WWE is currently on a hot streak, which is why business is truly booming for them since they are able to sell out every single live show and Premium Live Event. However, there has been a lot of criticism when it comes to the ticket prices for the events and now Eric Bischoff has defended the overpriced tickets for WWE events.
While speaking on the 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff was asked whether WWE’s high prices were shortsighted and if the company had priced itself out of the market with its overpriced tickets.
Bischoff responded by saying that as long as WWE continues to sell tickets, they haven’t priced themselves out of the market and haven’t made things too expensive. He made it clear that if people are willing to pay, then the prices are not a problem.
“Good for them! Here’s when you know you’ve priced yourself out of the market—when you stop selling tickets. There it is. Come on now. I mean, the answer to the question is so easy. People keep buying tickets.”
Some WWE experiences cost a lot of money. Having lunch with John Cena at WrestleMania costs $25,000. Getting Steve Austin to sign a piece of paper with “Stone Cold Steve Austin” on it costs $800.
Sharing a beer with Mickie James and Austin Theory costs $88,000. A photo with Lex Luger and Triple H together is $8,500, and watching a match with Shawn Michaels costs $8,000. Even the Meet and Greets for WWE Superstars during WrestleMania 41 weekend are priced anywhere between $300 to $600, ranging from stars such as Bianca Belair to The Usos, Damian Priest and more.
WrestleMania 41 will take place on April 19 and April 20, 2025 at the Allegiant Stadium, and the prices for a lot of their events are simply far too expensive for many people at the moment. Regardless, it’s unlikely WWE will lower prices for any of their events anytime soon and fans will simply have to accept that right now.
