WWE SmackDown ticket sales for this week see big uplift following RAW
WWE SmackDown is set to take place this week from the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, PA. According to the latest update from WrestleTix, there have been 8,299 distributed for the show thus far, which is up +1,050 since the last update (from 1 day ago).
For context, the last time the company ran the building was for the 2/2/2026 episode of Raw, which saw 13,726 tickets distributed overall. Tickets to Raw tend to do better than SmackDown and there could be a number of reasons for that (Friday being a more obvious ‘going out’ night rather than watching wrestling being chief among them), but getting over 1k tickets sold after RAW this week is impressive and takes SmackDown closer to the year to date average of 9,206 tickets distributed.
As of writing, there are around 927 tickets available on the resale market, and the cheapest ticket available right now (for Standard Admission) is $49.35.
Why have so many tickets sold over the last day?
There has been nothing major announced for SmackDown (that I have seen as of writing) and Kevin Owens was confirmed as the new #1 contender to the WWE Championship when he returned on SummerSlam Saturday; so neither of these appear to have affected the number.
The price of tickets doesn’t appear to have dropped wildly either, so this could legitimately be a case of Raw being a solid show this week and it driving people to buying tickets for SmackDown. I’ll of course update this page if a more obvious reason rears its head, but I can’t see anything beyond that right now.
UPDATE: Xfinity is offered a special 2-for-1 tickets sale for Friday, so there’s a good chance that helped as well. Credit to our @ian-carey for sharing this. Note that the special offer code is WWEPHL and not WWEPHIL, which is obviously how I misread it at first.
