WWE WrestleMania 41 Ticket Sales Grow But Still Trail WrestleMania 40’s Numbers

With WrestleMania 41 around the corner, WWE is filling more seats—but the dream of topping last year’s numbers might not become reality.

Despite a recent Wrestling Observer Newsletter claim that WWE is struggling, the narrative doesn’t match what’s really happening. Dave Meltzer reported the company had only sold “48,621 tickets for Night One and 51,044 tickets for Night Two,” and framed that as a concern—suggesting WWE needed to sell 60,000 per night to hit their goal.

That’s not exactly how it works.

According to WrestleTix, WWE has already moved into Configuration Two at Allegiant Stadium, bumping seating capacity to 54,595 per night. As of April 12, Night Two is sitting at 52,427 tickets distributed, with just 1,942 left. Night One has distributed 50,116 tickets, with 4,253 still available. Additional seats were opened in the upper decks, putting the total number of seats on the map at 68,143.

So yes, ticket sales have picked up—but WWE likely won’t be able to match the full-scale sellout success of WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. Last year, WWE sold 67,303 tickets for Night One and 67,543 tickets for Night Two, bringing the total to 134,846 tickets across both nights. In comparison, WrestleMania 41 currently sits at 102,543 tickets distributed between both nights—a gap of over 32,000 tickets with just days to go.

Internally, WWE is still aiming for Configuration Three, which would raise capacity to 71,250 per night. But unless there’s a major final-week surge, that might not happen this year. In these situations, WWE has been known to make last-minute adjustments—lowering prices or offering limited-time deals to get as close to those targets as possible.

It’s important to note WWE’s current strategy isn’t built around sheer volume. They’ve publicly admitted to pricing seats higher this year in pursuit of record-setting revenue rather than filling every section. That gamble is working to an extent—especially with Night Two—but it may not carry them across the finish line like it did in 2024.
