whopping 68,143. For Sunday’s show, prices currently range from $200 to $1,136. For Saturday, seats run between $160 and $941.
These updates come after weeks of speculation and heat on WWE’s pricing strategy. Billi Bhatti of The Dirty Sheets Wrestling Informer podcast previously claimed WWE was stalling: “Since the Royal Rumble, I can report that WWE has sold fewer than 500 additional tickets.” But those numbers have clearly changed in the last stretch before showtime.
Bhatti also addressed how WWE manages expectations around sellouts: “These reports stating that 90% of the tickets are sold for WrestleMania are incorrect… You begin with Configuration Number One, then move onto Configuration Number Two, and if it’s an absolutely sold-out, high-demand event, they move onto Configuration Number Three.”
As of this week, Night Two has moved well beyond Configuration One’s 51,481 cap. WWE hasn’t hit the 71,250 needed for the full-stadium Configuration Three just yet, but the company’s recent seat additions show they’re ready to push the limit if demand stays hot.
And while ticket pricing remains a topic of debate, Bhatti claimed WWE is more focused on optics and revenue: “WWE has openly admitted they are overpricing tickets, constantly telling fans on every show that they’re ‘breaking records’ by charging higher prices rather than opening up more seats.”
Whether WWE drops prices in the final stretch or not, one thing’s clear—momentum is finally on their side, at least for Night Two.
