WWE Stars Struggling to Get Free Tickets for WrestleMania 41—Even Top Names Affected

WWE is on the verge of pulling off a double sellout for WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas—but the behind-the-scenes grind is very real for talent, even those not booked to wrestle.

As of Saturday morning, just over 1,200 tickets remained for Night One at Allegiant Stadium, with about 1,300 left for Night Two. According to Fightful Select, sources inside WWE are confident they’ll hit a full sellout by bell time. WrestleTix also showed strong movement in recent updates, signaling fans are scooping up seats fast.

But while WWE celebrates the packed house, talent are facing a different reality. WWE stopped offering comp tickets to talent months ago—and that policy is still in effect for WrestleMania. Even top stars are reportedly finding it “virtually impossible” to secure free tickets for friends and family. One WWE higher-up reportedly said, “It’s a product of the company’s success.”

Meanwhile, some stars who aren’t even wrestling at WrestleMania are still slammed with promotional work. Meet-and-greets, press events, and media junkets have stacked their schedules. One source mentioned up to six public obligations across the weekend—even with no match booked.

Talent also said this is the “tightest comp situation they’ve seen” in years. Still, many wrestlers brought their families to town, even if it meant shelling out big bucks just to let them witness the moment.

WWE might be winning at the box office, but it’s clear that even behind the curtain, everyone’s putting in the work.
