WWE still isn’t giving away free tickets to WrestleMania, even as the company jokes about attendance on its own programming.

Bryan Alvarez addressed the situation directly in a message to subscribers on X, saying WWE continues to insist that comp tickets are not being handed out this year. That comes despite a recent SmackDown segment that referenced lower-than-expected ticket sales for WrestleMania. While discussing the situation, Alvarez made it clear that WWE is sticking to its position when it comes to free tickets.

“WWE still claiming at least to a lot of people that there are no comps this year even though they’re making fun of their own low attendance on Smackdown.”

The lack of comp tickets has been an ongoing issue since TKO took over the company. Reports surfaced in late 2024 that it had become harder for WWE talent to secure free tickets for friends and family, something that was once common in the company.

WrestleMania has always been WWE’s biggest show of the year, and ticket demand is usually strong. However, with rising prices and reports about attendance expectations, the company’s decision to limit free tickets has continued to draw attention from both fans and industry insiders.

With WrestleMania approaching, it remains to be seen whether WWE sticks to this policy or makes changes if ticket sales shift closer to the event.

Do you think WWE should bring back comp tickets for talent families and longtime workers, or is it fair for everyone to pay full price now? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know.
