WrestleMania 41 Shatters All-Time Gate Record with $66 Million in Ticket Sales

WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas didn’t just break records — it obliterated them.

According to data obtained by POST Wrestling from live event trade publication Pollstar, the two-night spectacle at Allegiant Stadium on April 19 and 20, 2025 generated a combined $66,074,558 in ticket sales. Those figures had not previously been reported in the media. Pollstar did not provide a night-by-night breakdown, but if the split was close to even, each night pulled in roughly $33 million.

That number stands far beyond any pro wrestling gate in history — even when adjusting for inflation. The two events sold 113,412 tickets. Interestingly, attendance numbers released by the stadium authority listed 58,538 for Saturday and 60,103 for Sunday, totaling 118,641. That exceeds the ticket count reported by Pollstar, suggesting the venue’s attendance figure likely included more than just paid ticket sales.

Based on distribution estimates from WrestleTix, Sunday likely edged out Saturday in revenue, with 61,389 tickets distributed compared to 60,151 for Night 1. That would align with trends seen at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia, where Night 2 outpaced Night 1 in ticket revenue.

Night 1 in Las Vegas was headlined by a Seth Rollins victory over Roman Reigns and CM Punk in a triple threat match. Night 2 concluded with John Cena capturing the Undisputed WWE Championship from Cody Rhodes — a moment that capped off a historic financial weekend.

Before Las Vegas, the previous real-time dollar record belonged to WrestleMania 40 Night 2 in Philadelphia. Adjusted for inflation, WrestleMania 32 in Arlington, Texas held the all-time record, with its $17.3 million gate equating to about $23 million today. Each night in Las Vegas surpassed that adjusted figure by roughly $10 million.

Those record gates came with record prices.

The average ticket price for WrestleMania 41 was approximately $635. That nearly doubled the Philadelphia WrestleMania average, which itself had nearly doubled from WrestleMania 39 in Inglewood. WWE and its parent company TKO have clearly leaned into a pricing model closer to major concerts and UFC events — but the increases have created significant sticker shock among fans.

Beyond ticket revenue, WWE also received financial incentives from Nevada. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority provided a $5 million site fee. WWE additionally qualified for $4.2 million in tax credits through Nevada’s film program, bringing total incentives for WrestleMania 41 to roughly $9.2 million.

WrestleMania returns to Las Vegas again this April, marking the first time WWE has held its flagship event in the same city two years in a row. Originally announced for New Orleans, the company later pivoted back to Las Vegas.

However, early ticket movement for WrestleMania 42 is trailing behind last year’s pace. According to WrestleTix estimates, around 37,000 tickets have been distributed for each night so far. At a comparable point last year, the number was closer to 45,000 per night.

As of now, the lowest single ticket price for either night is just over $200 on Ticketmaster. Allegiant Stadium recently promoted a limited-time discount. The discount aligns with reports that WWE executives are not fully satisfied with the current sales pace.

Meanwhile, other WrestleMania weekend events in Las Vegas also delivered major numbers in 2025. SmackDown at T-Mobile Arena generated $2.5 million. NXT Stand & Deliver drew $924,000. The Raw after WrestleMania brought in $3.48 million — one of the highest arena gates in company history, though still below the $4.8 million earned by Raw’s Netflix premiere in Los Angeles at the Intuit Dome earlier that year.

WrestleMania 41 set a financial bar that may be difficult to replicate — especially with higher ticket prices and softer early sales momentum heading into WrestleMania 42.
