New Ticket Update Reveals How WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event Is Really Selling

With WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event set to take place tonight at the Bell Centre in Montreal, a fresh update from WrestleTix gives insight into how the show is really performing from a ticket sales perspective—and it’s not all good news.

According to the latest figures, WWE has distributed 10,761 tickets for the event. While that might seem like a solid number at first glance—especially with only 476 tickets remaining—a closer look at the seating map tells a different story.

The current setup is for 11,237 seats, and WWE has moved 1,802 more tickets since the last update five days ago. But here’s the real kicker: the total number of seats on the map is a massive 19,585. That means over 8,000 seats are not even being used, suggesting a major downscale to avoid the appearance of empty sections on TV.

This event was promoted as a big deal, with a card featuring Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu, a Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender’s Match, and the final AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura clash. Yet WWE’s decision to scale down from a near 20K capacity to just over 11K shows that demand didn’t quite live up to expectations.

For comparison, the last major WWE event at this venue—SmackDown on August 8, 2025—had a setup of 13,987 seats, meaning tonight’s setup is more than 2,700 seats fewer than that show.

The cheapest ticket currently available is CA $66.00, and 79 seats are listed for resale.

So while the optics may scream sellout, the truth is WWE significantly reduced the available seating to maintain a packed look. It’s a reminder that even with top-tier talent on the card, filling up a large arena is never a guaranteed slam dunk.
