WrestleMania 40 is a very important show for WWE because it will be 4 decades that WWE will have hosted the biggest wrestling show in the world and the one that has the most significance and the most prestige involved in it. WrestleMania 40 is a show that is eagerly anticipated by the entire WWE universe because there are many stories which can be told and a story has to be finished and thus the fans want to see history happen. WrestleMania 39 sold more than 1,30,000 tickets and the total revenue that was generated by these ticket sales were $21.6 million. And WrestleMania 39 set the all time gate record for WWE In its entire history.
However, WWE fans are so invested in WWE that they were ready to pay high prices to go to WrestleMania and the highest ticket was $5,000 which is the highest in its history and the cheapest is $25 just like last year. WrestleMania 40 has sold close to 100,000 Tickets meaning 50,000 tickets for each night on average and the revenue that has been generated has crossed $22 million which is $400,000 more than WrestleMania 39. And the event will be held on 6th and 7th April which is 8 months away. And it is still a long time away before the matches for WrestleMania 40 are announced. And WWE should capitalize on the opportunity and announce a truly great match and Which will be talked about in the future.
WrestleMania since it has been moved to 2 nights since 36 has been one of the most successful business moves that WWE has made in a long time. This idea arrived because of Covid 19 so WWE should be thankful that this idea stuck and from WrestleMania 37 when 50,000+ tickets were sold across both nights in the heart of the Pandemic and from WrestleMania 38 , more than 1,20,000 tickets used to be sold across both nights and after 5 years at WrestleMania 40, tyegate record has been broken. The next step In this evolution has to be WWE holding WrestleMania overseas and starting with London and at Wembley Stadium. WWE will sell more than 1,80,000 tickets across both nights and more than $30 million can be generated.
