WWE announces record-breaking first-day ticket sales for WrestleMania 39
WWE is touting record-breaking ticket sale numbers for WrestleMania 39.
After tickets went on sale to the general public last Friday, WWE issued a press release this morning announcing that WrestleMania 39 has set a record for first-day ticket sales. More than 90,000 tickets for the two-night event were sold within the first 24 hours, which WWE says is a 42 percent increase over first-day ticket sales for WrestleMania 38.
SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California is hosting WrestleMania 39 on Saturday, April 1 and Sunday, April 2, 2023. It will be the fourth straight year that WrestleMania has been held over two nights.
“WWE today announced a record for first-day ticket sales for WrestleMania 39 taking place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles,” WWE wrote. “Over 90,000 tickets were sold within the first 24 hours – more than any event in WWE history and a 42% increase over first-day sales for WrestleMania 38 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.”
Paul “Triple H” Levesque also addressed the ticket sales on WWE’s second quarter investors call this morning.
“In nearly 40 years, we have never sold that many WrestleMania tickets that fast,” Levesque said. “With those record numbers, we are tracking toward sell-outs with passionate fans at SoFi Stadium for both nights.”
Of the two-night WrestleManias that have taken place, this will be the second with full-capacity crowds.
WrestleMania 40 in 2024 will also be a two-night show. It’s been announced for Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
